Rhinestones and sequins, glitter and paillettes will all shortly be high on the agenda, but winter isn’t just about party dressing. When it comes to everyday outfits, neutral shades and clean silhouettes remain as essential as they are at any other time of year. One of our favourite options for the season ahead? The classic combo that is the skirt and turtleneck.
Long or midi, leather or tartan, form-fitting or fringed – the options are endless, as some of the below looks illustrate.
A leather skirt and a short-sleeved turtleneck
Whether for a business meeting or a night out on the town, this combination reveals itself to be incredibly versatile – especially if you opt for a maxi variation of the skirt. A pair of pumps and a matching coat – classic, elegant pieces that further elevate the look – and you’re ready for whatever the day throws your way.

Gaia oversized wool-blend coat
A fringed miniskirt and a black turtleneck
You likely already have a black mini in your wardrobe, but it’s the addition of fringe at the skirt’s hem that makes all the difference here, bringing a subtly bohemian mood into the mix. Pair with a contrasting cropped jacket for a preppy touch, bolstered by the addition of socks and loafers.

A wool midi-skirt and a plain turtleneck
If it’s good enough for Mrs Prada, it’s good enough for us. A wool midi-skirt is the sort of piece that can be worn at any time, and in any place or context. Our favourite way to style the timeless piece? Paired with a basic black turtleneck, with a long camel-coloured coat thrown over the top.

A checkered skirt and knitted turtleneck
A plaid miniskirt makes a statement during the colder months, and feels pleasingly festive, too. Pair with a turtleneck that brings out its warm tones and suede boots for added texture.
Suede Kitten Heel Pointed Knee-High Boots
A black leather miniskirt and turtleneck
While we’ve been touting this combo’s day-to-night versatility, if you’re after something that tips more towards the latter end of the scale, a short leather skirt and a black turtleneck will have you covered.
