5 Skirts for the Summer Wardrobe

Floral Midi

The voluminous midi is the number one skirt style for this summer, especially in a bold, oversized floral print in a slinky fabric like polyester satin. Temper its formal femininity with a distressed denim jacket for more casual outings, or amp up the sex appeal with a tucked blouse and heels.

Floaty Tulle

A long tulle skirt combines prima ballerina elegance and nonchalant ingénue, making it work just about anywhere. Pair with a stripped long-sleeved shirt and metallic shoes for a little offbeat edge or play up the femme vibe with vivid heels and a white crop top.

Denim Mini

This summer brings a little mod vibe to the wardrobe arsenal and in the skirt arena it’s all about the denim mini. Pair with a long jacket and booties for a subtle nod to go-go style while still staying completely modern-chic.

Suede Button-down

Spring was all about the 70s, and it’s continuing on into the summer with suede pieces. The pivotal suede skirt that played center stage in the retro era is a hot commodity this summer, particularly in short to midi lengths and button front styles.

Striped Pencil

It’s easy to see why the stripped pencil skirt makes the top 5 list for summer skirts. The stretch jersey is uber comfortable while giving a flattering, curve-hugging look. It can get dressed up with tucked-in blouses (try floral print to play to the season’s print-on-print obsession) or go casual with a tucked cotton T (preferably with a cutesy logo).
