We’ll let you in on a little secret: Statement skirts are the ultimate cheat code to looking and feeling perfectly put-together. Whether it’s a bespoke pattern or textural contrast, a unique piece is an easy building block that keeps your winter ensembles inspired. (This way, you’ll look incredible both bundled up in outerwear and after you reach your destination.) From dynamic draping to visually striking silhouettes, we’ve gathered the best statement skirt outfits from brands, creators, celebrities, and more. Ahead, discover 10 ways to style, wear, and rewear a statement skirt this winter.

Mix-and-match textures, like velvet and fringe, create a visual contrast with relatively low effort. If you’re anything like creator Izzi, you’d style it with a pop of red and pattern play. We first spotted this “bedroom boho” fringe and flair on spring 2025 runways—and honestly, we haven’t stopped thinking about it since.

Cold weather is prime time to go back to the basics. A floor-grazing gingham skirt is certainly eye-catching, but creator Abby Bible leans into the “English countryside” aesthetic with a handful of other preppy-yet-practical staples. A plush, Gilmore Girls-esque sweater and trench keep you cozy while letting the skirt shine through cloudy winter days.

Sequins and Lace

Of course, we couldn’t forget the perennially pleasing sequin skirt. Channel the siren vibes of last summer with a dazzling teal and silver skirt, but ground it in a black blazer and wine-colored tall boots. Choose a range of textures—like lace, leather, and appliqués—to make a loud fashion moment feel cohesive.

Bohemian Ruffles

We’re still clinging onto the nostalgic sophistication of this summer’s bohemian trend, and these transitional pieces help you rewear that free-spirited skirt. Take a page out of Tracee Ellis Ross’s book and pair a ruffled skirt with cold-weather favorites, like thigh-high boots and a gorgeous olive jacket. (No, not that one.) The earthy color combo keeps the boho spirit alive while also making things seasonally appropriate.

Tailored ’80s Maximalism

More, more, more: After years of minimalism inspired by mainstream ‘90s trends, the punchy opulence of the ‘80s has returned. That means shoulder pads, dopamine-soaked color palettes, brooches, and of course, an interesting skirt or two. This herringbone mini fits immaculately with a coordinating jacket and glossy black accessories.

Lounge-Like Knits

Cashmere-like knits are having a moment for fall, and this matchy-matchy set from Sandy Liang perfectly encapsulates the fine, soft texture. While this one’s the quietest skirt of the bunch, we’re nonetheless pleased with its eye-catching texture and true nonchalance. After all, a blasé attitude can serve as a statement of its own.

Swap the basic black mini for a powder-pink piece, perhaps in an activewear fabric. It’s especially chic (and on-trend) when combined with brown accent pieces and an east-west handbag. With this combo, style meets comfort and casual cool.

Miu Miu brought the khaki pleated skirt back into the zeitgeist in recent years, firmly solidifying it as a cool-girl staple. While it’s fairly humble by itself, you can transform this piece into a retro, ’70s-inspired statement with a striped tee, sweet scrunchie, and deep red ballet flats.

Go ahead, indulge your inner child: A mix of grown-up staples and chic naïveté is at the forefront of this season’s trendiest styles, winter statement skirts included. Frolicker-in-chief Lisa Says Gah starts with a grid pleated skirt, then pairs it with a graceful sweater and “prep school” pin. It’s simple and sweet, with a bit of a playful mismatch.
