Fashion Girls Are Packing This Pretty Skirt Trend Instead of Miniskirts For Vacations in Europe

Sofia Richie is back in the place where she was when the world became obsessed with her style two years ago: the South of France—specifically, the Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes, where she got married. This time, she's there for vacation, and her wardrobe for this trip has proven to be just as enviable now as it was then. And one of the vacation looks Richie just posted features a trend I've noticed has been popping up a lot in European vacation photos of fashion girls like herself.

The trend is full maxi skirts. The elegant, pretty trend is basically the opposite of the classic vacation-friendly miniskirt we see year after year. But the former is far more dramatic, and photographs so beautifully, as Richie just proved. She wore a striped skirt from her now-sold-out collaboration with Tommy Hilfiger, along with a black boat-neck tank and flip-flops. She looks chic and effortless, and it's enough to inspire me to shop for a full maxi skirt for my next summer vacation. Keep scrolling to do the same.
