Button-front skirt is the chicest clothing piece at the moment. Perhaps it’s the retro vibe that speaks to the 70’s fashion-obsessed inside me or the fact that almost every fashion brand has produced one within the past year. From classic mini skirts by Balmain with its recognizable front buttons to the below the knee checked midi skirt with transparent buttons by Balenciaga this Fall, the button-front skirt will give you that polished architectural look we all want sometimes. It’s a fact that button-front skirts are not coming in denim fabric anymore; instead, they come in all kinds of materials and textures that gives us the freedom to use them any time of the year.
I love to see a button-front skirt paired with cropped, boxy jackets, tights and booties for Autumn. Take this look from Resort 2019, for instance; it’s an outfit that wherever you go, for sure it’ll get you there standing tall and proud. Wear this quill pinstriped pencil skirt for a fashion-forward work attire or this plaid wool miniskirt for a modern Princes Diana look.
For a Balenciaga look at a more affordable price, this houndstooth midi skirt detailed with three chunky black buttons is a good option. If you are looking for a modern touch, this deconstructed skirt made from asymmetric panels with a row of sculptural buttons through the front will do jus that. And if the idea of wearing a button-front skirt makes you want to go on a safari, you are not in an illusion, take this camel “Scout” midi skirt with you.
