Forget The Ornaments, Tree Toppers And Lights – This Christmas, Designers Are Obsessed With Tree Skirts (And These Are The Ones You Need To Know About)

Festive, brightly lit Christmas tree decorated with a brass tree skirt pictured in front of a fireplace located inside of a cozy holiday living room.

Below, we spotlight the three key aesthetics defining the trend and the pieces worth investing in now. Here's our edit of the very best to shop now.
