This spring, one of the most interesting trends of the season has become the accent skirt. These are models that immediately attract attention with their color, texture, decor or cut. They can be embroidered with lace, decorated with bows, trimmed with feathers or fringe. Fashion, as you know, is currently experiencing a period of addiction to dopamine and emotions. Designers decided that despite the economic and socio-political circumstances, bright and noticeable things will be in trend, in particular a variety of skirts.

One of the main ambassadors of this brand was Mathieu Blasi. Softening the strict codes of Chanel in the spring-summer 2026 season, the creative director showed an entire collection of accent skirts, which the brand's atelier nicknamed “pina colada”. And if this collection does not add optimism and does not remind us that fashion still knows how to have fun, then the industry has really tempered us too much. Skirts, complex in both texture and cut, also appeared effectively at Bottega Veneta, Diotima, Alaïa, Ulla Johnson and Michael Kors.

At Dior, Jonathan Anderson took the iconic denim miniskirt and stilettos to a new level. His pannier skirts were reminiscent of Marie Antoinette's lavish gowns, inspiring collections by Erdem, Simone Rocha, Christopher John Rogers and Cecilie Bahnsen. Meanwhile, the silk scarf approach, which Michael Ryder turned into a real trend at Celine, also appeared in looks at Conner Ives, Dries Van Noten and Maison Margiela.

How does this bold trend for bright accent skirts translate to real life? At the fall-winter 2026/2027 shows, guests moved from show to show noticeably more cheerfully thanks to the expressive mini, midi and maxi dresses they brought with them to make an impression. Prada skirt collectors invested in vintage models. Londoners swore allegiance to Chopova Lowena kilts with carabiners and got Molly Goddard skirts with ruffles. And Jonathan Anderson fans in Paris created short skirt looks with the confidence that only regular reformer classes give. Even New Yorkers who were fighting against ice also went out in skirts, because in a spectacular knee-length model it is impossible not to feel a zest for life.

The main principle of styling an accent skirt is simple. Cashmere sweaters and comfortable shoes that have been worn for many years create a feeling of ease, as if the look came together by itself. So that it does not resemble a party outfit, does not look too fabulous, or, worst of all, is put together too carefully.
