A decade further on, and we can see how the skirt suit continues to evolve in line with other fashions. These late Edwardian examples from Weldon's Ladies' Journal combine rather masculine jackets with straight skirts reaching the instep. The effect is severe, but the outfits are topped by some extravagantly feminine hats!
"In our variable climate a tweed coat and skirt is always a necessity to our wardrobe, and here is show a most useful style for spring and summer tweeds and suitings..."
"A smart little suit for morning, country, or seaside wear, made in spring tweed, serge, fancy or plain cloth... Three gored skirt and semi-fitting double-breasted coat."
"...the pleated skirt is an excellent model for tweeds, serge, homespun, etc. Four-gored skirt, pleated side and semi-fitting coat."
"One of the new coats for the new spring woollens... with velvet faced collar."
"A most useful style for cachemire, tweeds, fancy woollens, hopsack, serge, cloth, trimmed braid. Six-gored skirt, pleated panel back and front. Semi-fitting coat."
"A dressy coat and skirt for ribbed serge or tweed... Two piece skirt with inverted pleats at side. Semi-fitting coat."
