One versatile black skirt – five ways to wear it
A black skirt is one of those wardrobe items that is incredibly versatile, works for so many different occasions and goes with so many other clothes. A black skirt is a great part of your work wardrobe but can also work for going out, weddings and parties. We love this black fluted hemline skirt with zip fastening. Black is a really slimming colour and can even make you look like you have lost a few pounds. A black skirt is a particularly good way, for those with larger hips, to disguise or divert attention from them, The fluted hem helps to balance out the hips. It is also classic style that looks great on most body shapes and is comfortable and practical to wear.
This beautiful and feminine cerise pink sleeveless floral topwould look amazing with a black skirt for a wedding or any other formal event such as a day at the races. The pin tuck detailing on the top makes it really flattering and the ribbon can be removed or worn depending on whether you would like to cinch it in at the waist.  Add some great accessories like perhaps a feather fascinator, a clutch bag and some heels for a really stylish and on trend outfit. For a slightly cooler day you could also add a shrug or bolero.
This crinkle summer blouse looks great with a black skirt for the perfect smart casual work outfit. It is light and cool and would work perfectly for those days when a full business suit is not required. The delicate embroidery on the blouse gives it a feminine and pretty look and the turned up sleeves a slightly casual feel. This top is really easy to wash and no need to worry about it creasing as it is supposed to be creased.
Black works really well with bold and bright colours for a really eye catching outfit. This cerise jacket looks great when combined with a black skirt for a business suit that is hard to ignore. Perfect for those meetings when you want everyone to know that you mean business. The fitted waist on this jacket also goes perfectly with the fluted hem black skirt for a smooth and streamlined silhouette. All you need to add is a great black handbag and shoes.
When combined with this striped yellow camisole top, the black skirt becomes an elegant outfit that could easily take you from work to an evening out. Perfect for those times when you are not really sure where the day is going to take you and smart enough for the office whilst being just a little dressy. The belt allows you to cinch in at the waist a little giving the camisole some shape. A black clutch and some black heels will finish this outfit perfectly.
For an alternative to the ever popular little black dress, try combining this skirt with a great black top. We love the diamante detail on this top which shows that you are ready to party. This outfit definitely calls for a pair of killer heels and a gorgeous clutch. You could also add some diamante earrings if you really want to sparkle.
