Attention-Grabbing Skirt Trends that will Light up 2024

Designers have been putting their entire focus on the skirts since the last few seasons. Famed designers have been building their collections around a few prime skirt styles which include voluminous A-line silhouettes, pleated schoolgirl-esque skirts, and ultra-fine sheers. The expert and experienced professionals are going all out with these cool-outfit-forming skirts and there are so many refreshing, mind-boggling styles to look forward to.

Read on for all the evolving, new skirt trends to try this year.

Rich Satin Skirts

Rich, heavy satin is already predicted to be a key 2024 trend. For months now, fashion enthusiasts have been sporting satin coats and satin shoes. However, a skirt is exactly the piece where the luxurious fabric deserves to be the most. The French-American clothing designer, Joseph Altuzarra, is so committed to the look that it wouldn’t be wrong to say that he crafted his entire collection around this material. The “Karina” skirt which had its debut on the SS24 runway where the designer took endearing, familiar silhouettes, and changed them with the help of unique fabrications, is a favorite of many. Needless to say, fashion-forward women have eyes on the piece that is crafted out of smooth satin and features a folded waist along with cool slip pockets!

Evergreen Pencil Skirts

Into business? Doesn’t matter! Whether or not you have a desk job, you would love to get dressed in these improved pencil skirt versions. Corporate-coded pinstripes and sleek patent leather are making a comeback. If you got excited by the news or if the hot-office-chick look is totally you, you might love to try one in a midi style. How about an exceptionally comfortable pencil skirt displaying two pockets, a bit of a front slit, and some stretch? You can use such a look anywhere you like, from meeting up with friends to going on a casual date. Don’t forget the smooth black or beige stockings and nice kitten heels. As for the top, both a slim-fitting as well as baggy top work well with these figure-hugging beauties.

Sensuous Sheer Skirts

One can’t help but notice how over the last few years, sheer skirts have dominated the fashion scene, and 2024 won’t be an exception. If you haven’t tried the sheer style yet, being more afraid of the see-through style, it’s time to go for it since you are likely to see more semi-sheer fabrics which will be on the classier and decent end. Right from the transparent panels to the sheer overlays, the creative minds play with the idea of revealing without fully exposing. Unlike the otherwise riskier style, they will elevate your look. For added polish, you can wear one with a boxy blazer or a simple-knit sweater. Combined with built-in shorts or solid linings, they offer an ethereal and exquisite aesthetic.

Party-Time Paillettes Skirts

Do you like over-the-top styles? Do you prefer braver designs? Don’t worry, while it’s true that a majority of the skirt styles are subdued and elegant, there are a few that are right up the alley of the bold dressers, like this one. Daytime sequins or large-scale sequins have been quite a sight on the runways. Skirts crafted with paillettes made jaws drop and why not? After all, the shimmery pieces are surely something. Though sequined skirts are largely associated with evening wear, the batch was all about throwing them on with wardrobe basics for a rather casual appearance. Consider wearing one with a turtleneck t-shirt or a simple crisp white button-down. You will get a balanced look in this way.

Mesmerizing Maxi Skirts

The maxi skirt trend is here to stay. And this year, they are evolving, taking a more pleasant turn. In the spring/summer 2024 collection, the sweeping maxi skirts with cool white shirts combination and floaty layered maxi skirts with bombers took the heart away. While the minimalist maxi column skirts of a renowned luxury fashion house were partnered with rib knits or tank tops, there were more 90s references via a reputed brand’s bubble slip and maxi skirts (especially as they were paired with plain and simple straight-neck tops). Wool and tailored maxi skirts are having a moment right now. These versions fit amazingly into the 90s office aesthetic. Whatever you opt for as the top wear, sticking to the pointy toes will be a wise decision.

