Certain wardrobe items are seasonal and unsuitable for year-round use, no matter how much it pains you to store them away once summer is over. For example, flip-flops, crochet dresses, and most items made from linen. These items have their time in the sun (literally) but must be stowed away for fall, winter, and much of spring.
Until recently, white A-line skirts would've met the same fate. But Prada's F/W 23 collection showcased a bevy of styling maneuvers capable of keeping the popular summer staple around throughout the colder months. To pull it off, you need neutral knits, a leather blazer, and a pair of summery white kitten heels. Now you'll have to pry my white skirts from my cold, winter-chapped hands. And even then, I'll hold on tight.
I can only imagine others feel the same, especially those who love the A-line silhouette, like Laura Harrier. The actress recently shared a slideshow on Instagram in which she was wearing a white A-line skirt while sipping a matcha latte outside an L.A. cafe. "[I've] fully switched from coffee to matcha. My L.A. assimilation is complete," Harrier's caption reads.
Harrier kept her look summery with a white cropped tube top, a cord necklace, The Row flip-flops, and oval sunglasses. But, with next season's drop in temperatures, I see no reason why her exact skirt couldn't be entirely reworked to become a fall mainstay. Keep scrolling to see her look and shop all of the white A-line skirts I'm considering adding to my wardrobe ahead of autumn.
