4 Ways To Style Your Summer Skirts

During the summer, there's nothing chicer than an all-white look, but sometimes a subtle addition of colour can truly take a look to the next level. A boxy cotton button-up over a sheer column midi skirt already feels like a classic combination, but finish the look with a soft blue leather clutch and bold charm necklace that evokes that spirit of the season without overwhelming the rest of the look.

If you're determined to not get changed either before or after your next visit to the beach, there's a simple solution. A long pareo is a simple cover-up that when draped correctly can give the illusion of either a midi dress or chic maxi skirt. Opt for a pareo with a pattern and wear it over a solid colour swimsuit and simple flip-flops for a look that you can truly wear all day.

While a black or cream slip skirt are without a doubt the most popular options, this is the season to embrace bright hues. A vibrant yellow is joyful yet looks chic when paired with a simple white tank top. A yellow bag continues that theme without feeling overly coordinated, while an orange pair of earrings is a subtle way to add a touch more colour.

Though longer lengths have grown in popularity in the recent years, don't underestimate the power of a good mini skirt. With the warm weather, look for something light and airy like this white pleated cotton style, then sandwich it with darker colours, like a brown striped top and strappy brown flats. Finish with beaded jewellery and gold hoops for a look that can easily be worn from the office to post-work drinks.
