October is the month of skirts with tights, jumpers peeking under jackets, and layers that add up without squeezing. Magazines like Elle have filled their pages with skirt + knit looks: proportion, texture and a hit of colour.

At Smile we build it with real catalogue pieces: skirts from Skirts and jumpers from knitwear, many in NEW IN. Think black Minsk with an embroidered jumper, or multicolour Hamburgo with a quieter knit.

The base formula: skirt + jumper

• Structured skirt (pencil, pleated, A-line) + fine or mid-weight jumper.
• Printed skirt → plain jumper; plain skirt → floral, embroidered or bold knit (Oporto, Lille, Florencia).
• Opaque or semi-opaque tights unify the leg.

Layers and textures

• Short knit jacket or open cardigan over the jumper — two knits, two textures.
• Short coat or light trench in a neutral; colour stays in Smile skirt or jumper.
• Belt on skirt or knit layer to mark the waist.

For knit layers see Jackets and knitwear.

Three outfits to copy

1. Black skirt + green jumper

Minsk black + Oporto green: clean contrast, very street.

2. Printed skirt + plain jumper

Paris floral or Hamburgo multicolour + Lille white or blue.

3. Midi skirt + embroidered jumper + third layer

Florencia or Zurich Flor + plain midi + open neutral knit jacket.
