If You’re Not Into Shorts, This Cute and Classy Skirt Trend Is the Perfect Substitute

This season, I'm aiming to simplify my wardrobe by means of a few key additions. I haven't properly updated my summer capsule for the past few years, so now I find myself in a situation where I need to build out my rotation from the ground up, starting with the most classic of buys; pieces I know won't date in a hurry. Handily, in my role as a fashion editor, I've developed an understanding of the trends that can last in my wardrobe for years to come, and this season I've spotted a particularly chic trend that's set to go the distance.

Up until now, my wardrobe has largely consisted of sweeping maxi skirts and voluminous midis, but lately I've seen pretty white mini skirts all of my FYP page and I can't stop thinking about how good they look.

Clean, simple and extremely versatile, a white mini skirt is a buy that can see you through the entire summer. As someone who doesn't love wearing shorts all the time, I am pleased to see that there's finally a trend that feels just as classy but also as effortless.

As with all white clothing items, the styling potential of a white mini skirt is truly endless. Pair with a sleek black top for an elegant monochrome look, or wear with a pop of colour to give it a new lease of life. However, with limitless outfits at your disposal, sometimes knowing where to start can be overwhelming. That's why I've collated some of the chicest white mini skirt outfits I've seen so far for inspiration.
