    It's no secret I'm a big fan of slip skirts - and dresses for that matter. I lived in them last winter, wearing them with an oversized sweater and boots.

    However this season I fancy switching things up a bit, and lucky for me there are plenty of gorgeous midi skirts that mean that I can upgrade my wardrobe without veering from my usual style too much. Discover more of our favourite seasonal skirts here on the Marie Claire Edit

    The flouncy skirt

    Shop now: PENELOPE Full Circle Khaki Silk Skirt for €580 from Piece of White

    Whilst I love the fitted silhouette of the traditional silk skirt, this autumn/winter I've fallen in love with the flouncy skirt. A bit more 70s, and more twirl-worthy, I'll be wearing it with a white puff sleeve shirt and cowboy boots. This khaki skirt by Piece of White is the right shade for autumn too.

    The pleated skirt

    Shop now: Printed pleated skirt for £49.99 from Mango

    My love for all things 80s doesn't stop at clothes, in fact for the past couple of winters I've invested in one of the essentials at the time: knitted separates. Zara especially has an excellent offering of midi skirts with matching jumpers. I'm going all cream with this one, right down to my slouchy boots. Inspiration: Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct.
