I’ve had requests for more posts on wearing clothes in unique ways and well I gotta say, request or not, I was going to do them anyways! They’re a favorite of mine to do because well, it’s fun, but more importantly, I love to inspire people with the possibilities in their own wardrobe. If you’re feeling bored with your pieces, this post will show you different ways to wear that skirt that’s hiding in your wardrobe. It’s a good idea to shop there first before going out and buying something new!
8 Different Ways to Wear a Skirt
This is the skirt that I’m styling in different ways! For these outfit ideas, I think a knee high a-line skirt would work best.
1. skirt worn with sneakers
Starting with a simple look first, because I love how a skirt can easily be dressed down for weekend errands or nights off when paired with sneakers, cardigans, and simple denim shirts!

2. skirt worn with faux fur
Weekend errands to holiday party or night out on the town! Black tights elevate your look (and make your legs look super long!) and touches like faux fur and statement sunglasses give this skirt the edge that’s needed.
3. skirt worn as a tunic
Now the skirt becomes a tunic! When you belt it, it defines your waist and makes this look more intentional and structured.
4. skirt worn over jeans
It’s casual, funky, and unique. By pairing a cute skirt with street style pieces, it gives off really fresh vibes. And hey, now you can wear all your skirts in the winter!
5. skirt worn over a dress
This look is different, I’ll admit. But in the words of my husband, it’s “weirdly cool.” It’s fun to push the boundaries of style every once in a while. I think this type of look works best when the skirt is worn over a bodycon dress.
6. skirt over dress + a blazer
When adding a blazer over the look above, it adds another layer which I think makes this outfit look very NYC runway!
7. skirt layered over a dress
Skirt over a long dress not your thing? No worries. This look is an alternate way to try that style out. By layering it over a short, tight dress it just looks like an extension of your dress!
8. skirt worn as a top
This makes a super cute spring/early fall look! If your skirt is extra flouncy and you’re afraid of weird bulging in the front, just tuck it in all the way in the back and when you throw a cardigan on top you can’t even tell!
I hope you got some new inspo today! Any certain piece you want to see me style next?
Wow you are so creative with this one particular skirt and I would have never come up with this idea myself! Love how you styled it in different ways! So cute! ❤️
Aw you are so sweet! Thank you!
You are so cute! I would never have thought to pull the skirt up like a tube top!
Aw thanks Ashley! It’s fun to get creative!
I never really think about skirts as layering pieces, but I really love what you did with it. So cute!
Thanks, Jennifer! Skirts usually aren’t layering pieces so that’s what makes it so fun to be different!
Love all of these unique ways to style and layer it! My favorite one is when you used the skirt as a top! So cute.

I liked that one too! Very wearable for day to day life.
Wow! I love all the ways that you styled this skirt! The layering of it over the dress is so chic!
I’m really glad you liked it, Nataly!
I’m pretty sure you’re the only human in existence that could wear a skirt as a top or layered over a top or dress and look THIS.DANG.GOOD. Like seriously? I feel like I’d be a total fool, but you pull it off! You’re giving me the inspiration to at least try it out though. Love how you get so creative!
Aww Stephanie you are the sweetest haha! And you are not giving yourself enough credit!!
The outfit with the fur vest is my favorite! So cute!
Thanks for the feedback, Ashley!
Gotta have creativity to come up with all of these outfits with the same skirt. I love ’em all! I’ve couldn’t ha’ve imagined all of these combinations. Look number two is my favorite!
