If you’re on Team Skirt and enjoy wearing black natural fibre cotton and linen-rich skirts in Summer. this post is for you. Combine casual black skirts with casual patterned tops that have black in the pattern, or stick to solids. Wearing a solid black top with a black skirt is another way to go.
The outfit needs a summery integrity to offset the heaviness of wearing black in hot weather. This means lightweight fabrics and showcasing skin to combat the heat.
Neutral solids are a slam dunk match with summery black skirts, and here are some examples.
1. Earthy
A pretty, black flared eyelet midaxi skirt is combined with an earthy brown knitted waistcoat that’s buttoned through. The bottom button is left un-buttoned to create an interesting V-shape at the waist. Black thong sandals and bag match the skirt, and a burnt orange necklace completes the look.
2. Blue Denim
A casual black, form fitting knitted crochet midi skirt with fringe is combined with a light weight denim fluid and embroidered puffed sleeve blouse. The blouse is short with mini side slits, creating super duper outfit proportions when worn over the skirt. Black heeled thong sandals add a dressier touch, and match the model’s hair and skirt. Dainty gold jewellery adds shine and glam. Add a bag that works with the palette.
3. Layered
A knee-length black pencil skirt with side vents is combined with a tucked mustard shell top for waist definition. A mustard cardigan is layered over the top to create a monochromatic twinset-effect. White sneakers add sporty to the luxe. An off-white and cinnamon bag add a crisp earthy touch. A gold pendant on a black cord adds a relaxed jewellery touch, and matches the black in the outfit.
3. Sporty
Last, a black midaxi cargo skirt is combined with an oversized high contrast white sporty tee. It’s tucked to showcase the waist and hip area of the skirt, and create some structure. White sneakers with black stripes that match the skirt are the sporty shoes of choice. A bag in white, black or blue can work well here. Add jewellery, watch and eyewear as desired.
