If there’s one article of clothing that doesn’t get enough love in your closet, it’s the cocktail skirt.
Whether it’s because of a certain cut, or that the profusion of sequins makes it unwearable unless after dark, the cocktail skirt is one piece in your wardrobe that costs way too much for way too little wear.
If you think about it, wearing a dressy skirt in the day has its own perks. Namely, you get to glam up a simpler outfit, and should last-minute plans with the girls arise, you’re already prepared to head out after work!
Take your cue from Carrie Bradshaw – who famously wore a Dior ball skirt to a souk – and equip yourself with these 8 tips.

8 Ways To Wear Your Evening Skirts In The Day (Tips)
1. Wear with a neutral-coloured top.

Let your skirt do the talking, and keep your top simple for an office-appropriate look.
2. Go tone-on-tone with your work shirt.

If your skirt features intricate detailing, then minimise distractions by sticking to similar colours in one outfit.
3. Or go all-in with bright hues.

Evening outfits are usually associated with darker colours, so play against the norm with bright pops of colour.
4. A surplus jacket is always a plus.

Throw on a surplus jacket before you head out, and take it off before your dinner date arrives.
5. Sunnies are all you need!

Sometimes, the easiest way to signal a change from a night look to a day look is to pop on your trusty sunglasses.
6. Denim goes a long, long way.

Whether it’s a denim shirt or your husband’s denim jacket, adding a denim piece definitely helps to make your skirt more casual.
7. Pull your socks up!

Socks are a super simple way to put a casual spin on your skirt.
Then come evening, slip out of them and stow them away in your bag.
8. Tuck your t-shirt in.
