Skirt colors
The colors of the new season's skirts are pleasingly diverse. There is a place for mustard, olive, raspberry and pink shades.
The designers did not ignore rich red and fuchsia.
During the cold period, demand for bright yellow, orange and blue tones does not fade. And the undisputed king of autumn-winter collections remains the blue shade.
The pastel range is represented by an abundance of milky shades. And, of course, there were achromatic colors in the form of white and black.

Fabrics and finishing
If we take into account popular materials, famous couturiers apparently do not want to say goodbye to the summer sun, and continue to offer stylish models from light and weightless fabrics.
These can be chiffon skirts, pleated or elegant products made from translucent materials. Of course, such skirts are only appropriate during the velvet season; in the winter cold they are unlikely to keep you warm.
Denim, soft and warm suede, velor, tweed and thick knitwear have also found their place in the galaxy of fashionable fabrics. the best way suitable for the cold autumn-winter period.
Significant place Fashionable leather skirts in various color variations also featured in designer collections. And the most daring fashion creators suggested fur skirts. And here we are not talking about finishing, but about a product made from a single piece of fur.
As for the finishing, no special changes or innovations are expected in terms of decor. Fringe, stripes of fabric, rhinestones, sequins, stones, hand embroidery, applique, flounces, ruffles and contrasting belts.

Pencil Skirts
The practical and versatile style is in no hurry to lose its position on the fashion pedestal. And this is not surprising. After all, a pencil skirt is perfect for various events, both as an invariable attribute of office business fashion, and for all kinds of celebrations, depending on the design. The trend is represented by original models of various lengths and in a wide variety of colors.
A-line, A-line and flared skirts
The largest share in designer collections is occupied by A-line skirts, graceful trapezoidal models and original flared skirts.
Stylish models made from various fabrics will look great in tandem with blouses, shirts and turtlenecks. And the variety of cuts will make it easy to choose a product for both everyday wear and for a holiday.
Below are skirts from the collections Saint Laurent , Alice&Olivia, Carolina Herrera, Chanel And Fausto Puglisi:
Fashionable wrap skirts
Another unconditional trend of the cold season, vying for a leadership position, is fashionable skirts with smell. Gives the smell female image mystery and enigma, and its original design allows you to wear wrap skirts to a variety of events. Stylish models could be seen in designer collections at fashion shows different lengths, textures and shades.
Skirts 2016-2017 with slits
It is impossible to ignore skirts with piquant slits. The trend is represented by a variety of variations, among which every fashionista will be able to choose a model to suit her taste.
Stylists advise girls with slender legs to wear such skirts, but ladies with full hips can also give special charm your image by choosing the right cut line.
Skirts with slits are offered in their collections Altuzarra, Ralph Lauren, David Koma, Nina Ricci and other famous fashion designers and fashion houses:
High-waisted skirts
Elegant retro has been triumphantly marching in the fashion industry for several years now. This season was no exception. High-waisted skirts are back in fashion. Moreover, in a variety of stylistic variations and styles. It can be a classic pencil skirt or a loose skirt, a mini, midi or maxi-length model, sewn in a romantic or grunge style.
The popularity of the style is easy to explain. A high waist is an affordable way to visually narrow your waistline and add a special femininity to your look.
Such skirts could be seen at fashion shows Christian Dior, Mother of Pearl, A.P.C. And Karen Walker.
Even if you feel great in trousers or overalls, fashionable skirts for the fall-winter 2017-2018 season will melt your heart. And one new thing will not do, because it is impossible to choose between an attractive pencil style, a circle skirt and a-line. And if you add here a variety of fabrics - from thick leather to flowing delicate chiffon - then the number of top models will increase significantly.
But we can safely say that the time for androgyny is a thing of the past. It is no longer fashionable to look like a teenager with the appropriate wardrobe and outlook on life. The main criteria are femininity and practicality, without which the wardrobe turns into a huge pile fashionable but meaningless things. More specifically, what skirts will be in fashion in the cold season 2017-2018 - in our review.
Pleating
The primacy of autumn-winter collections - a slender, thin fold - is firmly associated among girls with school uniform. Apparently, this is why girls are in no hurry to introduce pleated fabrics into their wardrobe. But in fact, a thin, unstitched fold looks advantageous on women of any build and fits perfectly into both a strict office look and carefree-romantic looks for walks.
Almost every second fashion house included pleated skirts in their collection and each of them presented their new vision of pleated skirts. For example, Marco de Vincenzo experimented with the arrangement of pleats, Vivienne Tam and Mary Katrantzou combined materials of different colors and textures, while Carolina Herrera and Loewe presented a simple cut pleated skirt.
But the essence does not change - the length below the knee is a key feature of a fashionable pleated skirt.
Basque
Another fashionable, but unfairly forgotten solution is proudly walking down the catwalks again. The gait of a girl in a peplum skirt becomes graceful, and her hips seem more expressive. Only the fall-winter 2017-2018 season has its own rules: the peplum adorns the edge of the hem, and not, as before, the belt of the skirt.
The peplum fits harmoniously not only into evening and everyday looks, but also revives the classic office look. And the soft flounces decorating the hem looked organic even on thick felt and leather skirts.
