Print skirts that you can wear all year round.

A pink taffeta pleated version at Topshop - that'll do nicely thank you!
And here I am in a couple that I've been wearing this Summer -
A print skirt. Oh HOW I love a print skirt. Why? Because there is one for everyone. They can also work all year round. They offer versatility and can take you from day to night and chances are, you already have a couple of things in your wardrobe that they will work with.
For example - a printed tee. Throw on some trainers and you have the perfect lockdown, easy to wear outfit that's casual but feels like you've made more of an effort than joggers.
The same outfit - with a fitted jacket and ankle boots - puts a slightly smarter twist on the look.
There's always a silk blouse option - add heels and you've got an out out outfit!
Knit in winter with knee high boots and a biker jacket means the skirt will take you into Autumn.
And the most important thing? It will cheer you up. A print that makes you smile will instantly make you feel better and right now - I don't know about anyone else but the whole Groundhog Dayness of this whole scenario means that anything that can bring a bit of joy into my life, can only be a good thing.
Take this one for example.
A take on a classic - perfect for wearing now but will take you happily into the Autumn and then the Winter.
Another animal print - smudged this time AND in petite. I'm always being asked by people if they can wear these sorts of styles if they're of a more diminutive stature and the answer is yes. Absolutely. My top tip would be to choose ones that are made for your proportions (there are lots of great petite ranges around) and ones that aren't too voluminous with swathes of fabric.
This is one that I have and LOVE. I bought this just pre lockdown and didn't realise how useful it would be. And it's now in the sale. You're welcome.
The perfect skirt for all year round. Obviously amazing with the matching blouse - a silk shirt or black knit would work just as well. Black tee or cami and black barely there sandals (or any sandals) are PERFECT for the warmer weather.
LOVE this one from & Other Stories at ASOS (can't find this print online at & Other Stories).
Monochrome again at Topshop. I LOVE this one. Perfect for all those black and white and grey basics you've got in your wardrobe. And ideal again for an all year round look.
Not monochrome but a variation on the theme with a small twist and a hint of red. Super useful ALL year round.
ASOS DESIGN tiered maxi skirt in red polka dot was £20 now £9 (the model is 5ft7 so this will be a midi for those who are tall and maxi on those who are shorter)
And now for some which are perfect if you like the look but are more on the petite side. You don't want something that's going to swamp you with lots of fabric and the asymmetric hem means it's great for those who aren't as tall.
If you're petite, this midi will be a longer length on you, but the dark shade and small polka dot print, along with the ruffle making again the hem asymmetric and there not being huge tiers of fabric - all those things will mean you're able to get the longer look that will work for your height.
Another midi that would absolutely give the maxi look for those who are more petite. There IS more fabric in this one, but it's such a floaty fabric - it wouldn't swamp a smaller frame.
Moving onto the longer, fuller ones.
Another one - shown here with boots to prove these are ideal for the Winter as well.
So that's a lot of print - I've been doing a lot of print all Summer and I suddenly get to a point where it's PRINT OVERLOAD. And I need a break. Which is monochrome. Which is pared back. Which is all things basic and tailored and classic. Coming soon....
