Okay, so I’ve been seeing this “skirt and combat boots” trend everywhere, and I finally decided to give it a shot. I’m not gonna lie, I was a little hesitant at first. I’m more of a jeans and sneakers kind of girl, but I wanted to step outside my comfort zone. So, here’s how it went down.
The Hunt for the Perfect Pieces
First things first, I needed a skirt. I didn’t want anything too fancy, just something casual and flowy. I ended up raiding my closet. I found a simple, black, A-line skirt that hits just above the knee. It’s nothing special, but it does the job.
Next up, the boots. I already owned a pair of classic black combat boots. I’ve had them for years, and they’re super comfy and worn-in, which I think adds to the look.

Putting It All Together
So, I threw on the skirt and the boots. My first thought was “Hmm, this is different.” It felt a little weird at first, mixing something girly like a skirt with something more rugged like combat boots.
I decided to add a plain white t-shirt. Nothing fancy, just a basic tee. I tucked it in to give it a little more shape. I also tried on a denim jacket. It added a cool, casual vibe.
- step1: Put on the skirt.
- step2: Put on the combat boots.
- step3: Choose a top (I went with a white t-shirt).
- step4: Tuck in the shirt (optional, but I liked it).
- step5: Add a jacket or other layers (I used a denim jacket).
The Verdict
Honestly, I was surprised by how much I liked it! It’s definitely a different look for me, but in a good way. It’s comfortable, a little edgy, and perfect for a casual day out. I walked around in it all day, and I felt pretty good. I even got a few compliments!
I think the key is to keep it simple. Don’t overthink it. Just find a skirt you like, grab your favorite combat boots, and throw on a basic top. You might be surprised by how much you end up liking it!