Flounces, draperies and ruffles
The complexity of the style and overall image is about skirts with draperies and flounces. But in reality, everything is not so complicated: the fashion is for the most laconic and expressive pomp, but not multi-layered and variegated. Therefore, give preference to monochrome skirts made of simple fabrics, but with an original design.
Separately, it is worth highlighting the flounces along the hem of asymmetrical models. Monse, Emilio de la Morena, Versace and several dozen other designers predicted a fashion for grotesqueness, expressiveness and even asceticism - the image should be recognizable and thought out to the smallest detail.
Wrap skirt
The pencil skirt, a-line and straight cut, complemented by an expressive scent, are experiencing another peak in popularity. Classic length and a reasonable amount of decoration make these models absolutely comfortable and practical for everyday wear. Of course, the cut will attract the gaze of all surrounding men, but why not allow yourself a little pampering within the bounds of decency?
The designers did not limit themselves to the smell alone; they also used other details. Slender rows of buttons, bright colors, wide belts - these are just some of the techniques that Bottega Veneta, Salvatore Ferragamo and Vanessa Seward used on their catwalks. Dion Lee's scent took on a slightly different look - it turned out modern and very unusual.
Skirt with slit
Another participant in the fashion hit parade is a seductive side slit. It looks organic on midi and maxi length skirts, exposing exactly as much as is allowed by the rules of decency and common sense. By exposing the models' legs, designers try to show their femininity and beauty, but not vulgarity and promiscuity. Therefore, the styles are as simple as possible, and only soft flounces, ruffles and frills are used as decoration.
Another variation - a front slit - conquered fashion critics and there are even more ordinary spectators than the side one. He was at the shows of Jil Sander, Max Mara, Nicole Miller integral part strict pencil skirts and straight suit-type models. In this case, the incision should be modest and become noticeable only when walking.
And Michael Kors and Diesel Black Gold showed how feminine and sophisticated you can look even in a leather and corduroy skirt if it has a deep slit.
Asymmetry
Particularly popular on fashion shows fall-winter 2017-2018 used asymmetrical skirts with a wrap, peplum or slit. Moreover, the sharper the cut goes to the side and the more the leading edge of the panel is shifted, the better.
Balmain, Jason Wu and Dennis Basso showed great ideas on how to incorporate an asymmetrical high-slit skirt into not only evening but also everyday looks.
And if your soul demands originality, and circumstances allow you to wear something like that, immediately pull out a midi or maxi with a “ragged” hem from your closet. Wide wedges, by the way, perfectly compensate for excess volume in the hips. So skirts in the Dsquared² or Aquilano.Rimondi style are the ideal choice for women with an apple or pear body type.
Transparent skirts
The cold is not a death sentence if you like to wear transparent skirts. Designers have prepared many ideas on how to play with chiffon and organza. The most practical idea is to wear a sheer skirt over a thick sheath or cropped trousers.
But absolutely “naked” models also have the right to life. The length is not above the knee, otherwise there is a risk of turning from a fashionable beauty into a vulgar person. And despite the fact that designers show strict office looks with a transparent skirt, you shouldn’t come to work like this.
Warm skirts
Fashionable things in the autumn-winter season should be practical, and therefore warm. Skirts made of merino, wool, tweed, fur, cashmere best illustrate this rule.
Such things keep you warm in winter and do not deteriorate when worn under outerwear, have high wear resistance and attractiveness. The designers tried to make fashion warm and cozy - exactly what you dreamed of.
High waist
But the must-have for the upcoming season is not mini skirts, but thick skirts middle length. They can be made in classic black matte or shiny color, or in colored leather. The main condition is only genuine leather, no leatherette.
A-line skirt
A laconic and even strict a-line skirt is the key character of almost every second fashion collection. This season it is not recommended to make its cut heavier additional elements, perhaps with a small applique or a simple pattern.
A distinctive feature of trendy A-line skirts will be the high waist. It is able to visually lengthen the figure, neatly outline the hips and reduce the waist - are you still wondering if you need this skirt?
Pencil skirt
Another office dream has been firmly at the top of the fashion charts for five years now. Only this year the pencil skirt changed its appearance - it became looser, more original, and non-standard.
It is now completely acceptable to decorate a pencil skirt with embroidery, feathers, sequins, locks and studs.
Skirt sun
If there is little warmth in the fall, be sure to buy a frivolous circle skirt, half-circle or bell. This style does not force you into a certain style, so you can wear this model with both pumps and rough boots, with a short grunge jacket or a formal coat.
As for the length, designers prefer discreet midi and maxi. Although, there is some rationality in this decision: you can’t walk in the cold in a short, flowing skirt.
Mini skirts
As for the length, designers love to surprise the public with provocative solutions like miniskirts in the cold season. But to look the part in a mini, you need to maintain a balance by combining revealing minis with long jackets, thin sweaters, over the knee boots and stocking boots.
Maxi skirts
The maxi length, while not the most practical, is certainly the most fashionable. Moreover, this year the designers relied on the length not to the floor, but to the ankle. This length will not interfere with walking and is suitable for rainy autumn weather.
