Long Story: 9 Skirts As Good As Pants This Winter

Just as quickly as we could unpack our puffer jackets and create a solid watch list on Netflix, winter reared its cold, biting head. If you're not committed to spending its entirety rugged up in your pyjamas, then you may face a familiar conundrum when leaving the house: what do I wear??

We want to be warm, comfortable, relatively put-together, as well as ready for the snap changes in weather that we're so used to in Australia. Though we'd never speak ill of denim or trousers, sometimes it's nice to have more options, especially when the sun's still out and let's face it, jeans aren't exactly known for their snugness.

What we're seeing more of on our feeds and on runways, is the solution to our limited styling: cold weather-appropriate skirts that don't let the wind in and open up our wardrobe options.

Swap out the silky slip numbers you wore to death in summer for a thicker option that you can easily wear from the office to drinks to just running errands.

Ahead, nine midi and maxi skirts that can easily replace your pants when the jean fatigue hits this winter.