Rise Of The Bubble-Hem Skirts

Just like how balloon dresses are popular, get ready to see the rise of bubble-hem skirts this year. To bring maximum drama to the look, two-piece skirt sets were offered puffed-up treatment at Altuzarra and Schiaparelli. On the other hand, at MSGM and Bally, bubble hems came in the form of softer draping on skirts and dresses. When you have plans with your girl gang, you can pair a mini-bubble hem skirt with tights and heels. They will serve as the perfect ensemble for a night out. Also, you can pair a bubble-hem skirt with a checkered wrap-up jacket to get the ultimate boss-lady look for work.

Luxe Lacy Skirts

If you always had a soft corner for lace, you will be glad to know that this year, they will be back with a bang. In several collections, super fine lace skirts have popped up, including those from the famed Venezuelan fashion designer, Carolina Herrera. When they were styled along with iconic pumps, they gave an elegant feel to the wearer. These lace skirts are exactly what you would like to grab for an important dinner party. If you aren’t that much into pumps, you can always go for combat boots. The chunky boots will add an edge to your outfit.

Cute -Tailored Mini Skirts

Maxi hemlines will stay for a long time. However, the one trend that is likely to become a staple soon is predicted to be the tailored minis. These womenswear minis are like the skirt version of your favorite trousers. With built-in shorts in most, you won’t feel any discomfort. Think luxe gold hues and boxy shapes. You can style them with t-shirts and leather jackets or pair them with cropped tops and blazers. As for footwear, you can put your trust in sneakers, ballet flats, and loafers. They will give you the perfect baby doll appearance (even more if you have an hourglass body shape).

Twist To The School’s Pleated Mini-Skirts

Remember your school’s pleated mini skirt? A similar version for the grown-ups will be out soon. Even though if you get to see them in mini styles, they will have no “gossip girl” image to them but a more “I want to focus on my future plans” vibe. If you are done with the mini pleated style, you can go for a midi in that case. However, try not to ditch the socks and loafers, since this style will remain incomplete without them. A half shirt, sweater vest, a midi pleated skirt along with white socks and black loafers will be very 2024-ish.

A Contemporary Touch To The Classic Denim Skirts

The return of the denim skirts is celebrated in a big way. And, this year, long denim skirts will be ruling everywhere. You can pair one with everything that you usually pair with your denim jeans. In addition, the silhouettes are getting more elevated this time. Sharp pleats, dark denim, and elegant fuller silhouettes will bring a contemporary twist to the staple. From basic tees to knitted tops and denim jackets, you can team them up with a wide range of clothing items. If you wish you can also get creative with your choices, like reaching out for a sublimated top.

Asymmetric Skirts

The asymmetric skirts have a separate fan base and in 2024 the style is going nowhere. In other words, you will see more varieties in the asymmetric style than you have ever seen before. Even if you haven’t joined the fan club yet, you will, soon, such are the collections! Want a more structured take? Try a 90s-style wrap skirt that showcases an uneven hemline. Also, a pinstriped asymmetric skirt can give you the ideal office appearance, particularly when you pair it with a black turtleneck tee and an oversized pinstriped blazer.

Boho-Inspired Wrap-Up Skirts

With the eye-soothing designs of the wrap-up skirts, you can channel your inner boho spirit. There is something different about this style as it gives off a free-spirited vibe. You can expect to see a lot of wrap skirts this year adorned with boho-inspired embroidery, tassels, and prints. To get an effortlessly chic outfit, couple them with fitted tops or loose blouses. The faded look is quite trending these days. For example, a faded green wrap skirt with a puffed sleeve beige top. Typically, with such a combination, the slip-on crocs work as smooth as butter.

Skirts Boho-Led Fringes And Tassels

Love exuding bohemian vibes? Is it your go-to style? Pick skirts with tassel and fringe details. Whether forming a playful trim or adorning the hemline, tassels and fringes bring texture and movement to skirts. Such a trend can give you a fun and carefree look.

So, as you can see, the skirt trends for this year display a great mix of modern creativity and timeless elegance. From refined fabrics to maxi skirts that show off sophistication, the trends of 2024 motivate fashion lovers to express themselves more freely.
