Six Work-Appropriate Spring Skirt Trends

Posted by Catherine | Thursday April 23, 201562 comments

With warmer weather comes shorter hemlines, but it’s hard to remain within the work appropriate guidelines when you’re conflicted between the let’s show off my newly waxed legs mindset and this skirt isn’t THAT short, is it? It’s time to look past your plain pencil skirts (and your old mini) hanging in the closet and reach for one of these hot skirt trends for spring.

(1) Gingham

Bring a little fun picnic vibe into your workplace with this year’s hottest pattern. It’s work appropriate, yet still has a cute look that transitions well to after-work cocktails on the patio.

(2) Cross Front Tulip Shapes

We’ve talked about it before, and we love that it’s returning! Just looking at the name of the skirt you can already tell it’s perfect for spring. Longer on the sides with a little cut in the front makes this skirt look great on all figure types. Just keep that slit PG-13 ;)

(3) Athletic Influence: Silk + Sneakers

Gear up and throw on your trainers to sport this comfortable look perfect for Casual Friday but still packs some style.

(4) Fashionable... Skorts?

Remember those mullet-like skorts with the skirt in the front and the shorts in the back? Someone finally got the memo and now the redesigned Skort finally works as a skirt with hidden shorts underneath just like it should have had all along. Perfect for those unpredictable windy days!

(5) Unconventional Animal Prints

Paws off your cheetah and leopard prints, it’s time for some other animals to have the spotlight!

(6) Belted Midi Skirt

The length says schoolmarm, while the waist detail and fabric options lets you make a totally different statement altogether.

Which skirt trend is catching your eye?

Would not call all of these work appropo, but so like most of them!
Particularly, and would be great to know if you know who made these:
Snake Print (bottom R of that photo)
and the gingham ones.
