Sorry, Jeans, But This Spring-Ready Skirt Trend Is All I Want to Wear Right Now
Spring is around the corner and this means big news for my wardrobe. Having spent the winter in heavy boots and black trousers in an effort to keep warm and avoid any mishaps on London's puddle-peppered streets, with the safety of bluer skies finally in sight, I'll soon be back to styling my favourite colour: bright and breezy white.
Whilst I'm partial to white jeans or linen trousers, the true hero of my spring wardrobe is a fresh white skirt. With warmer weather (I hope I'm not speaking too soon) slowly setting in, a fresh white skirt offers a soft silhouette that can battle the rising temperature with grace. Not to mention, a flowing white skirt can be styled in a myriad of ways, making it one of the most versatile items in my wardrobe.
A favourite during London Fashion Week, showgoers across the capital tested out the fresh spring trend this weekend. Pairing it with contrasting navys, soft pinks and light greys, and well as styling with other white items, the fashion-set embraced the versatility and feminine nature of trending skirt.
On casual weekend days this unassuming wardrobe hero styles well with an oversized tee and colourful trainers, or for a trip to the office, the same skirt will look put-together with a pair of Mary Janes and an hourglass blazer. With spring still just on the horizon for now though, I'm currently pairing mine with a classic navy knit and knee-high boots.
Whilst a white skirt transcends seasonal trends, it's true that the fashion set have been reaching for them more and more in recent months. As such, high-street and designer brands alike have been quick to serve up chic iterations, crafting cotton, satin and denim styles in trending longline cuts in anticipation of spring.
From Reformation's billowy number to Max Mara's pleated style, read on to discover the best white skirts to buy now.
