Skirt or pants: choosing the right bottom
A midi skirt is the most versatile choice for occasions, from garden parties to dinners, and it pairs equally well with a blouse or a fine knit. Wide leg pants bring an easy, flowing line that works for travel and evenings out, while shorts with a drawstring waist suit vacation days and warm weekends.
How to build an outfit from the bottom up
Start with the bottom and choose the top to balance it. A full or tiered skirt looks balanced with a fitted or tucked top, while a slim pleated skirt can take a looser blouse or a peplum. Wide leg pants pair well with a cropped knit or a tailored vest. For more on the wide leg shape, read how to wear wide leg pants. Shop just the skirts in skirts, just the pants in pants, or find a top in blouses.
