Let’s dive into some fabric and styling ideas for the New City Stroll Wrap Skirt, shall we? As I mentioned earlier, this skirt is incredibly versatile and can easily transition from casual to professional settings. One thing I neglected to mention before is that this pattern comes with a lengthen and shorten line, which should ease any concerns about the skirt’s length. (Also remember that both the model and I are fairly tall, so if it looks slightly shorter on us, it likely won't appear as short on someone of average height!)
To help spark some creativity regarding fabric choices and styling options, here are a few thoughts:

1. **Casual Vibes**: Consider chambray or even a knit jersey for a laid-back look. Pairing this skirt with a sweatshirt gives off a super-relaxed vibe—perfect for a cozy weekend.
2. **Monochrome Layers**: An oversized top paired with the fitted City Stroll Skirt creates a striking monochromatic ensemble. I’m personally inspired by this pairing and plan to recreate it using the Gallery Tunic and the City Stroll skirt.
3. **Boxy Tops**: Boxier, cropped tops also pair beautifully with this skirt. Think Maritime top for a similar aesthetic.
4. **Suede Sensation**: Suede is always a favorite of mine, especially in this particular shade. Don’t overlook ultrasuede—it’s come a long way since its '70s heyday and is surprisingly easy to sew. Plus, no need to worry about finishing seams or hems!
5. **Summer Red Linen**: Bright red, perhaps in a summery linen fabric? This color looks stunning when paired with an oversized white shirt and strappy heels.
6. **Bold Blue**: Bright blue is another excellent choice for this pattern. It adds a pop of color that feels modern yet timeless.
7. **Winter Warmth**: For cooler seasons, consider a heavier fabric like double-faced cotton. Last winter, I made one in this material, and it was both stylish and incredibly cozy.
8. **Oversized Tops Again**: Notice how the skirt still makes a statement peeking out from under an oversized top? This is such a chic and effortless look.
9. **Textured Elegance**: Combining textures, like a rib-knit sweater with a quilted or jacquard skirt, adds depth and interest to your outfit.
10. **Curvy Confidence**: This skirt works beautifully for curvy figures too! Its design flatters different body types effortlessly.
11. **Heels & Belts**: Heeled shoes paired with a belt elevate the look significantly. I adore this combination for its polished appearance.
12. **Office Ready**: A practical twill fabric paired with a button-down shirt transforms this skirt into an office-appropriate option.
13. **Evening Glam**: Drapey tops with strappy heels lend themselves perfectly to evening events or cocktail parties. Personally, I prefer this approach over traditional cocktail dresses—it’s sophisticated without being overly formal.
14. **Layered Styling**: Imagine layering a Lisette moto jacket over a Maritime top with the City Stroll Wrap Skirt. Doesn’t that sound amazing?
15. **Casual Meets Dressy**: Garance styled a metallic skirt with a cozy v-neck sweater, blending casual and dressy elements seamlessly—a look I absolutely adore.

And here are a few additional ideas for you:
I absolutely love the dusty peach linen used in this skirt, but the bow detail is equally impressive. Adding a bow to the City Stroll pattern could create a similar, eye-catching effect.

Adding a ruffle to the hem could also enhance the skirt’s charm. Using the hem facing makes it straightforward, and following tutorials like the one for adding a ruffle to the Class Picnic Shorts can guide you through the process.

The hem facing offers endless creative opportunities. For instance, you could flip it outward instead of inward or use a contrasting color. Directional stripes can create a dynamic visual impact.
