Inflation is up, and my clothing budget is down. As much as I'd like to splurge on designer pieces, I want to get more bang for my buck and stick to under-$100 pieces this summer. Luckily, brands such as H&M, Zara, and Mango know exactly what I want: on-trend skirts with reasonable price tags.
As far as I'm concerned, there are three main skirt trends to know about this year: A-line midis (á la Prada), rib-knit maxis, and tennis minis. This trio of trends should cover you for almost any activity this summer, from beach picnics to date nights. Scroll down to shop my favorite affordable skirt trends.
1. A-Line Midi Skirts
Zara never seems to get it wrong.
I'd also style this perfect skirt with ballet flats.
This gives me major Prada vibes.
Florals for summer? Groundbreaking.
2. Ribbed-Knit Maxi Skirts
This $18 price tag is calling my name.
How cute is this peach color?
Yet another winner from H&M.
You already know Free People is all over the maxi skirt trend.
3. Tennis Miniskirts
Tennis, anyone?
This is absolutely cute enough to wear when there's no tennis court in sight.
I love the '70s vibes of this skirt.
You can't beat this $10 price tag.
Next, these 3 watches will never go out of style—promise.
