Trust Me—This Relaxed Outfit Formula Is *the* Cool Look for Summer
There are a lot of different outfit combinations you can make with even the most basic wardrobe staples that are sure to still make you feel chic and polished. (To us, those are the best kinds of outfits!) However, if there were one pairing we could never get tired of, it’s T-shirts and skirts. Sure, a T-shirt will always look good with a pair of jeans, but for the summer, a skirt is the better option. When styled accordingly, this classic two-piece outfit can be perfect for nearly every occasion, whether it’s a casual lunch meeting with a colleague, weekend get-togethers with friends and family, or an easy day to yourself.
Of course, just like any other effortless ensemble, wearing such versatile pieces can often feel redundant. Not to worry, that’s where we come in. Ahead, you’ll find a comprehensive collection of Who What Wear-approved ways to style a simple T-shirt with a skirt. Whether that be a lace skirt, satin skirt, or poplin skirt, the outfits below will help you decide.
