The last five or so years have seen midis dominate the skirt stakes, manifesting in everything from slinky, ‘90s-inspired slips (remember that sellout Topshop style?) to form-fitted knitted styles (#lockdownlife), but 2022 is set to bring a more eclectic selection of skirt silhouettes to the fore, and we couldn’t be more excited. The S/S 22 runways were awash with a plethora of skirt trends: Nanushka experimented with a throwback maxi-skirt-over-trousers pairing, while Miu Miu opted for preppier pleats that had a definitive school-days spin.

Of course, we also have to acknowledge the storming return of the miniskirt, with Prada sending out silken minis styled with oversized leather biker jackets and COS adding an edge to its black minis with knee-high boots. There’s also a generous offering of statement fabrics to balance out the minimalist offering, and we can’t stop thinking about the high-shine vinyl of Gucci’s new-season kilt and the pea-green hues that dominated Arket’s collaboration with Pia Wallén. Just add a colour-match knit now then swap in a white T-shirt come spring.

So if you’re on the lookout for some new-season skirt inspo, scroll down to see and shop our edit of the styles we expect to be big this year.
