As we cling to the last days of summer and tip toe into AW24, the maxi skirt is the must-have piece to see you through. From crisp white cotton styles to slinky satins, this dramatic number is an influencer go-to and we’re obsessed…

For some, nothing beats the long swish of a billowy skirt; that effortless, feminine style that looks cool, especially when paired with the shoe of the season. For others, the full coverage equates to comfort, ease and not having to let sun-deprived legs loose to the world. Whatever camp you fall under (perhaps both), there’s one thing we can all agree on, a maxi skirt is really quite fabulous.

The monochrome combo continues to dominate, which oozes a kind of minimalist elegance. Worn with mesh ballet pumps or sandals, the whole situation feels like it could easily slide from holiday to work wear. Cos, Massimo Dutti and Reformation have you covered for those pared back vibes. However, as we nudge closer to colder months, we’re beginning to notice delicious rich hues hitting stores. Think smooth chocolate, khaki and deep dark reds; colours that emanate sophistication, look ever so designer and yet they’re from high street faves, M&S, & Other Stories and Arket.

Plus, in terms of what’s trending in the world of Tik Tiok, how could I not mention the word of the moment? Maxi skirts are totally ‘demure’.
