The A-Line

The A-line skirt has been around for a few seasons and is one of my favourite items from the 90s revival. 

The 90s A-line skirt was worn short and mainly came in denim or corduroy with some cute pastel cotton versions thrown in. It was mainly worn with skinny t-shirts and long sleeve ribbed tops, the A-line got a bit more of a midi shape by the end of the 90s but the 90s short version is the one currently seeing a revival.

Seperates are always so versatile and the A-line skirt is a great item to own that will see you all through the year, layered up with tights, jumpers and boots during the winter months or with a t-shirt and bare legs in the summer. The A-line skirt works with every type of shoe too from the 90s favourite Dr Martens and old school trainers, chunky boots and sandels to this summers big thing (worn with sports socks), sliders, it's an all-rounder, like a pair of jeans. 

My A-line skirt is denim and was bought from Topshop a couple of years ago, you can still get them everywhere, Urban Outfitters has a lot of really cute A-lines at the moment. Wear yours with a striped skinny polo neck on cold days then swap for a swap skinny tee for the summer.

Here's how I wear my denim A-line skirt all year round....No Debutante styleeee.

Summer In The City

The A-line denim skirt is the perfect summer in the city item for this summer. These A-line denim beauties are everywhere, wear yours with a 70s style floral shirt or a (more contemporary) oversized crop top ,with a tucked in vest top in high summer or No Debutante style with a tucked in t-shirt. (None of this wearing your fitted t-shirt over the waist of the skirt please, this is not a flattering look, damn it show of that waist!!).

Here are a few ways I wear my denim A-line skirts and the summer hasn't even kicked in yet, expect more from these beauties over the next months. No I hadn't realised that I kept wearing my yellow Gang of Four t-shirt, this was a random coincidence! I am also wearing a pair of white jelly shoes in the first outfit which were given to me by a work colleague who didn't want them. I will never turn down a pair of free shoes!! Which is your favourite look??

The A Team

I have owned my current A-line skirt for over a year. It's from Topshop and is a little bit too big for me if I'm honest but I just love the cut and the length. Being a fan of A-line skirts I have owned a few of the years, either in mini or midi lengths they have a flattering and retro cut that I love. Whether you are inspired by the late sixties, early seventies or the 90s A-line trend, there are lots of A-line skirts on the high street at the moment and I would definitely recommend checking out thrift shops for midi versions. I am a big fan of the denim A-line skirt but I am loving the St Laurent groupie inspired suede and patchwork versions too. All reputable vintage shops will have a whole rail of these babies available at a price that will match Topshop and Urban Outfitters but will be original 60s and 70s vintage. I would recommend visiting vintage shops to get an original, one off vintage item.

I am loving Alexa Chung's A-line denim mini from her new fashion line and the pale denim 1970s inspired midi version from The White Pepper's Summer 2014 range. Topshop have also launched a great fashion story for their latest collection of 60s / 70s inspired pieces including the denim and suede versions below styled up a treat with snug denim jackets, ankle socks, wedges and long straight retro inspired hair. I love the styling!!!

My outfits show you a few ways I have worn my denim A-line skirt recently. I am  really inspired by the collection of A-line skirt images below so watch this space for more A-line skirt styling and join us in the A-team for more fashion fun!
