Fall Mini-Skirts
Call us stubborn, but we can't stop—won't stop—wearing our favorite minis! How do you make the warm-weather staple appropriate for chillier temps? Take a cue from fashion-forward celebs who've mastered the art of layering—on top of mixing and matching heavy-weight textures with muted colors. If frostbite feels like a real concern, you could throw a pair of leggings under your skirt of choice—or take your look up a notch with either thick thigh-high socks or boots. Keep clicking for cold weather-ready inspiration.
Beyoncé
Bey may seem top heavy in the mock-neck sweater and thick graphic jacket, but the oxblood leather mini and coordinating bag draws the eyes down (to those perfect legs, no less). Instead of faux leather in your basic black, opt for a mini in autumn-perfect colors, like burgundy, olive or browns, for a much more dynamic look.

Miranda Kerr
If you're going for an ultra-feminine skirt silhouette with delicate design details like pleating, perforations or lace, balance the dainty with sturdier, edgier counterparts. For instance, the model mixes combat boots and leather with florals. Top off that flirty skirt with a bulky leather or moto jacket.

Chanel Iman
We realize bandeau tops may be a little impractical in the fall, but with a high-waist skirt paired with a cropped sweater, we're willing to sacrifice a sliver of skin for great fashion. If it gets too cold, you can zip up a printed bomber jacket for a casual but put-together effect.

This model proves you can have fun in a mini—and feel wonderfully snug. Layer an oversize turtleneck and long coat over your mini so that the skirt just peeks through. Opt for long, thigh-high boots so that only a few inches of skin feels the brisk air. With the outfit anchored by a printed mini, keep everything else in solid colors so the attention—although subtle—stays on the skirt.

Alexa Chung
There was no skirt more on-trend this year than the button-down skirt. You can thank stars like Taylor Swift and Alexa for that. To wear this skirt in the colder months, opt for ones in heavier fabrics like leather, velvet, denim and corduroy. This skirt is so versatile that you can pair it with anything and it'll look good. The only thing we would avoid? Button-down shirts—because, well, that's a lot of buttons.
