Along with slim rectangular specs and pointed toe court shoes, the wool skirt trend is right on track for a major comeback this winter. Whilst it certainly wins practicality points—wool is, of course, a winter-weather non-negotiable, that’s not the only reason we’ve fallen for this heavy-weight fabric this time around. Adding structure and texture, sleek wool skirts offer a malleable pallet infused with a polished edge that can be heightened or dimmed down depending on your styling choices.
Spotted all over the A/W runways styled with button-down shirts, tweed jackets, skin-grazing knits and boxy blazers, the season’s favourite skirt was a unanimous hit across brands. On the city streets, influencers are already playing to the tailored elements of the neat skirts, styling with traditional turtlenecks and sharp kitten heels on repeat.
