Wear It Wednesdays: Corduroy Skirts

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Hofstra chapter.

This Wear It Wednesday edition is on those trendy button-down corduroy skirts you’ve seen everyone wearing this season. They’re in practically every store you can find and they just might be one of this fall’s greatest style obsessions. Check out some fashion inspiration on how to style these adorable skirts.

 

Halter Tops and Mini Skirts

Enjoy the last few weeks of warm weather while you can and rock your button-down corduroy skirt with a halter or crop top. A tight shirt contrasts great with an A-line skirt. To keep the look appropriate for class or work, keep the amount of stomach showing from your crop top to a minimum. This outfit is easy and casual but very stylish.

 

Keep it Simple

Let your new skirt be the focus of your outfit by pairing it with a plain t-shirt. Incorporate simple jewelry like a choker or a bracelet or two to really complete your look. Stylish sneakers work best with this outfit.

 

Go with Stripes

Corduroy looks great with stripes. This classic combo gives the outfit a laid back feel. For chilly weather, make the shirt a long sleeve and wear tights and you’ve got the perfect outfit for fall.  Wear flats or boots if you’re looking to dress the outfit up a bit or sneakers if you want to look casual.

 

Nothing Screams Fall like Plaid

For the perfect fall OOTD, pair a tan or yellow corduroy skirt with a plaid shirt. This combination looks festive and adorable for the coming chilly months. Add a hat if you’re looking for more accessories and wear booties to complete the look. 

 

Boho Queen

Dressing your corduroy skirt up is easy with a button down shirt and heels. This boho chic look can be achieved with tassel accessories, tousled waves and unique statement jewelry. Heels put a twist on the usual corduroy skirt outfits and take this outfit to a whole new level.

 

Be Tough

If you want a a tough rocker girl vibe, this outfit is for you. Red or black corduroy is edgier than the other colors available. Wear it with a solid black, tight shirt tucked in or a bodysuit. Throw a leather jacket on (great for staying warm) and rock the look with heeled boots. Bonus points for the kickass shades. The key to looking so tough in this outfit is the dark color palette.
