Spring 2014 Fashion Trend: The Skater Skirt

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

Spring is in the air, collegiettes! Well almost, but the latest and greatest trends for this upcoming season will surely help you smell the roses. The word on the runway: Skirts. This year that’s what it’s all about, and we can’t wait to share the ‘deets’ with you!

While we appreciate any type of skirt, from long, flowy boho skirts to the infamous mini skirt (in moderation!), we’ve fallen for the beloved skater skirt — a hot, new trend that everyone’s trying out! But what we absolutely love is that you can either dress it up or give off a tomboyish feel!

 

 

Trying pairing a skater skirt with some Vans or Converse to give you that edgy look while still giving off a flirty vibe.

Bonus: Florals are so in this time of year, and they’d look even better on your skater skirt! Pair a super adorable floral patterned skirt with a simple white tee, and you’ve got yourself a spring outfit. 

 

 

We also love the knee-high look paired with a skater skirt! It’s something to wear when you test out those first days of spring when it’s cold but certainly not eskimo weather!

Bonus: Playing up the knee-highs could really add something to the outfit! Go for a plain skater skirt and patterned knee-highs, and you’re ready to hit the town!

 

How will you style your skater skirts, collegiettes? Let us know in the comments!
