Please help me style the Hinge skirt!

Tammyb

I am trying to decide if I should keep or return it. It fits beautifully! But can anyone give me ideas on what to wear with it summer, fall or winter? Thanks!!
ETA: it hits below the knee on me.

1st thought --casual summer outfit, just add a white tee and white sneakers. this can easily transition to early fall by adding a bomber (or a cardigan if that's more your style)
for fall you could wear booties and a leather jacket. for winter, add tights.

i'm linking back to a couple of Angie's blog posts on wearing denim skirts, this could give you other ideas, and there are some forum members example if look under FORUM CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THIS POST at the bottom of the post.

Great ideas kkards and I loved looking back at the other denim posts. I've been eyeing that skirt too but worry if it falls below the knee, it would be too long on my 5'5" frame.

I can't wear to high heels due to foot issues but can pull off maybe 1.5. I have the Munro booties in black and a pair of cognac boots from an NAS a few years back.

Nina, I am also 5'5" with longer legs and shorter torso. It falls just below the knees for me. I also picked up these booties at NAS so maybe I'll play around with it all a little more IRL...

When shopping with YLF I saw a saleswoman at Nordies wearing a midi pencil skirt with black heeled ankle boots, they were the Maison Margiela Tabi boots, & a fitted black turtleneck. Nothing was loose, it looked really cool & may inspire me to look for a denim skirt, but not faded.

ETA more inspiration
I realize #2 is a midi, but I like the bow tie blouse.

I think heels will help with the length, whatever outfit you go with.

I wore mine with a simple black t-shirt and black sandals yesterday. I also had on a silver bangle and earrings.

I like the examples Anna posted too.

For someone concerned about the skirt being too long on their legs, booties might have a leg-shortening effect. Sandals / low vamped shoes might help.

The skirt in this picture isn't denim, but your skirt could mimic these proportions. I'd love to see it with a chunky knit similar to what Angie is wearing here, in ivory, or black.

I love pic 7 in Anna's list, and I also like pic 1 but would struggle to wear this myself (tucking, stilettos).

It can be tricky to style a skirt that goes a little below the knee if you are not tall. For me (I'm 5'2"), I find that heels help a lot.

You may also find that footwear that is low contrast to your skin (or tights, if you're wearing tights) will help lengthen the leg. Pointy-toed footwear is helpful in this regard too.

I have also found that wearing knee-high boots can work, even if they are flat. Since the top of the boot will be hidden by the skirt, you have a long line of leg plus foot that has a lengthening effect.
