The right dress skirt can get you through a variety of different occasions, whether it be for at the office or a night out. Dress skirts can be fashioned out of many different materials including polyester-blends, linen and silk.

A more business-oriented skirt for daytime is usually in boardroom appropriate colors including the smart looking navy, grey and black. A dress skirt can be paired with a beautiful embroidered top or blouse, with a blazer over it to create a business look. It can also be paired with a cute shirt and cardigan for less formal occasions. Some dress skirts are more detailed and intricate for special occasions. A very hot trend right now is the peplum look which requires the right shape and fit skirt to match.  Skirts that come just above the knee make a great ensemble piece for a peplum tank, suit jacket or even basic t-shirt.

A great designer for women’s formal wear with a bit of an edge is Victoria Beckham. These skirts are immaculately tailored and constructed. Skirts in Victoria Beckham’s line retail at $400 and above, but more inexpensive versions can be found  online.
