hi skirt person/fashion femme here!! i havent gotten anything from witchyvamp but i do know a lot of helpful stuff on hand about skirt things since i wear them a lot in my more put together fits :-3.

i recomend, like witchvamp said, to wear them with t-shirts and any top with the skirt. you can really wear them for any occasion, casual or formal, and they're especially helpful for warmer climates. the tip for wearing them in colder climates is just wearing them over sweatpants, if you're okay with that textural thing of the waistbands!!

however, some tips on styling them are:

-consider whether or not you wanna go for a flowy look (long, elegant stuff), or a more boxed in look (basically just not flowy stuff, stuff that doesnt drag or whatnot).

-whether its a "tuck your shirt in" outfit or not

-matching the skirt colors. try to get skirts that match with stuff pre existing in your wardrobe, especially if its a patterned skirt. if you have warm colors, get a warm purple skirt or a red one, if you have cool colors vice versa. this one's optional but it helps to think about how stuff you have will match :-]

and some outfit combos i personally have done with skirts!!

-button up, vest/suspenders, tucked in skirt. if its a miniskirt TOTALLY try wearing black tights with black boots if you have either. thats a me thing but omg it looks so cute.

-turtleneck, tucked into skirt. for colder situations you can throw over a flannel and wear sweatpants.

-black t shirt and just a skirt. again, this is a 'default one' but good god its so cute. especialyl since in most cases you can accsesorise to give the outfit a bit of a pop. defintely ol reliable.

and some particular things i'd recomend from the witchvamp catalog, a pastel one and a gothy one to cover two bases. again, i unfortunately haven't bought from this seller, but i have a vivid imagination ok. its called being a fashionista.

(id: two pictures of a slimmer person wearing simialr skirts, with a pink, orange, white, and black flowery design. One is of a maxi skirt, that shows off more of the design, and one is of a skater skirt, which shows a smaller design. end id)

(flower pop maxi and skater) both of these i'd recomend with a white turtleneck, high heeled boots and long necklaces!! bracelets are optional but if you wish, they're a must. if you use analagous colors with your jewelery, you'll have a fit with a lot of harmony that just kinda fits!! however you can totally go for a pink top, or even just make the rest of your fit white or black with no extra accesories!! however, for the mini skirt i'd recomend all black, as the blacks are more obvious what with the shorter skirt design.

(id: first image is of a slim model wearing a knee-length skirt. The skirt is made of a shiny material, with the design being compeltely black save for bright green flames with a slight ombre. the describer thinks a good way to describe them is stageplay flames. The second is the same person, but wearing a skater skirt with different kinds of flowers on it. end id.)

(jealous flame midi and trecharous garden skater) i had to choose two of these bc they both show two kinds of gothy that i personally wear a ton. First i'd recomend with something similar to what the model is wearing, as it gives a lot of focus to the skirt as a main source of color. If you want even more green in the fit, you can totally go for some green pieces of jewelery, like chunky chains. The second, i'd recomend some browns and darker greens. A fit idea i have off the top of my head would be a green cardigan white button up combo, chunky shoes, and tights with designs on them.

again all of this kinda boils down to personal opinion, what you wanna do with your outfits, and how you feel comfortable in skirts. if you prefer having a more mixed wardrobe, or just anything. owning a skirt is a lot like owning a shirt, funny enough. its all up to personal preference and how you wanna wear and match that shirt!! i hope this was a bit helpful at least :-]

what do you recommend to wear with your skirts? i want to buy one so baddd (especially the treacherous garden skater 👀👀) but i havent worn a skirt in ages, i dont know what goes with them or how to style them! and what occasions can i wear them for?

Whatever you like, really! I'll have to ask other people to chime in 'cause despite being in fashion I'm a decidedly un-fashionable person, hahaha. I just wear them with tank tops, t-shirts, or crop tops. And to be completely honest I spend most of my days in sweats or pjs so I'm not much help here. Past 2020 I think I fully lost touch with what's acceptable for what occasions/places 😅 (I was never very in touch in the first place....)
