There’s no better way to get out of a winter rut and stay ahead of the fashion curve right now than by investing in a sleek silk or satin skirt. 

The sumptuously smooth garment feels dressier than your average pair of jeans or pants, but still has enough versatility to be dressed up or down.


It has the perfect casual vibe for daytime or can be worn nighttime. The versatility of the slip skirt is a perfect foundation piece for the spring season. The simple and chic piece, in knee-grazing or maxi length, is a perfectly airy middle ground between the casual attitude of jeans and the femininity of a dress. 

Satin Skirt Outfits

The versatility of satin midi skirt is endless. One can pair the wardrobe staple with a no-frills T-shirt, or a modest cardigan, or a trendy waistcoat. If you are feeling adventurous during the those warm spring days, pair the midi satin skirt with a crop top and an oversized blazer to balance the look. 

For such a comfortable piece, the silk skirt is nicely office-appropriate, too. Choose a black satin skirt for the office with an oversized sweater for a fashion-forward office look.
