Just because it’s winter doesn’t mean you have to wear pants everyday. I am notorious for wearing a skirt in winter (even before I moved to Florida). I just find skirts to be more comfortable than pants most of the time. Even though it may be warmer in Florida than the rest of the world, doesn’t mean I can wear any old skirt in winter. Check out these creative ways to stay warm and wear a skirt in the cold.
How to Wear a Skirt in Winter
Add Stockings/Leggings to a Skirt in Winter
By adding a layer of protection on your legs you’ll prevent chill goosebumps appearing. Or at the very least they will stay hidden beneath your stockings. A fun way to do this is by wearing printed leggings under a solid skirt. This adds pattern and flair in a way that is still seasonally appropriate.
Wear a Midi/Full Length Skirt
This is another simple way to protect your legs from the cold air. My go to skirt in the winter is a midi skirt. It allows enough air to breath but to also keep me warm. Not to mention I don’t need to make alterations to a midi skirt. On the other hand I tend to run into problems with a full length skirt. Because I’m petite they can run longer than I’d like. Hemming is something I don’t enjoy doing unless it is for a special occasion (like weddings or formals). To each they’re own though. If you’re taller and find the perfect full length skirt every time, rock it!
Wear a Thicker Fabric
Fabrics can make or break a skirt in winter. For example, a chiffon skirt should probably be worn in the spring or summer and not the winter. Pick fabrics like wool, flannel, or leather for skirts that you wear in the winter. Besides keeping you warmer, these fabrics are always trendy during colder months.
