You’re shopping for new additions to your wardrobe and you come across a stunning skirt only to ask the dreaded question… how would I even wear this? If you don’t buy it, you’re missing out on a wardrobe staple. If you do, it probably sits in your closet because you don't know how to style it. First, I think it’s important to note that the skirt needs to fit you right. If you buy a skirt that’s way too short, you probably won’t wear it so definitely be careful! The good rules I follow is that

1. The most you’ll ever like an item is before you’ve purchased it.
2. Remember that when in doubt, a monochrome look delivers. 
3. Personally I love pairing a denim mini skirt with an extremely comfortable skims boyfriend shirt like I’ve done here.

I digress…but here are 3 effective ways to pair a silk mini skirt and elevate your look.

3 WAYS TO STYLE A SILK MINI SKIRT

1. Oversized Sweaters for Dimension

• Pairing a silk mini skirt with an oversized sweater adds dimension to your outfit. The contrast between the flowy skirt and the bulkiness of the sweater creates a balanced silhouette that is both chic and comfortable.

2. Structured Layers for Balance

• Opt for a structured sweater or blazer to counterbalance the fluidity of the silk skirt. This combination not only enhances your shape but also adds sophistication to your ensemble.

3. Monochrome Cardigans

• A cardigan in a shade that matches the lightness of your skirt can create a cohesive look. Monochrome outfits are always in style, but ensure that the tones are similar; for instance, pairing an off-white with stark white may not be as visually appealing.

THE GO-TO SHOE

For the busy GALBI girl on the go, finding versatile shoes is essential. I love slip-on styles from The Row or dupes from Jeffrey Campbell. These shoes are perfect to wear working at a coffee shop or running errands. They’re comfortable, require no socks, and add an effortless touch to any outfit. 

TIMELESS SHOPPING TIPS: EMBRACE MATCHING SETS

Matching sets are a staple in my wardrobe! Last summer, I frequently wore a white top paired with white cotton or linen pants. These sets can be found at various price points—my top was from Target, while my bottoms were from eBay and the other was thrifted in Notting Hill, London.

• Focus on Fit: The key to loving an outfit is how it fits you. Always try items in-store; if you don’t love it there, chances are you won’t love it at home either.
