Sure, jeans are a closet staple but sometimes your legs just want to be free. Nothing says easy and breezy like a fresh, flowy skirt. And, with the weather warming up, this is your sign to stock up on the everyday bottoms.
The best skirts are trendy yet versatile, allowing you to sport it from the office to happy hour. Since skinny jeans have been deemed out, we’ve had to switch to wide-leg pants, but skirts will always stay in style even as trends come and go.
With so many materials, patterns and lengths to choose from, you can really pair any skirt to your aesthetic. No matter if it’s to keep things casual with a classic denim skirt and white T-shirt or the athleisure route with a sporty tennis-inspired outfit. You can even add on a pair of tights to dress it up and keep your legs warm — especially during the colder seasons. It’s really a choose-your-own-adventure style that will instantly elevate your outfit while keeping your legs from feeling restricted.
Ready to show off some leg? We took the liberty of digging through the latest and greatest skirts the Internet has to offer ranging from mini to maxi lengths. No matter what your budget or aesthetic is we’ve got plenty (and we mean plenty) of options to add to your cart. Now get ready to twirl into spring and summer — in style, of course.
