In case you missed it, the colour trend of the season is without a doubt burgundy. The rich jewel tone can be spotted adorning pretty much everything in your wardrobe, from stylish midi dresses like Mango's design, to chic winter layering options – including outerwear, thanks to New Look's luxe faux fur coat.
Good news, then, that the monochrome dressing look (AKA wearing a single colour from head to toe) is still the best way to create a polished and put-together ensemble. With your top half well and truly covered, both figuratively and literally with the aforementioned must-haves, chances are you're looking out for skirts and trousers in that same berry hue to finish off your ‘fits.
Well, look no further than Next's Burgundy Faux Leather Midi Kilt Skirt.
Also available in black, it's the burgundy colourway that's top of our wish list. Crafted from 100% recycled polyester with a PU coating, the result is a faux leather effect that ticks off another big autumn/winter fashion trend as well as elevating this design above other midi skirts in your wardrobe.
Featuring a pleated kilt-style design and finishing at the perfect mid-calf length, it promises plenty of versatile styling options for both day and night.
We've already mentioned monochrome dressing, but you could also try pairing it with a neutral coloured knit. Make sure to tuck in your top of choice, even a small French tuck just at the front will do, to add definition to your waist and highlight the pretty pleating detail.
Boots, whether knee-high or ankle, will complete the look. Or, try a pair of bejewelled heels if you're dressing up for a festive night out.
