This Midi-Skirt and Sweater Pairing is the Ideal Fall Outfit

While a sweater is an autumn staple, sometimes there’s a lack of ideas on how to wear it for a more elegant look.

We usually combine warm sweaters with casual pants or jeans in the fall, but they also look great with romantic clothes like light dresses or fluttering skirts.

One of the most fashionable combinations of this season is a cozy sweater with a coordinated, midi length skirt.  It is a pairing based on the principle of contrast, as the sweater is characterized by everyday style and comfort, and the skirt gives the image of romance and emphasizes femininity. 

 

Variations on this combination were recently sported by model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and actress Angelina Jolie. Both women wore grey sweaters and creamy midi-length skirts, with Jolie opting for classic high-heeled shoes and Huntington-Whitely styling her look with gray leather boots. The latter option is, of course, a no-brainer for the cold season.

To recreate the look, search for a straighter silhouette skirt with a length below the knees. Simplicity is key, so choose a sweater that matches the palette of the skirt for an effortless, monochromatic effect.
