ICYMI: This Is the Summer 2026 Way to Wear a Knee-Length Skirt
See Kendall Jenner for proof.
No skirt style is making as many waves in 2026 as the knee-length kind. They're everywhere in the form of sleek leather pencil skirts and linen and poplin versions that feel casual and easy. Mini and maxi skirts, beware—there's a new skirt in town, and it's beating you both by a mile. What makes knee-length skirts so good is that there really is no wrong way to wear them. They look good no matter what you pair with them. Though, there is one very right way to style a knee-length skirt this summer, and Kendall Jenner just gave it her stamp of approval. Summer 2026 is about to be all about the knee-length white skirt with minimalist strappy sandals for added effect.
The 818 founder and supermodel was seen wearing her all-white knee-length-skirt outfit in New York City at Anua's Dew on the Go pop-up. Jenner recently starred in the Korean skincare brand's campaign for its PDRN Collagen Glow Facial Serum Spray ($19), and her look glowed just as much as her skin following a spritz of Anua's mist. For the occasion, she donned a high-neck, long-sleeve white tunic by The Row called the Elione Top ($2650) with its matching knee-length skirt, the Ivera Skirt ($1500). Naturally, both are sold out. With the popular combo, she added The Row's gold-silk top-handle Cecily Bag ($1250) as well as a pair of '90s-inspired Jimmy Choo Jenn 100 Suede Sandals ($895).

The look was an instant hit and confirmed an outfit trend we've been watching since spring. It's already popped up in a variety of ways on chic women around the world. For a more affordable alt, pair a classic white T-shirt with a knee-length white skirt, adding a black belt for elevation. You could also go for a tonal ensemble by pairing a light-tan or cream skirt with a white tank if all white isn't your vibe. Play around with sandal colors by trying burgundy or perhaps tan. Again, there's no wrong way to wear a knee-length skirt, so exploring other avenues of Jenner's all-white version is always encouraged.
