This season, skirts aren’t just part of the outfit—they are the outfit. No matter where your summer wardrobe takes you this season–the city streets or a faraway destination–here are six seriously chic ways to wear your new printed skirt (plus, a few other favorites to covet).
The Geometric Find with All Black Accessories
Zara’s pleated, geometric midiskirt is constantly selling out, and for good reason. The unexpected, bright print serves as an easy starting point. Styling-wise, sport it monochromatic accessories, like Toteme’s leather slides, and Lemaire’s fishnet-embellished croissant bag.
The Multicolored Maxi with a Muscle Tee and Shell Necklace
Dries Van Noten’s multicolored cotton maxi will add a welcome splash of color to your summer rotation. Let the vivid print do the talking with Veronica Beard’s muscle tee as your base, and Jennifer Behr’s shell pendant necklace playing off the skirt’s tones. Toteme’s crocodile flip-flop is a chic finishing touch.
The Two-Tone Pencil Skirt with Work-Friendly Extras
For office hours, you probably want to strike a balance of sophistication and practicality. That’s easily accomplished with Zara’s two-toned midi skirt, Flore Flore’s black tank top, and Dragon Diffusion’s woven basket bag—a style big enough to fit a laptop.
The Polka Dot Pairing with a Basket Tote
Like the stripe, polka dots during summer have endless appeal. There are plenty of ways to wear it, but we at Vogue appreciate a matchy-matchy moment. We also love how the print looks alongside a basket bag.
The Playful Maxi with Sophisticated Additions
Khaite takes the classic maxi skirt silhouette and puts a whimsical spin on it with a raspberry print. For a date or event, pair it with Suzie Kondi’s red terry T-shirt and The Row’s barely-there heeled sandals.
The Modern Pencil Skirt with the Draped T-Shirt
When it comes to foolproof combinations, few pairings are as chic as a modern T-shirt and pencil skirt. La DoubleJ’s reimagining the formula with a mood-boosting print. The same can be said for 3.1 Phillip Lim’s T-shirt, updated with artful draping.
