I love that the skirts are long for fall/winter this year. This one is menswear inspired:
This is The Trouser Column Midi Skirt from Ann Taylor. Price tag: $139.00. Details: length is 34-1/2 inches, column silhouette for that long lean look, front zip closure with extended hook and bar closure, belt loops, front slash pockets, front vent, and back welt pockets.
This is such a great skirt. If you pick the right colors for your wardrobe, it could be and every day piece. Here is a pattern suggestion:
This is Vogue 2032. It is a lined skirt, semi-fitted through hip, sits 1" below waist, has fly front zipper, side front pockets, back welt pockets, belt loops, front slit and front and back pintuck detail. This is almost perfect for the inspiration photo.
I would do View A. Then, make sure that the length is correct for yourself. The fabric for the pattern looks to be a mid-weight such as gabardine, linens, denim, twill, and sateen. I would guess that a plaid suiting would work as well. Mood Fabrics has some beautiful plaids that would work well for this pattern.
Hope you are inspired to create something wonderful.
Happy Stitching!
