Sorry, Jeans, But This Summer-Ready Skirt Trend Is All I Want to Wear Right Now
Summer is finally here and this means big news for my wardrobe. Having spent most of the last season in heavy boots and black trousers in an effort to keep warm and avoid any mishaps on London's puddle-peppered streets, with the safety of bluer skies finally in sight, I'll soon be back to styling my favourite colour: bright and breezy white.
Whilst I'm partial to white jeans or linen trousers, the true hero of my summer wardrobe is a fresh white skirt. With warmer weather (I hope I'm not speaking too soon) slowly setting in, a fresh white skirt offers a soft silhouette that can battle the rising temperature with grace. Not to mention, a flowing white skirt can be styled in a myriad of ways, making it one of the most versatile items in my wardrobe.
A favourite during London Fashion Week, showgoers across the capital tested out the fresh summer trend. Pairing it with contrasting black, soft neutrals and light greys, and well as styling with other white items, the fashion-set embraced the versatility and feminine nature of trending skirt.
On casual weekend days this unassuming wardrobe hero styles well with an oversized tee and colourful trainers, or for a trip to the office, the same skirt will look put-together with a pair of ballet flats and an hourglass blazer. With summer finally here, I'm currently pairing mine with a classic baby tee and ballet flats or sandals.
Whilst a white skirt transcends seasonal trends, it's true that the fashion set have been reaching for them more and more in recent months. As such, high-street and designer brands alike have been quick to serve up chic iterations, crafting cotton, satin and denim styles in trending longline cuts in anticipation of high summer.
Read on to discover the best white skirts to buy now.
