Spring has finally arrived this week, and boy, we couldn't be happier. We can finally pack away our Michelin Man puffer coats, swap our chunky boots for Velcro-strap sandals and reacquaint ourselves with the magical, eye bag–covering joy of big sunglasses. This year, we have also found ourselves falling back in love with skirts, a wardrobe category that has played second fiddle to the dress in recent years.
Designers and high-street brands alike have turned their attention to the humble skirt in all its facets for spring 2022, which has manifested in a wide range of styles and silhouettes coming to the fore. Column skirts, slips, circle skirts, midis, minis, leather, denim… You name it; a brand will have created it. Well, we decided to give you a bit of a rundown of the four key skirt trends that we are personally backing for 2022. Plus, we shopped them out to give you a head start. Scroll down to see and shop our edit.
1. The Column Skirt
Bring some '90s spirit into your spring wardrobe with a column skirt. Just complete the full throwback look with a colour-match shirt.

2. The Mini
While it never technically went away, the miniskirt seems to be having a particular moment in the spotlight this season. Our favourite styles come A-line in a thick wool or bouclé fabric.

3. The '90s Slip
The slip is undoubtedly the perfect day-to-night skirt trend and, luckily, is available in a range of fabrics and shades the right now. We love Victoria Beckham's floor-skimming number, which has a fun noughties twist.

4. The Denim Skirt
A denim skirt is just what we want to wear in spring when we're not quite psychologically ready for a mini. Whether you go for bleached denim, true blue or cream, this is sure to be a versatile piece for many seasons to come.
