Living in Los Angeles certainly has its perks—namely year-round sunshine and a top-notch food scene. After nearly a year in the city, I've learned that its fashion is just as compelling, and the style set has mastered the art of effortless dressing through easy, breezy silhouettes. Case in point? The skirt trends ruling Los Angeles this spring, all of which exude cool-girl appeal.

When it comes to Los Angeles style, the vibe is unmistakably laid-back, especially compared to major cities like New York and Miami. In other words, there's no hard-and-fast dress code. The season's skirt trends mirror that ease, from relaxed maxis to denim minis. However, some L.A.-based fashion folks are dialing things up a few notches, embracing satin finishes and even sequins in broad daylight. Color is also playing a major role, with pastel and vibrant skirts popping up across the city this spring.

Below, discover five skirt trends taking over Los Angeles right now along with outfit inspiration for each silhouette.

Sheer

Naked dressing continues to dominate in the fashion world, and Los Angeles is no exception. A subtle entry point into the trend? A sheer skirt. Layer it under a long jacket for extra coverage, or style it over high-rise underwear if you're feeling slightly more daring.

Satin

While satin shoes reigned last year, the lustrous fabric has since made its way into ready-to-wear, specifically skirts. To keep the look from feeling overly dressy, L.A.-based fashion insiders are pairing their high-shine pieces with classic button-downs and simple tees.

Denim Mini

Just when it seemed like the Y2K revival was winding down, spring's denim-miniskirt trend proved otherwise. In L.A., the fashion set is all in on the early aughts–inspired ultra-tiny look. Give the silhouette a modern spin with trendy flip-flops and a colorful headscarf.

Sequins

Sequins after the holidays? Don't count them out. According to women in L.A., a dazzling skirt works just as well in the spring, and there's no need to wait until the evening to pull it out. Simply tone down the shine during the day with a ribbed tank.

Relaxed Maxi

Though miniskirts have led the fashion conversation in recent seasons, maxis are commanding the spotlight in Los Angeles this spring. You can't go wrong with a simple black style, but for something a touch more playful, opt for a printed maxi.
