Key fashion trends of the season: Full skirts

Corset, £955, skirt, £1,860 The full skirts and bosoms at Louis Vuitton's fall show set the fashion pack's hearts a-fluttering. The Betty Draper effect had reached Paris too, and we fell head over heads for the full skirt silhouette Both from louisvuitton.com Photographer: Jason Hetherington Fashion editors: Jo Jones and Helen Seamons Fashion assistant: Ainsley Towli Hair and makeup: Juliana Sergot Model: Victoria at Models 1 Photograph: Jason Hetherington Beige full skirt, £45 The midi skirt also looks great with a ladylike blouse; we suggest something in chiffon to keep it the right side of prim From warehouse.co.uk Photograph: PR Check skirt, £35 This look works best when it is equal parts librarian and vamp. So match this tweed check with an altogether more foxy top half - black lace, perhaps - and you will really be channelling the Louis Vuitton spirit From next.co.uk Photograph: PR Burgundy full skirt, £45 Great claret-coloured midi from Warehouse. We suggest pairing it with a black leather singlet from Urban Outfitters, a black cashmere cardigan and, of course, leg-lengthening heels From warehouse.co.uk Photograph: PR Skirt, £45 We love this Betty Draperesque full skirt from M&S. It hit stores last week so we hope there are still a few hanging around. It will work well with black wool tights and LK Bennett patent heels From marksandspencer.com Photograph: PR Grey tweed skirt, £45 Next keeps coming up trumps this season. We love this box-pleated check skirt, complete with belt. Wear it with a simple black boat neck jersey and black court shoes From next.co.uk Photograph: PR Leopard-print skirt, £60 Possibly the spiritual home of the full skirt, Laura Ashley has gone for an ultra-modern take with this bold leopard print. For the complete Louis Vuitton look, team with a bustier From lauraashley.com Photograph: PR Patent leather skirt, £950 This may well be our favourite full skirt. The patent leather takes it out of good girl territory and makes it altogether more interesting. We suggest teaming with Zara's Vuitton-inspired fitted cream cableknit short-sleeved sweater to play on the good girl/bad girl image From nicolefarhi.com Photograph: PR Skirt, £159 This leather is butter soft. We currently have this skirt in the fashion cupboard, and often stop to stroke it when passing. Excellent bang for your buck From zara.com Photograph: PR Black ponte skirt, £40 If you are nervous about splashing cash on a patterned midi, opt for failsafe black. This is the best we can find for a budget buy From oasis-stores.com Photograph: PR Wool mid-calf full skirt, £75 This skirt will suit those wanting to create hips rather than those lucky enough to be curvaceous already; fuller hips suit fitted pencil skirts best ASOS White from asos.com Photograph: PR
