This Skirt Trend Is About To Be Everywhere – But It’s Uniqlo’s Take That I Keep Reaching For

Loved in the nineties, and still to this day, satin skirts have proven time and time again that they're here to stay. The satin skirt is all about elegance, sophistication and understated glamour. Whether swaying gently with each step or catching the light, a satin skirts are incredibly flattering and can be worn all year round - two components of a great investment, if you ask us.

Another sign of satin skirts being a great investment is that they're super easy to style, bound to quickly become the most hard-working piece in your wardrobe. Work event? Satin skirt. Dinner plans? Also satin skirt. Day in the city? You get the gist. Unlike a denim skirt, which is typically reserved for daytime activities, this silky number works for almost any occasion—no overthinking required. So it’s no surprise that a silky midi has gone viral this season, with one standout piece, in particular, making waves from a high street favourite label. Enter: the Uniqlo Satin Skirt.

Made from an extremely soft silk-like satin material, there's no guessing as to why the Uniqlo midi has caught the eye of the fashion pack this year. Available in four different colour ways, the skirt pairs wonderfully with plenty of existing wardrobe staples, so if you're wondering how to style it, we say: take your pick. For spring/summer, you may choose to pair your satin skirt with a light cardigan or a plane white tee, but, if you live somewhere that gets a little cooler in the evenings, you can style it with something heavier, such as a cardigan.

But Uniqlo's number isn't the only flowing satin skirt to make waves amongst the style set. From Arket and Zara to Rixo and Ralph Lauren, there's a satin skirt to suit all budgets. Here are our favourites to shop for summer right now, including the black, light grey and brown iterations of the Uniqlo go-to.
