Green,blue,maroon. What a combination.
I thought so too before i tried out this look. If colour blocking wasn’t a thing i wouldn’t consider trying this out in the first place. Saying it loud already feels ridiculous leave alone trying it on. This is one of the reasons i fit my clothes physically before choosing an outfit for a specific occasion. Ever had an outfit fit so perfectly in your head only for you to be disappointed once you try it on? It happens to me too.
A few months ago my roomie and I decided to go hiking over the weekend. I was so hyped and was really looking forward to wearing this skater skirt that i had just bought,paired with a white Tshirt and white rubber shoes. You get the picture right?It was really cute in my head too. The day comes I’m already an hour late, I put on my “cute” outfit and dash out. As i count my fashion mistakes this is definitely one of them.
By the time we reached the peak, one couldn’t really tell the exact color of the shoes and Tee I was wearing. I look back and wonder who in their right minds wears a skirt when going for hiking. Definitely me back then i guess.
Okay let’s talk about skirts. “Sketi” if you may.
I’m not really a fan of wearing tight skirts although i own one or two of the same. Something about them being tight doesn’t seem right with me. I prefer something i can walk freely in, something that doesn’t limit my strides.
How to differentiate skater skirts from the rest of the skirts? Well skater skirts are narrow at the top and flare gently getting wider towards the bottom kinda like the letter A.
Styling skater skirts is a walk in the park if you ask me. I prefer going for plain colours in this case. This gives me a tone of options of ways i can wear it. Here are a few ways to get you started ,
1. Pair your skater skirt with a T-shirt and rubber shoes or heels. ( Do not go hiking with this though) This outfit is perfect for casual hangouts.
2. Pair your skater (preferably knee length ) with an official long sleeved blouse and a pair of red bottom heels for an official look perfect for work or anything formal.
3. Pair your skater with a T-shirt,a leather jacket and boots. A perfect outfit for casual hangouts.
4. For a more conservative look, wear opaque leggings such as stockings, skinny jeans and leggings paired with a polo neck and boots.
5. I have this rule while pairing my outfits, i never pair two printed pieces together floral,checkered you name it unless I’m going for a vintage look. It works for me. Pair your floral skater with a plain top or vice versa.
There you go pal. You are all set to rock that skater skirt.
For my outfit i went for a denim shirt just to prove that green, blue and maroon is a great combination because fashion and style offers room for diversity.
ADIOS💜💜💜💜
