The One Skirt Style Everyone Is Wearing, From the Upper East Side to Monaco
Summer 2024 is the season of the miniskirt. I wouldn't call it a comeback, though, as miniskirts are never really "out." This season, we're seeing them return in updated forms. Something to note is that they're entering a more elegant sphere, with fashion insiders from the Upper East Side to Monaco adding them to their wardrobes. In some cases, we're seeing luxe satin versions and, in others, heritage-print pareos, but any elevated version will do. Tennis skirts are appearing on and off the courts, and colorful styles are adding personality to cool outfits.
Seeing that the trend is already picking up for the season ahead, you're probably going to be bombarded with many versions to choose from. I've already seen an overwhelming number of cool miniskirts hit the market as of late, so I narrowed them down to the best styles. Ahead, shop the best miniskirts for summer.
Style tip: Layer closet basics such as a white tee and denim jacket with a miniskirt, then add a pair of kitten heels.
It wouldn't be a miniskirt roundup without a Reformation appearance.
Style tip: To balance proportions, pair a short skirt with a simple crewneck sweater.
Style tip: Lean into tennis style on or off the courts. Add ankle socks and retro white sneakers.
Style tip: Wear a colorful pareo or crochet skirt with a crisp poplin button-down shirt on vacation.
Style tip: Wear one of the season's biggest shades, such as butter yellow, tomato red, or kelly green, to embrace color.
