Trend We Love: Summer Skirts




Instead of wearing your usual Summer dress, why not try a fun, high waisted summer skirt?? We just love this trend because it’s versatile, figure flattering, and easy. Cute summer skirts are everywhere – all you need are a few staple pieces to mix and match to your heart’s content!
Floral printed skirts are a must-have for this summer, but you can’t ever go wrong with a high waisted skirt in a basic color. To achieve an exaggerated high-waist look, try buying a size smaller than you usually wear. This way the skirt will rest a little bit higher than your natural waist. Slim fitting tops and high waisted skirts make a perfect pair - especially tank tops and v-neck tees. If you are going for a dressier look, a chiffon top or ruffled blouse will make your look a little more polished.
This skirt trend is so popular, we’ve even seen dresses disguising themselves as skirt/top combinations… do you think they’re jealous?


This is the most basic and fool proof way to wear the high waisted skirt trend. This look is incredibly figure flattering- perfect for a first date, if you don’t want to seem over dressed.
For a more relaxed look, vintage and printed tees look amazing with high waisted skirts. They don’t have to be fitted, either – a blousy v-neck is one of my favorite pairings with a skirt.


When you’re tired of just wearing tanks with your high waisted skirt, try a light weight chiffon top. This feminine, tuxedo-esque top is a great match for this flirty, tiered skirt.
