If the denim midi was the standout skirt of summer, then watch its corduroy cousin steal the limelight this autumn. Versatile and flattering, this skirt will slot seamlessly into your existing wardrobe as well as presenting endless new styling opportunities.
’70s nostalgia
Isn’t it funny when – without you knowing – a fashion trend starts to take over your wardrobe? Our favourite Instagrammers have ditched the jeans and combats and are outfit-building with the cord midi skirt. Try styling it with a nod to the ’70s by adding a striped sweater (half tucked, of course) and knee-high boots: the perfect outfit for a day at the office or meeting friends for lunch.

Day to night
As well as providing endless outfit options for the day, the cord skirt is the perfect piece to play dress up. A new, darker colour palette is much easier to wear in the British climate. Look for highly pigmented neutrals such as inky blue or deep chocolate for a look that’s more grown up and expensive looking. I’ve added a touch of nighttime glamour with this pretty cutwork lace blouse topped off with the go-anywhere cream women’s Crombie coat. Finish off the look with a dash of sparkle in your accessories.

Urban chic
Wondering how to wear a cord skirt? We’ve got you covered. In a heavier-weight fabric, the cord midi skirt helps define the waist, while its gentle flare skims over hips and bums to keep it universally flattering. Just remember to keep your top half neat: big, baggy layers are a no-no. When the days get cooler and you want to add a jacket, remember to keep it close-fitting, like this denim number. It works just as well with a biker jacket, too, or go longer with a lightweight trench.
