Forecasters predict a rather cool spring, so you should not hide warm clothes far away. We are used to combining a sweater with jeans or trousers, and you have a million variations and looks available with this option. But what if we deviate a little from the usual pattern? Let’s figure out how to combine a sweater with a skirt and look stunning!
WINNING SKIRT OUTFITS BY VICTORIA BECKHAM
For now, Victoria Beckham is the most visible figure in the fashion world combining a relaxed top and chic skirts. Since 2018, the British designer has struggled to make casual yet elegant looks a must-have for street style. We are talking about longsleeves and loose denim, wide jumpsuits and, of course, her constant midi skirts and baggy sweaters. Today, her style tips will help us put together some notable looks.
SECRETS OF STYLE
The secret to Victoria Beckham’s sweater and skirt formula is in the silhouette. If you pay attention to her choice, you will notice that the top is always wider than the skirt. The designer prefers oversize sweaters. At the same time, midi or maxi skirts that are paired with a sweater, on the contrary, emphasize the silhouette, even if it is a pleated skirt or a flared skirt. Victoria prefers the skirt to be of the trapeze shape (A-line silhouette) or fall down freely.
COLOR COMBINATIONS
As for the color content of the looks, Beckham uses everything: a single-color set of a jersey sweatshirt and a knitted skirt with a slit that resembles a suit, and a combination of different shades of the same color, as is the case with a beige eco leather skirt and mustard woolen sweater. But most often her looks are a combination of a contrasting top and bottom: a yellow longsleeve and a black midi skirt, a marsala turtleneck and a hot pink flying skirt, a black sweater with rolled-up sleeves and a black and white silk skirt with a slit in front.
ADAPTING DIFFERENT DESIGNS
Beckham combines not only different colors, but also the textures of the top and bottom. Her fashion ideas include pairing an oversize woolen sweater with a pleated eco leather midi skirt, as well as a voluminous knitted longsleeve with a light chiffon or silk skirt. These contrasting combinations create bold, bright and noticeable looks.
Another clue is the emphasis on the waistline. If the sweater is not too voluminous, it can be tucked into a skirt to emphasize the waist and visually lengthen the legs. This is especially true for multi-colored sets: the middle line rises higher making the top airier and the bottom slimmer.
The skirt and sweater combo continues to be an important part of the new Victoria’s aesthetics and contemporary fashion in general. Take advantage of this combination, add high leather boots and eye-catching accessories, and you can surprise others in a new way!
