Isn\u2019t the no-frills look just a touch frumpy?<\/p>\n<p>Not when you throw in one of the season\u2019s hottest maxi or midi-skirts, a quietly quirky touch \u2014 be that clever accessorising or edgy details \u2014 and an air of confidence that takes no prisoners.<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t going back to the old cliche of the sexy secretary, or even the deliberately dowdy librarian. Shirt plus skirt equals the new power-dressing.<\/p>\n<p>And it\u2019s here to stay.<\/p>\n<p><span>BODICE RIPPER\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/12\/19\/77712149-12740493-image-a-18_1699816581234.jpg\" height=\"910\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Shirt, \u00a399 and top, \u00a399, mintvelvet.com; skirt, \u00a335.99, zara.com; shoes, \u00a379.99, mango. com; earrings, \u00a335, orelia.co.uk<\/p>\n<p>The shirt-and-tie pairing is a huge trend for autumn, but it can look austere, especially in t h e season\u2019s monochrome palettes.<\/p>\n<p>One way to have fun with it is to subvert the stiffness of classic menswear with delicate fabrics \u2014 as with this fluid Mint Velvet shirt, which has a cleverly integrated tie. Team with a feminine corset-like bodice and long skirt for a catwalk-worthy look that is in no way mannish.<\/p>\n<p><span>NIGHTS IN GREEN SATIN<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Remember those slimfit Tom Ford-for-Gucci satin shirts of the 1990s?<\/p>\n<p>Well they\u2019re back, and they\u2019re just as slinky.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/12\/19\/77712147-12740493-image-a-19_1699816591784.jpg\" height=\"929\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Shirt, \u00a329.99, mango. com; roll-neck, \u00a370, daiwear.com; skirt, \u00a379.99, zara.com; earrings, \u00a3290, theysso.com<\/p>\n<p>Instead of pairing this green Mango shirt with a retro trouser suit, try a more punky-preppy look for winter, with a contrasting polo-neck underneath and a full kilt-style skirt, buckles on show.<\/p>\n<p>Throw on some statement gold earrings and you\u2019ll leave no room for doubt that, well, you\u2019re the one wearing the trousers.<\/p>\n<p><span>SHEER PERFECTION\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>When you\u2019re flouncing around in a swooshy satin polkadot skirt, like this Serena Bute beauty, you don\u2019t want look like a flamenco dancer.
