There’s no question that a skirt that you can wear for day or play is a valuable player in every wardrobe. An interesting skirt can be an antidote for a boring, old top, it can be an elevator of a cheap throwaway trend and it can shift a season-less item into something up-to-date. Regardless of whether you spend a small fortune or pocket change, now is the time to invest in a statement skirt so that you can get started cracking its cost-per-wear algorithm before Autumn gets underway. A special shout out goes to Mango who have managed to make a sequin skirt look acceptable before the watershed and Warehouse who’ve transformed a tricky on-trend print into something you’ll want to wear forever. Drop everything and run before these 16 skirts sell out…
