When not one, not two, not even three but four women whose style you admire invest in the same item, you know they're on to a good thing. At least this is the conclusion I drew this week when I saw several fashionable people wearing the same Free People skirt set I had already added to my virtual basket.
My first introduction to the brand's Fischer skirt co-ord came courtesy of Who What Wear UK's Editor-in-Chief, Hannah Almassi, who selected it as one of her outfits for our recent Summer House retreat. I messaged her immediately: "Where did you get that adorable set from?". Two minutes later she had sent me the link accompanied by three simple words: "You need this."
Featuring an A-line midi skirt (which just so happens to be my favourite thing to wear) and a matching strappy crop top, what sets this co-ord apart is its jaunty, nautical-coded striped trim. With cute bow details to the neckline and pockets, the two-piece is pretty and preppy in equal measure.
The perfect look to wear during a heatwave (just like the one we've been treated to this week) and also for packing for a holiday, what I love most about a co-ord is how easy it is to throw on and look put together in. A matching set will always give off an air of class and elegance, and Free People's Fischer skirt co-ord sure does. I also enjoy splitting the items up too to create different outfits—with this set in particular, I know the skirt will work with a bandeau top, linen shirt or simple vest, while I have a hunch the cute crop top will loan itself well to linen trousers, wide-leg jeans, jorts and other skirts.
The set was initially available in navy with white piping however, after its sudden surge in popularity, the brand has since extended its offering with a maroon set also trimmed with white, and a white iteration flanked by red. All of which I love in equal measure.
Now, I keep seeing Free People's Fischer skirt set everywhere I look. Unable to stop thinking about it, I finally followed through with my purchase. With my order now safely on its way, I thought now was the ideal time to share it with you too, before it inevitably sells out.
