The Skirt Report

As winter’s cool breeze sweeps in, layering is bound to make a comeback, bringing warmth and style to seasonal looks. Layers are an easy way to elevate and diversify an outfit. But this year, we’re seeing something refreshingly different from the usual jacket-and-scarf combo. According to WGSN, they think layers are making it down to the southern region of the outfit—Layered Pants. Imagine pairing a classic trouser with a skirt overlay, creating a unique layered silhouette that’s both versatile and visually striking. With sustainability taking center stage, shoppers are drawn to timeless, high-quality items that last. The skirt-over-trouser look is poised to be an exciting addition to any wardrobe, offering both adaptability and enduring style. And even if the trend fades, the individual pieces—a skirt and a trouser—remain staple items. Will the skirt-over-trouser look become a lasting trend, or fade as quickly as it arrived? Are you bold enough to give it a go?
