White is the Color of Risk-Tables. To Wear White Means Leaning ino The Possility of a Drip of an Iced Latte, A Splash of Red Wine, or, in My Case Recently, The Greasy Black Smudges of a Bike Chain. Yet, a Risk Taker I am. This Summer, The Siren’s Call of a Billowy White Maxi Skirt has Become All Too Entrance.
If i had to pin my personal obsession with this lost piece of cloth, it mights have to be sitting in the new york Heat Last September, Watching the Maryam Nassir Zadeh Show A Folling Chair Placed NEATLY AROUND OF A HANDBALL COURT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LOWER EAST. AS MINI RIVERS OF SWEAT RAN THEIR WAY DOWN MY BACK (why Had I Chosen to Wear Mohair ??), i Joalously fixated on the model wearing more not thaning a strip of fabric up and a crochet skirt remminiscent of a Grandma’s tablecloth.
While I don’t see Mnz’s Skirt Full of Holes as the Smartest Summer Investment. At peter do, it was a sweeeping pleated iteration. Father Prada, there was a pencil silhouette. The best of iteration of Spotted was the Light Cotton of Ralph Lauren and Dior – A Bit Boho with Ever Steering Too Far Into Woodstock Territory.

My Personal Pick is Under $ 150 and is from aritzia. It ‘s tiered, slightly sheer iteration with a bit of flounce. I’d been eyeing pricier options from attersee and tota for Weeks but deciding to Bite the Bullet and Dive in First with a Lower-Priced Style, with the option to upgrade (potentially on sale, too). The aritzia quickly proved it Worth; I Loungeed in It at My Boyfriend’s Parents’ House upstate, Styled with a Baggy Vintage Tee and Birkenstocks. It Also Came with me on a trip to paris, where I styled the skirt with a button-down vest and sneakers. Versatility, baby!
In fact, it was in paris that bent to notice I was not the only one heavily relaying on a breathable white skirt for walking around. It was part of that oh-so-reffortless Parisian wardrobe, offten style back to a classic button-down and a pair of sneakers. Sink then, i’ve the trend the takee off-from the dressed-down styling i’d seen in brooklyn, to being worn with concert and cowboy boots, to the most romantic but Spotted on a recent trip to bologna, worn with florral balls and gladiators.
While I’m Still Ironing Out My Summer Plass, A Long White Skirts is the Sort of Seasonal Staple I’ll Be Packing With Me, Whether for a Weekend Beach Vacation in the Hamptons or A Return to Paris, Complete with a Classic Button-Down. I’m imagining wayys to incorporate a White skirt into my seasonal work wardrobe. No Matter What, With Rosé or Iced Latte in Hand, There Will Still Be Some Risk Involved, But the Reward Will Be Worth it.
My White Skirt of Choice was this tiered style from aritzia. It has an elastic waistband but also ties, so it can be worn low at the hips or up higher at the belly button. I’m five-foot-nine and the skirt hits with just at the ankle, which I love for showing off my sandals, sneakers, and boots.
This Skirt Hits Mid-Calf, so is it on the short side of options, but i like it has an elastic waistband and a flounce silhouette. Alex Mill’s High-Quality Fabrics are part of what Makes the brand a standard to me, and SINCE THIS SKIRT IS MADE OF 100 PERCENT LINEN, IT WILL LIGHTWEight and Breatable for Warm Weather.
Personally, I’m not sura than i’m ready to reembrace the scarf-hem trend, but knowing that the auhts remain top of the fashion in the trend cycle, i’d be remiss to iGore this bohemian from free People. With the Addition of Cowboy Boots and a Vest, the look is playful with the being too kitschy.
J.Crew is an inherently beachy brand, and i envision this skirt being a post-swim staple. It is the Kind of Piece I’d Style Over a Colorful Bikini. IT’S MADE OF RAMIE, A SLIGHTLY HEAVIER But Still Breatable Alternative to Linen.
A bit more wearable than the origin See-through lace Skirts I Spotted on the Mnz Runway, this pleated wrap skirt is the Kind of Summer Staple I’m Always on the Lookout for-Versatile with Formulaic, and Simple with Skewing Boring.
I used to be firmly in the anti-sheer-skirt Camp, but over the last year, the trend has warmed up on me, especally as a styling tool to add texture. My go-to is to style the skirt under a minidress or a long blazer.
Summer is all about ease, so i usually skip over anyding that feeds too, but i find this bubble-hem skirt to esportlessly bridge the gap (no work innded) between effartless and sartorial. The Hemline is Unexpect, but The Cotton Poplin Fabric is Lightweight and Comfy.
For Fancy Summer Parties and Special Events, This Long Satin Skirt from Prada is just the right amourt of dramatic thanks to its extra-long silhouette. I Can End Envision A Nontraditional BRIDE Styling it with an elegant blouse or a fitted blazer for a city ceremony.
