*Not* Slip Skirts—The 2010s Style That's Quietly Become Every It Girl's Summer Go-To

It's a romantic girl summer, full of delicate silk, whimsical embroidery, and flirty lace. So, it's no surprise that fashion people are ushering in the most dreamlike skirt taking over the internet.

I'm talking about the tiered ruffle skirt trend that adds a storybook element to everyday life—giving polished slips a run for their money. Most often, the poetic silhouette boats fluttering edges and ripple details, complemented by drawstring cords and sheer overlays.

This lovesick mood is largely at the hands of the bohemian revival, originally spurred on by fashion heavyweights like Isabel Marant and Rachel Zoe in the late 2000s. The boho-chic uniform has now returned, with Chloé's new winter 2026 campaign tapping into its signature etherial, floating designs, embracing elements of freedom and femininity. In other words, the label is keeping the billowy skirt alive.

Ahead, discover a slew of head-turning tiered skirts made for frolicking through the wildflowers—or simply grabbing an iced coffee during your morning commute.
