8 Influencer-Inspired Skirt Outfits That Are So Easy To Recreate This Summer

When it comes to summer dressing, skirts are the item that I find myself trying to crack every year. They look so easy—and comfortable for those sticky summer days—and yet somehow I always feel like I’m just not doing them quite right. The proportions seem off, the fit isn’t quite fitting, and try as I might I just can’t tie them together with accompanying pieces to create a cohesive look. This year, I’ve decided to finally crack the skirt code and is it turns out, I’ve been massively overcomplicating the issue.

The beauty of skirts is their simplicity. If you pick the right style, these versatile wardrobe staples can seamlessly integrate into your daily dressing, pairing just as beautifully with the tops and accessories you’d normally style with your jeans or tailored trousers. It all comes down to picking the right skirt.

Helpfully, this year there are a number of skirt styles that are very on trend, and also happen to feel especially timeless. This is largely thanks to the fabrics—linen and crisp cottons are blissfully lightweight and breathable, but also exude the kind of effortless sophistication that we all strive to achieve, even on the stickiest days. This season, voluminous cotton skirts are going to be everywhere—white versions are a great option for sleek minimalists, but you could also embrace bold colours if you’re looking for a sunny dopamine hit. If you like to show off your legs, a mini should be your go to—understatedly cool, a black mini skirt can easily be dressed up or down with a few styling switches.
