The trouser skirt, the autumn / winter 2022-2023 must-have that doesn’t want labels

Ready to make sure you have at least one in your wardrobe? The trouser skirt is the most original must have of the season

Neither skirt nor trousers, just both! The trouser skirt is undoubtedly the most irreverent and cool must have we need this season: to wear with or without socks, as long as this mild autumn temperature allows it, versatile, elegant and chic, there is no better alternative to highlight even the most original shoes we have purchased, to be ultra feminine like wearing a mini without sacrificing the comfort of trousers. In four words the leader of dreams! And its so unconvetional and anti-conformist story of a garment that does not want labels, representing a breaking point in the history of women's fashion, makes the trouser skirt even more fascinating!

Trouser skirt: the story of a free, dynamic garment, in step with the times

In the trouser skirt there is a bit of the 90s, one more reason why according to the latest trends we better understand its great comeback. But there is not only an aesthetic taste, there is also a research that knows more of concept and philosophy, of those stories that we need and that nourish the style of contemporary fashion.

That of the trouser skirt, an essential minimal garment in the wardrobe of the 90s, is a story of freedom, non-conformism and rebellion that began in 1911 when Paul Poiret thought of the need for women who traveled by bicycle, to dress a delightful and practical garment at the same time. Thus was born the “jupe culotte”, the garment with which women responded to the fall of the ban on wearing trousers.

The revolution, however, comes with the visionary of Elsa Schiaparelli who completes the work begun by Poiret when she made a trouser skirt for the Spanish tennis champion Lilí Álvarez , who wore it in 1931 for a tournament in Wimbledon. At that moment women's fashion takes a step further, welcoming the sporting standards in its collections, which began to search for more comfortable and practical garments for a life that has become increasingly dynamic. Someone shouted the scandal but the revolution had just begun and time at the time in the 60s this garment found the right cultural ferment to dictate trend: Yves Saint Laurent appropriated it by revisiting it and launching the la to make it a classic.

The models for autumn / winter 2022-2023: how to wear them

In the summer we wore it as shorts and Bermuda shorts, now with the autumn-winter the model we can't do without comes just above the ankle, flooded by a storm of flowers in the Jacquemus fashion show, classic, strictly black and pleated on that of Dior : its vocation without labels is thus expressed in the most varied and versatile models.

How do they match? The blazer is a garment that seems particularly appealing to stylists, almost rewriting a new formal look and a new line for the female suit, increasingly determined to abandon classic and strictly tailored allure. But for a casual look, cropped sweaters , cardigans and transparent lurex sweaters.
