Autumn-winter 2025-2026 brings a variety of skirts into fashion, from classic plaid styles to bold asymmetrical cuts. Ukrainian fashion blogger julia_stylelover explains in detail which skirt styles to consider to stay on trend.
Plaid
Let's start with the classic plaid skirts. This print continues to dominate the fashion scene.
The famous brand Burberry showcased plaid skirts in its shows, while the mid-range brand COS offered an affordable and stylish option that many fashion influencers have already embraced. If you love this print, autumn is the perfect time to add a skirt like this to your wardrobe.

Knit skirts
Knit skirts are another hit of the season, though you should be careful with them. The knit should be thick enough to avoid highlighting figure flaws and prevent it from becoming see-through, revealing your underwear.
They are not only warm but also very comfortable when paired with boots or chunky shoes. This trend allows you to create cozy yet stylish looks.
Long skirts
Maxi-length skirts remain a wardrobe staple. They can be worn both during the day and in the evening, paired with chunky boots or loafers.
Although maxi lengths can be challenging for many, especially if you're under 170 cm, this style looks particularly striking on taller women. Saint Laurent’s shows have proven the popularity of these models.
Leather skirts
Leather skirts are an eternal classic for the colder seasons. They are always relevant, especially when paired with warm sweaters or jackets.
The variety of cuts allows everyone to choose their ideal option, which will harmoniously fit both everyday and evening styles.

50s silhouette and evening styles
Skirts with a 1950s silhouette may have lost some of their former popularity, but they are still on trend. They appeared on recent runways, so fans of retro style can confidently choose this cut.
Equally striking are transparent, lace skirts with sequins, feathers, or rhinestones, which are true works of art. Although these models are often quite expensive, they are perfect for festive occasions as well as bold everyday looks when paired with sweaters or hoodies.
Geometry and asymmetry
A new trend this season is skirts with unconventional geometric cuts and asymmetry. Prada, in particular, presented such models on its runway, which attract attention and add dynamism to an outfit.

Mini skirts should not be forgotten either. They remain in style, especially if they have interesting details, such as school-style inserts.
