I love and find easier to style if alternating the textures, so plain leather would be nicer in my books. Simple black (cognac) with black sheers (nude) tights? Or black opaques with the black boots/booties. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-out-of-curiosity-how-would-you-style-this-skirt#post-1574468 Wed, 21 Oct 2015 11:06:08 +0000 rute 1574468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the ideia of tall boots or booties in cognac or cream, but I woud avoid suede also! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-out-of-curiosity-how-would-you-style-this-skirt#post-1574467 Wed, 21 Oct 2015 11:04:23 +0000 krishnidoux 1574467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think there is a reason why it's shown with booties. Imagine knee high boots: the cut off line they would create on the leg would be distracting added to the skirt's hidden shorter hem. It would create just a square of flesh where the skirt opens. <br />It's a very cute skirt though. Calf-length boots would work. Doc Martens style certainly, if worn with appropriate funky/punkish/vivien-westwoodish top.<br />Or to keep it in the 70's vibe, with some Dansko clogs and a nice victorian style blouse, tucked, buttoned up, preferably with a jabot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-out-of-curiosity-how-would-you-style-this-skirt#post-1574466 Wed, 21 Oct 2015 10:43:44 +0000 Inge 1574466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's such a stunning skirt!<br />I could also see it with very sleek (low-heeled) cream leather boots (or perhaps a very light taupe or very light grey), or a pair of cream leather (or even suede) go-go boots for a modern retro vibe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-out-of-curiosity-how-would-you-style-this-skirt#post-1574455 Wed, 21 Oct 2015 08:15:41 +0000 Lucy 1574455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh love it! I'd wear it with black turtleneck, black opaque tights and then any kind of black leather shoe or boot. I wouldn't double do the suede. The skirt is kind of a star, I'd keep the rest uber simple.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-out-of-curiosity-how-would-you-style-this-skirt#post-1574363 Wed, 21 Oct 2015 00:36:51 +0000 kerlyn 1574363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lots of great suggestions already. &nbsp;Just wanted to add mine...brown leather mid-calf boots and a cropped sweater (maybe in cream?)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-out-of-curiosity-how-would-you-style-this-skirt#post-1574296 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 21:45:55 +0000 Anonymous 1574296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been eyeballing this skirt online too - and I decided it was best suited to late summer, early fall, when you can wear a shoe just like the model is. &nbsp;I saw it shown in a photo with one of the sweaters Angie linked to recently in a peach/rust/teal blend. &nbsp;I like Vivian's idea of a black sleeveless turtle and booties with black tights too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-out-of-curiosity-how-would-you-style-this-skirt#post-1574292 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 21:38:14 +0000 shedev 1574292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chunky cropped knit and booties. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-out-of-curiosity-how-would-you-style-this-skirt#post-1574197 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 18:09:05 +0000 cjh 1574197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have not read other responses, but this is made to go with a dark paisley print pussy bow blouse, tucked in, and chunky block heel boots. Add a fringed poncho and a knit beret - 1970s perfection. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-out-of-curiosity-how-would-you-style-this-skirt#post-1574195 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 18:02:14 +0000 Ingunn 1574195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd style it with smooth tall black boots, heels, no buckles or other details. The top should be a black fitted turtleneck, and I would wear a navy minimal mannish coat over this. Now I only need that gorgeous skirt.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-out-of-curiosity-how-would-you-style-this-skirt#post-1574186 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 17:40:45 +0000 LaPed 1574186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chunky black harness boots for a moto-inspired look. With the buckles and asymmetry in that skirt, you could go that direction. Add a cropped black topper of some sort. I think zip-up would be best.&nbsp;</p> <p>Or western-inspired... roper boots and silver/turquoise jewelry. Tuck in an embellished blouse of some sort. