Being a fashion editor and stylist, I have always been a bit eclectic in my style, loving a bit of maximalism one minute and minimalism the next. I suppose it’s a bit of a rite of passage from my fashion college days when we all competed to be as fashion-forward as possible. As I am an ageism fighter, it’s so important to me to feel seen, and fashion allows me to express myself and allow my inner chameleon to shine bright. That’s why I love a classic piece that can be worn multiple ways, such as this simple yet versatile satin skirt. I can be really creative one minute and then more subdued the next, and a satin skirt will go with anything and can be dressed up or down, looking equally as good with heels as it does with a chunky knit and trainers. It’s definitely my most-worn item of 2021.
THE SKIRT:
Arket Washed Satin Skirt (£59)
A simple white tee and a black blazer work perfectly with a satin skirt. Worn to work or a lunch date with friends, the satin skirt gives the outfit a touch of glam without going overboard. I’ve teamed it with my Prada loafers to elevate an otherwise classic look.
Arket Heavy-Weight T-Shirt (£35)
H&M Oversized Linen-Blend Jacket (£35)
Prada Triangle Logo Plaque Loafers (£750)
A simple black vest and a satin skirt give a simple elegance that’s perfect for a date night or evening out with friends. Add statement jewellery to take it up a notch, or keep it understated with a simple bag like this classic Chanel flap bag.
COS Boat-Neck Vest (£19)
Chanel Small Classic Handbag (£5410)
& Other Stories Chunky Strap Heeled Leather Sandals (£85)
Cashmere and satin, could it be any more luxurious? When it’s cold outside, it’s the cosiest combo. Wear the jumper tucked in with similar-toned boots and a bag for an effortless look.
Uniqlo 100% Cashmere Crew Neck Jumper (£50)
Fuchsia Shaw Brown Baby Quilted Tote Bag (£35)
Sezane Phoenix Boots (£225)
A cool blue linen shirt is a must in the summer and looks great with a satin skirt. I’ve added plain white sneakers and a bumbag worn crossbody for an easy-to-wear “day at the shops” vibe.
H&M Linen-Blend Shirt (£20)
A.P.C. Lucille Tape Logo Waist Bag (£129)
Grenson Sneaker 1 (£210)
Here’s where my maximalism turns up a notch. What better way to make a statement than with a big, chunky custom-made knit! The satin skirt makes the oversized chunkiness of the knit less overpowering, and I’ve added a dainty yellow bag to add a feminine touch.
& Other Stories Voluminous Turtleneck Knit Jumper (£85)
JW Pei Gabbi Bag (£79)
Converse Chuck Taylor All Star 70 Canvas High-Top Sneakers (£70)
