From mini to maxi styles, a wool skirt will be your best friend when trying to stay cosy and stylish this season.
The satin slip skirt has been a reliable and incredibly versatile staple in our wardrobes for years. But let’s be honest, now that winter is here, a thin slip doesn’t cut it anymore. Happily, there’s another skirt that ticks all the same boxes and keeps you comfortable and warm at the same time: the wool skirt.
Whether paired with a joyful jumper for a relaxed, laid-back look or a belted blazer for a polished office outfit, wool skirts offer plenty of styling options. Merino blends will add a touch of luxury, and you can layer with thermal items for added warmth.
While long, flowing maxi skirts are a timeless choice for battling the cold, turn to knitted midi and mini silhouettes for a chic alternative to longer styles. Pair them with thick tights and low-heeled boots and you’ve got a winter outfit formula that’ll become your go-to during the colder months.
And with high street heroes including Cos, Mango and Hush offering fabulously warm options crafted from luxurious cuts of wool, there’s a style to suit everyone.
From tailored to leopard print, keep scrolling to see our pick of nine of the best wool skirts to snap up right now.
