I'm Kate Young and I'm a stylist.

[energetic music]

This is a gray skirt from Antonio Melani,

available at Dillard's.

This is a really nice silhouette for fall.

I love this skirt because it's a wrap skirt,

and it's got a nice, puffy, voluminous look.

It's not super long, which keeps it flattering.

And it can be worn a few ways.

One of my favorite ways

is to wear the skirt like a preppy school girl.

I love the idea of this skirt

with a little v-neck and buttoned down.

It's just fun.

I think it's a really nice cute look.

I definitely think this is for a girl of a certain age.

It's much better for a younger girl

than it is for someone older.

The way to make this really cool

is to wear a great fun high heel shoe.

And make it a little bit sexy and subversive.

[up-tempo percussive music]

Another way to wear it

is a little bit more bohemian.

I love the idea of a full voluminous wool skirt,

with an embroidered blouse.

The blouse untucked over top of the skirt

and a flat shoe.

I think this look is great.

It's really easy, casual.

It's a nice silhouette.

It looks very rich.

I think it's really modern to wear

all the volume and then have a flat shoe.

I really like this look paired with a ballet flat.

'Cause with all the volume

it's nice to see an easy shoe.

This little Gianni Bini flat

is available at Dillard's.

The whole look should have

a very relaxed ease and elegance to it.

The skirt could also be worn with a sparkly top.

This is a black sequin halter top from Dillard's.

And when paired with this skirt,

it gives it a nice evening feel.

It instantly feels like party dress.

And it's really nice to have the sequins with the wool.

It's a little bit unexpected.

It's a really versatile skirt.

It can go from preppy

to casual bohemian chic to evening cocktail.
