I'm trying to incorporate some color into my fall winter clothes, so I have a few sweaters that are not black (yay) but what color skirt do I wear them with?
I have a red sweater, a pale blue one , a cream one and a fuschia one. All the sweaters are solid , no patterns.
Any ideas what skirts to match instead of my standard black or dark denim and where to find? Would love ideas of specific skirts if possible.
( I can't wear wool or cashmere bec of allergies, and prefer knee length or a bit above as I find midi makes me look shorter than I am. And I don't prefer pencil or suiting skirts since it's hard to run after kids in those lol)

Agree camel would look nice (one of my favorite fall colors). I was going to suggest cream/winter white. Maybe even the right shade of grey. I also think a plaid or herringbone or houndstooth in neutral tones could work. Style harder to suggest. Maybe if you post pics of the sweaters it would help.

ETA: Here are some ideas for inspiration. I realize not all the right length or fabric, but this is what I'm envisioning with all the colors you described.

Thank you all so much for your ideas now I have a great starting point!
I actually have a black and tan houndstooth skirt but I didn't think it would match with the red or fuschia sweaters?
@stacy_natalie i love a few of the skirts you posted, do you know what brands they are (specifically top left, second to top left and the bottom right)
 
Not sure what postage is like to the US? But this has a lot of the colours you mentioned and pockets. This brand has a lot of knee length a line skirts

I think bottom right is wool I love the top left one too. Not sure which you mean by second to top left - do you mean second row down on left or top row middle?
