As someone who wears jeans almost everyday (especially throughout winter), there's no doubt that a fresh skirt outfit that is chic, easy to put together, and still provides some warmth, is a welcome breath of fresh air in my daily dressing routine. In an attempt to pull myself out of a current winter jeans rut, I've been saving a whole host of trend-forward skirt outfits that have me truly excited to get dressed in the morning.

Skirts (of all lengths!) are having a major moment right now. From longer column '90s silhouettes to chic minis and fresh knee-length silhouettes, we spotted a variety of styles all over the spring/summer 2024 runways—something for every body type and taste.

Below, I'm sharing eight skirt outfits I'm loving (and trying) this season that will breathe new life into my looks from winter to spring. Take a peek and shop them for yourself.

Ideal when the temps are still chilly, a neutral wool skirt that falls just below the knees is a classic and chic option that looks sophisticated when paired with knee-high boots, a turtleneck, and an elegant long camel coat. Finish the look with an of-the-moment burgundy handbag to add a rich pop of color to the look.
