10 anything-but-ordinary skirts to buy

This season’s biggest trending skirts are defying all traditional tailoring codes with new contemporary cuts and silhouettes. Here are some of the most unique picks we’ve found for your shopping pleasure

by Michelle Yeoh  /   March 18, 2020

It’s time to rethink your skirt options – for SS ‘20, they’re about to get as outre and newfangled as you can ever imagine. Sporting unusual new silhouettes, cuts and shapes that veer away from traditional tailoring codes, these skirts are interesting conversational pieces. From two-tone half-half designs, voluminous tulip silhouettes, and unconventional cut-outs add an interesting edge, this season’s skirts are breaking norms and challenging us to step up our game in the style department. 

Eager to get ahead of the trend? Shop our favourite unique designer picks from brands like Loewe, Bottega Veneta and Chloé below.

Expect to turn heads with this number. Proenza Schouler’s crepe midi skirt, as seen during the brand’s SS ‘20 presentation, features expertly-crafted drapes that cascade into structured folds down the sides for an interesting shape.

Complement the sophisticated styling of this skirt with a silk cropped blouse and a pair of polished pointed toe pumps.

Monse asymmetric patchwork cotton-blend skirt, US$1,690 from Moda Operandi
image

As with any other design from Monse, deconstruction and unique cuts take centre stage as key details. Taking inspiration from an earthy, boheme world where farm-fresh ideas flourish, Monse’s SS ‘20 collection shows the brand’s aesthetic filtered through a softer lens.

Featuring a patchwork of raw canvas-like fabric covered in stripe prints or a collage of hand-written letters and lemon trees, this lovely asymmetrical skirt will surely warm more than a few hearts.

image

Christopher Kane’s velvet mini skirt allows you to make a splash at your next big party. Made with large statement satin frills trimming the hem, this skirt will add a fun edge to your “going out’ look.

Chloé asymmetric wrap midi skirt, S$2,150 from Farfetch
image

It isn’t really springtime without a cute floral skirt to usher you through it. Chloé’s blue crepe skirt features a gold embroidered scallop edge and an airy wrap design giving rise to the illusion of a layered silhouette affixed with ties at the waist.

Style this with a puff sleeved cotton crop top and a pair of canvas strap sandals for a casual weekend ensemble.

Bottega Veneta voluminous midi skirt, S$2,160 from Farfetch
image

What we love about this tulip shaped skirt from Bottega Veneta is its contemporary artsy feel. Made with a voluminous structured shape, this skirt brings to mind the art of sculpted ceramics.

Combined with its neutral colour palette and minimalist construction, this number is both wearable and avant garde. Anchor the standout silhouette with a relaxed tank top or camisole and a pair of sneakers.

Farfetch
Maison Margiela houndstooth print button up skirt, S$1,400 from Farfetch
image

A houndstooth printed midi skirt may seem stuffy and archaic by theory, but leave it to Maison Margiela to switch it up and make it modern. Taking the anatomy of an A-line double-breasted midi skirt and deconstructing it with cutouts at the hem and two front slits that unveil an inner mini layer.

Team this with a simple oversized white shirt and a pair of ankle boots to change up your everyday work outfit.

image

Get a head start on one on 2020’s biggest trends to come: fringing. This power blue tweed skirt from Jacquemus’s spring ‘20 collection is overlaid with strands of tiny little pompom appliques that will take after undulating wispy stalks of flowers floating in the wind when you walk.

Team this with a pair of naked strappy heels in a soft pastel colour and a blush pink ribbed knit sweater.

Loewe two-tone paneled cotton-twill maxi skirt, US$720 from Moda Operandi
image

Taking inspiration from the construction of tailored trousers, Loewe reinvents the classic with this half-half maxi skirt. This floor-length skirt features an angular diamond-shaped silhouette bolstered by oversized “trouser hem” panels in sturdy and contrasting light beige and camel brown cotton-twill.

Coordinate it with a simple white graphic tee, a pair of square toe pumps and a gold chunky chain choker.
