Bold Femininity
FW22: Skirts
Livetrend has tracked the most trending products in the skirt category across social media. Despite the cold season, vertiginous minis are taking over the urban scenario, with naked legs as bold protagonists of this huge come-back. Minis are interpreted for all kinds of tastes: elegant and preppy, highly feminine and seductive or even sporty in form of edgy quilted models and tennis skirt references. Celebrating women’s bodies is a manifesto deeply connected to such breathtaking hems, but it’s evenly an ode to extra-slim shapes and sculptural draperies. Thus, the bodycon midi skirt emerges as a strong seasonal statement: the fitted silhouette is asking women to foster their self-confidence and helps to escape from the breathe coziness mood of the pandemic to spice-up winter wardrobes. While consumers seem keen on exploring three-dimensional effects with drapes, gathers or pleats and plissé, a wearable connotation remains. Post-pandemic, such a sophisticated edge feels appealing, opposed to the lengthy knitwear momentum of the recent past. With skirts strengthening a desire for special occasions, versatile designs are key to consumers investing into the category. Across e-commerce we can see the skirt category currently accounting for 5% of collections. With 36% mini and 15% midi versions as depicted amongst the most trendy pieces across social media as well.

All-purpose Skirts
As seen above the major skirts to focus on in order to cater best to consumers are mini and midi length products. With a sense for dressiness and elegance, preppy design details and academic influences seem to resonate well with fashionable cohorts. For slimmer shapes it is crucial to keep comfortable materials to make skirts adaptable for dynamic consumer lives. A new commercial product is the returning A-line, which adds a sophisticated and feminine nod to the category, from asymmetric and plissé interpretations to simple signs, the new piece is creating a distinct contemporary effect.
