Skirts are having a major moment this fall. With a new take on prints, silhouettes, fabrics, and pleats there are more styles to choose from than ever before. One shift in the skirt category that we didn't see coming: designers defied the expected and as necklines were brought up, hemlines were brought down. But fear not petite friends, minis have staked their claim the same way skinny jeans have withstood the test time. This list of the Top 10 skirt styles for fall include denim midis, sweeping accordion pleats, and 70’s inspired mid-thigh minis. We’ve rounded up the best of the best in luxe fabrics and rich color palettes because the staff at Rank & Style, along with every style influencer we can think of, is advocating for skirts this season. Now, on to the styling tips! The key to properly styling your skirt this fall is finding the appropriate top and shoe. This season, style stars are casually tucking the front portion of an oversized sweater into the skirt. Make your look even more casual by pairing this duo with sneakers. For a dressier look, we suggest you go for a kitten heel or classic pair of heeled boots. The golden rule is to make your skirt style your own. Now that you're in the know, scroll down to shop the 10 best skirts to wear this fall and open up your wardrobe to a whole new look! Opening image: anthropologie.com

USERS SAID: "This skirt is so out of my comfort zone. (I’m a gingham and stripes kinda girl!) Being 5’1 I worried it was too long but with pumps, it worked great.