Floor-length skirts can be made of leather, velvet, knitwear, silk - there are no restrictions on the density and type of fabric. As, indeed, about color - blue, green, red and even yellow skirts are equally popular along with basic beige, black and gray models. Also in trend are polka dots, checkered patterns, flounces and decorative belts – everything we wrote about above.
Midi skirts
Finally, there is always a compromise option between a provocative mini and an overly restrained maxi - midi length. Skirts below the knee have taken over all fashion capitals, because this length best suits femininity and is suitable for the cold season. I especially remember the colorful ideas from Loewe, Rochas, Max Mara and Daks.
Midi can be worn even to a club, the main thing is to choose a model with an interesting decor (embroidery, print, high waist, cut or wrap) and combine it with suitable fashionable shoes.
Fashionable skirts for the upcoming autumn-winter season 2017-2018 will appeal to both practical young ladies and more original girls. In any case, it will be warm: fashion gurus welcome a little eclecticism, allowing, for example, to combine light skirts with leather jackets and wool cardigans.
In the fashion industry, the desire for androgyny has been replaced by the desire to look feminine. But at the same time, the ornate romance in the outfits is successfully combined with practicality. And this has once again been proven by the latest fashion shows.
The skirts that fashion designers offer us to wear in the autumn-winter season 2017/18 are distinguished not only by the abundance of styles and fabrics used for sewing them, but also by their maximum comfort.
Let's see which skirts will be especially relevant this year, which styles, materials, colors and prints will be in particular demand and which models you should pay attention to when shopping.
Colors 2017/18
As in previous seasons, this autumn-winter period a bright palette of colors gives way to a more restrained range. Classic monochrome tones still remain relevant. They were joined by the traditional shades of autumn - dark blue, wine, rich mustard and red. Also on the podium in various variations one could find products in beige tones.
The prints used when sewing skirts are quite varied, and top lines The fashionable rating is occupied by the usual polka dots and checkered patterns, as well as interesting solutions in the form of crow's feet.
Floral motifs are also in no hurry to leave the podium. Field bouquets, roses, peonies and other vegetation can be found in the autumn-winter collections of many designers.
Material and finishing
Many brands have chosen pleated fabrics this season. Indeed, such a dominance of pleated skirts on the fashion platform has not been seen for quite some time. Moreover, each designer offers his own interpretation of graceful folds. One thing remains the same - the length is slightly below the knee.
Another trend is fashionable leather skirts. The couturiers were not limited in their imagination and offered styles in black and colored leather in various variations.
The appearance of transparent skirts on the catwalk in the autumn-winter period also does not surprise anyone today. After all, designers have learned to exquisitely play up even the finest chiffon and organza. For example, this season you can wear such a skirt over an underskirt or directly over trousers. However, in many collections there is also absolute transparency. Of course, this is an appropriate option only for the velvet season, but not for the office or cool weather. autumn days. For such situations, it is better to look for warmer styles.
Among insulated models, designers offer skirts made of wool, tweed, cashmere and fur, which not only look beautiful, but also optimally perform a warming function.
As for the decor, the first place belongs to traditionally feminine attributes - flounces, numerous draperies and romantic ruffles. At the same time, designers use them so skillfully in decoration that the outfit looks expressive, but at the same time quite laconic.
Other decorative elements include patch pockets, rows of buttons, contrasting inserts and belts in combination with the main ensemble.
Current models
Minimalism in color scheme and finishing materials gave rise to an abundance of styles of fashionable skirts in the fall-winter 2017-2018 season.
On the catwalk you could see both traditional pencil cuts and rather intricate asymmetrical models or playful circle skirts. In a word, the choice is really great. Let's look at the proposed styles in more detail.
High waist
Fashion designers have appreciated the advantage of a high waist in dresses and persistently continue to offer this style. And this season was no exception. Especially current models will be for office everyday life, because they are elegant and go well with business clothes.
During the shows, almost every collection featured an a-line skirt. The advantage of this style is not only its brevity, but also its suitability for girls with any figure. And in combination with a high waist, the skirt will visually reduce the waist and lengthen the legs. Isn't this a reason to go shopping for something new?
Sun
A fairly democratic style for the cold season, which must definitely find a place in women's wardrobe. Indeed, despite the frivolity, the circle skirt is very versatile - it can be worn with both elegant shoes and rough leather boots.
Gaudet
An equally interesting cut of the year-over skirt also turned out to be at the peak of popularity in the autumn-winter season 2017-2018.
An elegant peplum along the hem would be quite appropriate even in an office style, and soft flounces make the look elegant and expressive.
From innovations modern interpretations style - absolute freedom in choosing materials, be it rough leather or thick felt.
Asymmetrical models
Designers offer asymmetrical skirts for lovers of ornate and complex cuts. The models look especially interesting in combination with a peplum, piquant cutouts or a wrap. The couturier provided models for both evening and everyday looks.
Wrap skirt
In the new season, wrap models are served in new interpretation. Designers rely on bright colors, wide belts, accent buttons and piquant cuts. The end result was original and very stylish. In addition, famous stylists consider such skirts to be the most comfortable and practical.
