How to wear your custom-made A-line skirt?

This weekend, La Pièce Paris hosted a Custom Skirt workshop at the Carreau du Temple, the street style and cultural spot of the Marais in Paris.

The 10 participants designed their corduroy trapeze skirts with a metal zipper. They had at their disposal: a custom pattern, a meter of upcycled fabric, an instruction booklet, two half-Michocos, and the advice of two very energetic facilitators.

The motto of the day, "you don't leave without your skirt"! At La Pièce Paris, we opt for an Anglo-Saxon pedagogy. We go for it, we make mistakes, we have fun, and then we learn. Great result.

But once the skirt is made, when and how to wear it with style? Here are some tips from our stylist.

"The trapeze skirt can be worn with or without tights, and with closed shoes like sneakers, derbies, or Doc Martens, or open high-heeled sandals (very high!). For spring, dare to wear visible socks, and wear it with a sweater tucked into the waistband. Finally, the long coat is more appropriate for wearing your short skirt! It will highlight the articulation of your beautiful knees."
