Skirts, alongside knitted dresses, are definitely a must-have this fall. From Lisa Yang and Erika Cavallini to Tiger of Sweden and House of Dagmar, you'll find versatile midis, playful minis, and sleek maxi skirts in every collection. Unlike dresses, which are easy to style—just add shoes and accessories—creating the perfect outfit with a skirt requires a bit more thought. Figuring out which tops to wear with skirts for fall is the starting point, and luckily, we've been pondering the same question.

So, whether it's striped shirts with maxi skirts or satin midis with understated knits, we've curated a list of our favorite fall tops for skirts. These looks have been spotted on street stylers and top fashion bloggers, and they're as versatile as they are stylish.

Blazer 

Don't just reserve blazers for work events; they're perfect for casual meetings, too. A blazer is among the most versatile tops to go with skirts in the fall. Whether you like them oversized or cropped, made of wool or corduroy, blazers are a reliable choice for building your seasonal wardrobe. We've chosen the Cropped blazer Sine from Tiger of Sweden as the main element and combined it with the A-lined silk skirt from House of Dagmar. The blazer's sharp silhouette perfectly complements the geometric A-line shape of the skirt.

Sherpa Hoodie

This look is all about the cute texture known as sherpa—a thick, soft synthetic material commonly used in clothing and resembling sheep wool. The Moose Knuckles' Sherpa hoodie Holland showcases this texture, contributing significantly to its fashionable look while providing excellent protection. This hoodie goes perfectly with denim, making the Front-slit denim skirt Tillis its ideal match, which also features a distinctive design.

Denim Jacket

Denim on denim has become a new classic this year. We've seen numerous runway outfits featuring denim jackets, shirts, and tops paired with jeans, shorts, and skirts. This trend has not gone unnoticed by us, as denim remains one of the most popular fabrics for fall. Looking for a safe bet? Try a tonal mix from Agolde—the Oversized denim jacket Charli paired with the Denim maxi skirt Hilla.

Cardigan 

A knitted cardigan is the ultimate fall essential, and the best part is that it goes well with various skirts. Whether it's denim, leather, or knitted, you can pair it with anything from a mini to a maxi skirt, depending on the style of the cardigan. For this particular look, we've chosen the Textured roundneck cardigan by FTC Cashmere, which has a unique, on-trend texture. To complement the cardigan and make it the focal point, we've paired it with the Fine-knit midi skirt Ronja by Lisa Yang. The smooth knit of the skirt balances out the textured top beautifully.

Basic T-Shirt

Layering is a fundamental technique when it comes to fall wardrobes. To layer effectively, follow a key rule—the top layer should always be thicker than the bottom. This is why starting with a basic t-shirt as the base layer is a good idea. For instance, if you want to pair the Reworked Maxi Skirt Circolo from Citizens of Humanity with a shirt and a blazer while also ensuring warmth, an Oversized cotton t-shirt is an excellent choice that can be worn under the blazer by itself as well.

Tube Top

Special occasions call for special outfits! Don't let the weather cramp your style. For a fall celebration look, pair House of Dagmar's famous Sculpted tube top with their Organza maxi skirt. Sculpted forms and sheer fabrics are on trend, so seize the opportunity to incorporate these styles. Worried about staying warm in such a light outfit? A long wool coat is at your service.

Shirt

Let's not overlook the enduring appeal of quiet luxury in the world of fashion. It's a trend that continues to hold its ground, and it's not hard to see why. Embracing this trend means embracing pieces like the Asymmetric Striped Shirt, which exudes an understated elegance reminiscent of old money style. Crafted from fine, lightweight cotton and adorned with a timeless striped pattern, this shirt is a versatile investment that transcends seasons. Pair it with the black Maxi Skirt, and you'll effortlessly channel a sophisticated office siren look.

Highneck Pullover

Cable knit and high neck are a winning combination in current fashion trends, especially in the soft powder color. The Highneck cable-knit pullover from FTC Cashmere is the perfect top for this fall, blending the latest trends with timeless, high-quality cashmere and a versatile fit. Create a striking contrast by pairing this knit with a black Button-detail leather skirt. Although these two pieces may seem to be from different worlds, that's what makes them work together.

Tank Top

The tank top is another versatile piece for layering in the fall, even more adaptable than a tee. It can be worn under a shirt, blazer, cardigan, or even a sweater to add extra warmth. A neutral option, like the Logo-embroidered ribbed top, works perfectly for this purpose. Pair it with the Denim asymmetric skirt and layer on top with a hoodie or a puffer to stay warm in varying weather conditions.

Cashmere Sweater

Fall is a great season to dive into a vast array of cozy knitwear. With pullovers, sweaters, hoodies, and turtlenecks galore, it's tough to find space in the closet, isn't it? To make things easier, opt for something simple and versatile like Lisa Yang's Crewneck cashmere sweater Renske. This piece is designed for a relaxed fit and can be effortlessly styled for a range of looks, from laid-back to more dressy. For instance, pair it with Erika Cavallini's Flannel wrap skirt to add a subtle feminine touch to the roomy top.

Polo

Another great investment for this season is a long-sleeved polo, like the Poloneck long-sleeve top. Crafted from pure wool, this top offers both a stylish look and ample protection for the mild autumn weather. Pair it with the Satin midi skirt for an intriguing blend of wool ribbed knit and smooth satin fabric. The ideal tops and skirts for fall should be well-suited in terms of material, color, and design. And these two certainly fit the bill.
