One thing I love about this era of fashion is that there’s so much outfit choices to choose from, especially for the younger ladies.
If you’re in your 20s, I’ve brought you another outfit idea that is very old but currently on the uprise in terms of trendiness.
Leggings and skirt are getting some attention, and honestly it feels like a style cheat code. I get the ease of leggings and the charm of a skirt to go with it.
1. Ribbed Knit Cropped Sweater + High-Waisted Ponte Leggings + Brushed-Wool Wrap Mini Skirt + Adidas Samba Sneakers
This outfit feels like a handshake between cozy and cool. The cream ribbed knit cropped sweater feels bright and lively, but the black ponte leggings complements its perfectly.

2. Oversized Cotton Oxford Shirt + Stretch Jersey Leggings + Faux-Leather Pleated Mini Skirt + Chunky Platform Loafers
Okay, this outfit is style taking all the way to the max. It relies on familiar pieces like the oversized Oxford shirt for example, but let’s the style factor do all the work.
The powder blue shirt feels clean and the dark gray leggings quietly support the outfit. Meanwhile, the black faux-leather pleated mini skirt injects personality and movement.
The silver platform loafers are where the magic happens. They shine like little confidence boosters with every step. For women who enjoy experimenting with trends, this outfit offers plenty of fashion excitement.
3. Green Cable-Knit Wool Sweater + Thermal Leggings + Corduroy Button-Front Mini Skirt + Suede Chelsea Boots
The forest green cable knit sweater wraps the look in an air of comfort, while the black thermal leggings just make sense in terms of practicality since we’re heading towards cooler months.
The couduroy skirt is niche because I don’t see it often nowadays, but it’s equally great for winter and fall.

4. Brushed Cashmere Turtleneck + Fleece-Lined Leggings + Satin Slip Midi Skirt + Leather New Balance 550 Sneakers
This outfit might seem like a bit of weird one at first glance, but you need to understand that improvisation is the mother of invention.

6. Fitted Ribbed Knit Top + Seamless Leggings + Boucle Tweed Mini Skirt + Leather Knee-High Riding Boots

The sky blue fine-knit cropped cardigan feels uplifting (mood-wise). The charcoal stretch leggings create balance beneath the lighter shades.
The cream quilted faux-leather skirt adds texture and visual interest. Silver metallic ballet flats sparkle subtly, like jewelry for the feet, completing the outfit with contemporary charm.
