Burgundy Midi Skirts Are the Fall Staple That Takes You From Day to Night—and I’m All for This Pleated Style From Mango

Mango Pleated Panelled dress

It's officially autumn (can you believe Halloween is around the corner?), which means we're now giving our wardrobe a major refresh. As we update our outfits for the new season, we're looking for pieces of clothing that are both fashionable and practical, while balancing style and warmth. Now, luckily, there is a majorly trending item that solves so many styling dilemmas in one: the burgundy midi skirt.

If you're looking to dip your toe into the trend, Mango has its own take on the style: a pleated, burgundy midi skirt that’s so chic and has so much movement. We can see the skirt working well over a pair of knee-high boots and paired with a white tee and scarf for when the weather gets nippy.

If you need further convincing that you need a burgundy midi skirt in your life, it's worth noting that recently, Meghan Markle stepped out in a stunning burgundy midi skirt and matching top-and-coat combo. Victoria Beckham has also hopped on the trend for ankle-skimming burgundy styles, with a long-line silk dress. See, this trend has serious A-list credentials!

Given that burgundy has emerged as the it shade of the season, with burgundy tops, burgundy jackets...burgundy everything hitting the shops. With that in mind, color blocking and styling an all-burgundy outfit is a bold and on-trend option.

If you’re interested in something more subtle, try styling for daytime with gray, black, navy, or brown shades and switch up the long-line silhouette with cropped jumpers and chunky shoes. This style also works for evening; just slip on a strappy top and a pair of kitten heels or heeled boots, and an oversized clutch. Perfection!
