As the temperatures drop, my interest in cosy clothes rises—and I’m not the only one. The knitted skirt is the tried-and-tested (and influencer-approved) wardrobe staple that returns year after year, and for good reason. It’s one of the most versatile pieces you can have in your autumn/winter wardrobe, seamlessly going from work to weekends with just a few simple styling tweaks. On your busiest day, you know that your trusty knitted skirt will ensure you look put-together and polished, not to mention warm.

With their soft textures and rich colour palettes, knitted skirts can act as wardrobe chameleons that shape-shift to fit your needs. A cream knitted skirt can look casual and comfy if paired with trainers and a slouchy jumper, but add this season’s trending knee-high boots and a floor-sweeping coat and you’ve upgraded to a seriously sleek outfit.
Another plus—a knitted skirt doesn’t have to be expensive to look elevated. This season, high street favourites like Mango and H&M have nailed the quiet luxury trend with their understated versions, and when styled with a bouclé jacket or blazer, they’re sure to look more costly than their pricetag.