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-out-of-curiosity-how-would-you-style-this-skirt#post-1574180 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 17:15:38 +0000 Alassë 1574180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think smooth leather boots would work fine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-out-of-curiosity-how-would-you-style-this-skirt#post-1574170 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 16:57:01 +0000 kkards 1574170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i'd actually not wear boots or booties and go for a simple sleek pump in either the same color as the skirt or a nude. i'd look for a cropped sweater....not a midriff baring one, but one that hits just at the waist.....&nbsp;</p> <p>Diane, FYI the last picture on the anthro site shows the model with tall boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-out-of-curiosity-how-would-you-style-this-skirt#post-1574163 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 16:40:47 +0000 Diana 1574163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh, Vivian, I think a chunky sleeveless turtleneck would be amazing with this!&nbsp; (But, yes, cold... I feel like when I was younger, my arms didn't get as cold, but these days I need my arms covered to stay warm.)&nbsp; </p> <p>So I think the smooth leather booties in the modeled picture work, but would tall boots work as well?&nbsp; I can't help but think it might be too much leather?&nbsp; </p> <p>Elizabeth, no tucking for me either!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-out-of-curiosity-how-would-you-style-this-skirt#post-1574160 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 16:30:14 +0000 Elizabeth P 1574160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I showed this skirt to a friend of mine a few weeks ago, as it's in her colour palette, and I totally loved it.&nbsp; We had that exact conversation... not so much about footwear, but what kind of top?&nbsp; You'd hate to hide the waist detail, yet who wants to wear things tucked in?&nbsp; (well, not either of us! ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-out-of-curiosity-how-would-you-style-this-skirt#post-1574153 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 16:09:16 +0000 Janet 1574153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this skirt too, but like you, I barely ever wear the skirts I have. </p> <p>For me, I envision this skirt with black tall boots (my Stuart Weitzman leather/neoprene stretch ones would be good) or black heeled booties (like my pointed toe, fitted ankle Fluevogs) and black nearly- opaque tights. I'd probably like it best paired with something really simple and sleek like a black turtleneck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-out-of-curiosity-how-would-you-style-this-skirt#post-1574152 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 16:04:45 +0000 Anonymous 1574152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I like the smooth tan they've got going in the picture.<br />Alternatively, you could do grey suede, and grey tights.<br />I like mid-shaft boots with this.<br />Maybe a simple white knit top because the skirt seems kind of cozy.<br />Big watch.<br />Cobalt or cognac structured bag, maybe?&nbsp; </p> <p></p> <p>ETA: Janet's recent post about her skinny scarf and coated skinnies has a top and scarf that would look good with this skirt, I think.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-out-of-curiosity-how-would-you-style-this-skirt#post-1574147 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 15:42:31 +0000 viva 1574147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually think I would NOT wear suede boots. I think smooth black riding boots are just right, or black booties with tights maybe. On top, I'd be inclined to wear something simple so the skirt could really be the hero: black sleeveless turtleneck (I know: cold!), or an ivory silk tank (cold again) with booties to dress it up. For more casual, maybe a cropped sweater since this looks high waisted or some variation on a plaid shirt to play with the suede. Maybe even a cropped denim jacket buttoned up like a shirt, with a coral scarf. I don't know if any of this makes sense.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-out-of-curiosity-how-would-you-style-this-skirt#post-1574146 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 15:39:41 +0000 Word Lily 1574146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I'd actually prefer it with smooth leather boots over suede boots. Contrast in textures = good!</p> <p>It's a really beautiful skirt, but as you point out, not the most practical garment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-out-of-curiosity-how-would-you-style-this-skirt#post-1574142 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 15:33:37 +0000 Diana 1574142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This lovely teal suede midi skirt was in an email I got from Anthropologie this morning.&nbsp; Now, I'm not going to buy it unless it goes on major sale, as I don't wear my winter skirts enough as is (esp. since I'm currently going through an anti-tights phase), plus it would be impractical with rain/snow.&nbsp; I'm also unsure how one would style it, especially in a non-earthy way.&nbsp; Is that even possible?</p> <p>In particular, what shoes would you wear with a suede skirt?&nbsp; Tall boots? OTK boots?&nbsp; Would they also have to be suede?&nbsp; Or could one wear, say, smooth black leather riding boots?&nbsp; </p>
