37 Cute Outfits with Red Skirts

Red skirts are a show stopper. They draw the eye and punch up any bland outfit with ease. They’re also a versatile closet staple for dressy or casual days.

I think of my red skirts like an accent wall in a show home. This is the skirt I wear when I’m looking to make a statement, without looking too extra.

Some say red doesn’t suit every skin tone. I believe this to be a myth. Any woman can rock a red skirt. It’s all about the color and style you match it with. I’ve gathered a list of my favorite cute outfits with red skirts to get you started. Take a look at these beauties!

1. Classic Red Maxi and White Halter

A high-slit maxi skirt is asking for attention, and that’s just what you’ll get in this sassy number. I love that contrast of true red with a stark white top and chunky crocheted heels. So simple, yet so memorable. Buy this skirt at Lulus.

2. For the Runway Red Skirt and Textured Top

This red satin mini skirt is the perfect mix of elegance and flamboyance. The mid-rise and faux wrap look is emphasized by a black feather bralette. Add strappy black heels and your favorite black wristlet purse for a night on the town. Buy this skirt at Lulus.

3. Sweetheart Vibes Red Midi and Peasant Crop Top

I love a good peasant-style outfit, and this tiered red midi skirt and crop top are killing it. If you’re a fan of red-on-red, this is a must-try. The short balloon sleeves soften the look of the crop top, while the midi elongates the body. Buy this skirt at Lulus.

4. The Sporty Skort

What do you get when you wrap gauzy red fabric into a high-banded mini skirt? A dreamy ruffled number I would wear literally anywhere.

The bubble sleeve crop top with ruching and fluffy feathered heels spice things up. Buy this skirt at Lulus

5. Red Leather Pencil Skirt and Black Jacket

This girl is giving me serious “Buffy the Vampire Slayer Vibes” in her wine red vegan leather pencil skirt. The plain white top and black leather jacket don’t overpower the look. Throw on some barely-there strappy heels and you’re all set.

6. Get Set for Summer High Rise Mini

Normally I steer clear of red and yellow outfits for obvious reasons (hello ketchup and mustard), but I love this! An orangey-yellow camisole accentuates the beachy vibes in her A-line mini. A cheeky side slit and sandals give it a playful look for the summer.

7. Side-slit Ribbed Midi and Matching Top

This skirt is part of a two-piece ensemble but can be mixed and matched with other closet staples. Sometimes a bodycon limits movement, but the long slit in this red midi is perfect for dancing.

8. Twist Front High-Low and White Camisole

I love the way a high-low skirt magically makes a mini skirt appropriate for any event. With a twisted front and asymmetrical back, this unique skirt stands out against a classic white camisole. Buy this skirt at Lulus.

9. Red Tiered Mini and Ruffled Strap Tank

This frilly red mini skirt gives me dance-team and cheerleading vibes in the best way. A cute way to show a little leg while keeping things soft and feminine. The straps on this white tank add just the right amount of frill without being too matchy-matchy.

10. High-Low Maxi Skirt and Peasant Top

The tulip hem on this high-low maxi gives the skirt a flowy cascading appearance I adore. Paired with a floral peasant top the skirt becomes positively feminine. Finish it with strappy heels for a night out, or ballet flats for an afternoon in the city. Buy this skirt at Lulus.

11. Magenta Red Satin Midi and Criss-Cross Halter Crop

This matching magenta ensemble is one of my faves when I want a red carpet feel. The luxe satin midi shimmers above translucent bejeweled heels and the criss-cross halter completes the look. You can also swap the top for a more subtle casual-dress look. Buy this skirt at Lulus

12. Floral Ruched Mini and White-on-White Layers

Red is a bold skirt choice and this floral print softens things without losing that punch of color. The best pairing for a patterned skirt is a solid top, and this girl has gone for white-on-white layers.

A tank and denim jacket turn this ruched mini into a perfectly casual closet staple. Buy this skirt at Lulus.

13. Coral Red Midi Skirt with White Sweetheart-Neck T-shirt

A lightweight textured midi with a slit is great for dressing up on a warm day. The coral red is softer than true red and looks ultra-feminine with a white sweetheart-neck t-shirt. I’d wear this with a solid heel, but she’s rocking these colorful beaded sandals. Buy this skirt at Lulus.

14. Rust Red Floral Skirt with Double Slits and White Halter

This rust red midi skirt is begging for cowboy boots and a field of wildflowers. The floral pattern is softened by a ribbed white halter top and strappy sandals. Ruched double side slits give it a sexy but chaste look. Buy this skirt at Lulus.

15. Dark Red Drawstring Skirt and Nude Halter

This rusty rose drawstring skirt is a life-saver if bright red isn’t your scene. I’m in love with the contrast of the dark red ruched bottom and nude halter top. She’s pairing it with strappy kitten heels for day or night. Buy this skirt at Lulus.

16. Ruffled Red Mini Skort and Bubble Sleeve Crop Top

White and red are a classic pairing. This ruffled mini skort smock-style waist and layered skirt. A solid white crop top with bubble sleeves adds a playful touch. Chunky woven heels and a tasseled clutch give the ensemble a beachy look. Buy this skirt at Pink Lily.
