A Revived Skirt Trend Makes a Chic Comeback in 2025

As with any returning trend back with a vengeance, there are a few styling tips to remember to keep it modern and fresh. For the ombre slip skirt, Jordan Stolch recommends, “Avoid pairing it with anything too overtly Y2K, unless you’re intentionally trying to pay homage to that era.” That means you’ll want to steer clear of the butterfly top that came back in 2023 (even if you make it modern). Instead, Stolch exclusively tells us, “Balance the softness of the skirt with something a bit edgier or minimal on top.”

Stolch suggests reaching for structured tank tops, t-shirts, or fitted, ribbed tops. Equally, formfitting bodysuits will not only be flattering, they’ll also make an ombre skirt outfit feel more current and not stuck in the ’10s. “Layer with a boxy blazer, tailored vest, cropped denim jacket, or a classic moto for a modern, edgy look,” Stolch says. “Finish the ensemble off with a small structured shoulder bag and some statement sunglasses or jewelry.”

We also have good news in the footwear department, as almost any shoe can work with this fashion resurgence. Just familiarize yourself with these 4 shoe trends to avoid in 2025 — unless you want to look outdated.
