How Would You Style This Boho Skirt
Happy Saturday, ladies. It’s time for our weekly chat about how we would style a look. Each week my friend Pam and I share a mannequin we’ve run across to share with you. Out goal is to spark conversation and give you fresh ideas. It’s easy to get into a styling rut…I know I do…so this is a great way to hear what others would do with the same items.
This skirt has a bit of a boho vibe with its Ikat stripe and metallic thread. The fabric is a lightweight cotton. How would you style it? I couldn’t find a link for the sweater, but I can tell you it’s a mid-weight sweater tank.

Now let’s go style Pam’s mannequin on Over 50 Feeling 40.
It looks so much better on you than on the mannequin. These colors are great on you.
I like the shift to asking how people would style it, agree that it’s more positive. I really like that you tried it on exactly as worn on the mannequin to show how it looks on a human. That was a great idea! I liked it on the mannequin and although it looked very nice on you, the colors were a little too monochromatic, especially with light colored hair. I didn’t notice that before.
I really like the purple version of the skirt. Is the skirt see through or needs a slip? It doesn’t seem so, but I wanted to check, I’ve not worn a long slip for some years! Thanks,
It’s fully lined and not see through
I just wanted to say that the photo of you in this outfit for your Sunday posting is great! It looks really nice on you!
I’m a day late, but just got your Sunday email with you in this outfit. I love everything about it and you look fantastic in it. It’s so feminine, light and airy. What size did you try on and how did you find the fit? I think I want to order the skirt and cami! Also, love some of the styling ideas others have posted.
The skirt is a small and the sweater is an XL. The sweater was huge on me but it’s the only one they had left in the store except what the mannequin was wearing. I agree..ladies have come up with some fabulous ideas on this outfit! That’s why I love this new format.
I actually like the outfit as it is. But, just for fun, I’d wear a graphic tee of some kind. I have one in green I’d consider. I have several others that might work. I think I’d also try a horizontal stripe tee under the denim jacket shown.
I rather like what they did on the mannequin. It’s cute. I would probably wear a white crew neck tee shirt under the jacket! And I might even add another layer of a white collared shirt. I love to layer! 🤷♀️
Layering adds such great dimension to an outfit.
I think I would swap out the sweater for a simple tank and pair it with a sage green denim jacket, simple silver jewelry and some simple sandals, a slide or wedge
White v neck tee or linen top, silver belt, silver sandals, silver rings, earrings and silver bracelets, white cross body bag; simple monochrome style.
I think I would try a darker sage green top.
I like that idea.
I have a skirt very nearly the same as this skirt and wear it with a light knit darker sage sweater. I love it. I am trying to change my wardrobe from pants to skirts with leggings because I now need to wear a leg brace and the skirts are more comfortable. I like the waistband on this style because it is not easy to find fitted waistbands that fit comfortably.
This waistband is very comfy.
I would substitute a shell in the same color for the sweater. Sweaters are unfortunately too hot for where I live. The skirt is lined so no need for a slip. The top of the skirt is a little problematic and the top should cover it. The rest is great for a taller thinner woman.
Since the skirt is full, I would style it with a simple tee in a bright color like turquoise. I’d add a cute white or silver sandal or ballet flat.
I would style this skirt with more colour. Would depend on the shade but I think a simple purple top would be fun. Add a white jean jacket, sandals, simple silver jewelry and ready to go. Alternatively, the top could be white or sage and the colour pop could come from the shoes. Red might be too much but I’d be wiling to try it.
It’s close to a sage green color.
I like this skirt! The very wide elastic band does not show on the model. IRL one would pull it down a bit for a slimming look AND she has pockets!
I really like this outfit but think the sweater plus jacket would be too warm with the light cotton skirt. I’d pair it with a simple olive shirt such as a short tee that didn’t need to be tucked in. Nude sandals or wedges, keep the purse as shown, and fun earrings. Sometimes those wide waistbands aren’t comfortable but I love the flow of this skirt so I’d love to try it on. Nice summer outfit!
It’s comfy, I tried it on😁
The wide waistbands that advertise as holding in the tummy area are impossible. This is a smocked waistband and I wonder if that will be better.
I like the skirt and the way its styled though its just a tad too neutral to be interesting. The skirt is not for me but I can see that it would be a great look on someone taller and with the vibe to wear a long skirt. It looks like a versatile piece that would go well with several colors. I would like to see a pop of color from simple tank top. Or swap out the jacket for a traditional blue denim jean jacket. I like the shape of the cross body bag. Again, swapping out the beige for a bright color would add some life to the outfit. I’s suggest simple strappy sandals. There’s enough going on here that the only jewelry I’d add is a pair of earrings and a bracelet or two.
I like this outfit as is! Since I’m petite I would probably have the skirt shortened a bit but there are many things you could do with it. You could wear just about any shoe.
I would style the top pieces with trousers the same / similar color. IMHO, the skirt has way too much material no matter how slim one is. (click through) The look is too monochromatic for me: I’d replace the bag with a black one and add black sandals or maybe a scarf with both the neutral and black tied onto the bag shown.
Now, this I like very much. I love the subtle, almost monochromatic colors. I think the stripe on the skirt would make it work for shorter women. I would wear a shoe with a bit of a heel, maybe metallic or light taupe.
