    Once winter weather settles in, I tend to almost exclusively reach for my favorite leggings and jeans when it comes time to actually leave my apartment. But allow me to make a case for venturing beyond your denim collection and opting for one of these cold-weather-approved skirts instead. Because let’s be honest for a second: It’s nice to get a little dressed up sometimes, even if you’re just running errands. 

    This list covers all of your winter skirt outfit needs. It includes a few knit options that will keep your legs warm on your daily commute, a few mini picks that deserve to be worn to your next holiday party, and some simple wardrobe-staple-type options that can (and should!) be added to your daily outfit rotation this season. Whatever your reason for buying a new skirt this season may be, keep scrolling to check out a few of the best winter skirts, bar none.
