Choose the Right Fabric
The key to making a skirt winter-appropriate is to choose the right fabric. Avoid lightweight materials such as silk and instead opt for heavier options like velvet or wool. These will not only provide warmth but also give the outfit a dressy feel appropriate for a wedding. Additionally, choosing a skirt with detailed embellishments such as beading or embroidery will add a festive touch.
Layer with Tights or Leggings
To keep warm, consider layering your skirt with tights or leggings. Choose opaque versions and in shades that complement the skirt. Black, gray, or burgundy are classic options that will work with many colors. For added coziness, opt for fleece-lined versions. If the skirt is floor-length, consider wearing thermal leggings underneath.
Pair with a Festive Top
A winter wedding calls for a dressier top to match the occasion. Opt for a blouse with interesting details such as lace or ruffles or choose a metallic-finish top that will add a festive touch. If you want to wear a crop top or a sleeveless blouse, consider layering a blazer or jacket over it for warmth.
Accessorize with Seasonal Accents
In addition to selecting the right fabric and top, add some seasonal accents to complete the look. Choose a scarf in a complementary color or add a statement necklace to accessorize. Opt for boots or booties with a chunky heel for both style and comfort. Finally, add a clutch or purse in a metallic or jewel-toned shade, which will add some glamour to the outfit.
Consider a Two-Piece Set
If you are unsure about how to style a skirt for a winter wedding, consider choosing a two-piece set. These are coordinated sets with a skirt and matching top, which will take the guesswork out of putting together an outfit. Look for sets with festive details or in a bold color to make an impression at the wedding.
