Black skirt, the biggest fashion houses in the world always give great importance and potential to this piece of clothing. Regardless of shape, material or cut. Whether they are midi, mini, pleated, leather or lace, they never go out of style! Skirts have been worn since prehistoric times as the simplest way to cover the lower body, and most skirts are fitted to the body at the waist or hips and fuller below.
You can pair black skirt with numerous combinations, formal, sporty, and more elegant. Some models of skirts, fit more in certain seasons, ie with special fashion pieces, while some, fit in all seasons. It all depends on the shoes you wear and the coat or jacket. Very popular are also the matching sets, which fit all year round. The sets (or tweed suit), which are best made by, who if not, Chanel. In 1925, Chanel introduced the original idea for the suit at a small show in her salon on Rue de Cambon in Paris. She took inspiration from the sportswear and menswear.
How to wear it
When the black skirt is combined, you have total freedom. Whether you want to look formal, or it’s a daily combination, experiment. Personally, I am someone who has this fashion piece in many variants in my closet. From summer to winter, I wear it all year round. I always follow the rule, which also applies to the black dress: If you do not know what to wear, a black skirt is the solution, and never a mistake.
White shirt
Christian Dior is one of the brands that prefers this look, one that always wins. Talking specifically about this look, then Dior is leading the trend. This is an idea that you can combine with any other brand, whether it is Dior or not. This model of shirts are easy to find, and go perfectly with a long black skirt. Do not forget the accessories, which definitely fit great.

Mini black skirt
The first “use” of he miniskirt dates back to 1963 when it appeared for the very first time on the window of the historic London shop “Bazaar” thanks to Mary Quant. Today, a piece of clothing, which is one of the most worn, is exactly a mini black skirt. In my opinion, I recommend all girls to have at least one pair. It combines with everything, sporty and elegant combination. In a few cases it is wrong, because it is subject to many experiments.

High Waist (and/or under knee) black skirt
My favorite model. Why? Because it best emphasizes the female body, and at the same time does not look vulgar. And what does that mean? You must always be VERY careful about the top, this is the moment when the “shine” of the skirt can be completely lost, and with it your overall look. You can be sexy, but be careful not to make it vulgar, the line is very thin!

Extravagant
Experiment. This is created for those who want to experiment with their own style, but also a great idea for very important and glamorous events. You will never go wrong. These are exactly the fashion combinations that create a sexy look, but you also have an elegant edition. Go for it!
