5 Chic Ways To Style A White Skirt Like A Fashion Girl

There’s no denying that skirts are big news this season, but since the temps peaked, the style pack has been zoning in on the white skirt. In fact, I’d say it is the undisputed hero piece of SS26.
There’s nothing new about this summer essential, but this year, it is 100% dominating our social feeds. From soft linens to breezy cottons, fresh white skirts are the ultimate in easy, warm-weather styling. We’re seeing them styled with graphic tees, bandeau tops, and camis, paired with sandals, flip-flops, and woven pumps, but most importantly, we’ve noticed everyone from the laid-back bohemian to the clean-girl minimalist wearing them. I fall somewhere in between, with a strong lean towards the floaty, holiday vibe. Either way, that white maxi skirt is firmly in my summer wardrobe.
Look for good quality skirts in cottons and linens. Check out Mango, Cos, H&M and Nobody’s Child for affordable, yet beautiful options.
Take inspo from the nineties and noughties, but make it modern with considered accessories. Add a silk scarf, a basket bag, and you’re good to go. With such great high street iterations, you also don’t need to splurge; however, the more designer styles are definitely worth investing in. Think Ralph Lauren, Ba&sh and Chloé. Tempted? I am.
Outfit 1
One of the strongest looks this summer is the clean-lined cotton skirt, embracing a more polished feel. Pairing with a white tee is a classic co-ord, but upgrading the outfit with statement jewellery and leather pumps is your gateway to sophistication.
Outfit 2
There’s nothing more striking than a monochrome fit, especially when it features two of my fave brands, Sézane and Aligne. Love, love this look for all its effortless cool.
Outfit 3
There’s nothing better than finding pieces on the high street that look expensive. And guess what? H&M continues to come up trumps. Its summer collection is causing a frenzy in fashion circles and rightly so.
Outfit 4
White skirts really are like blank canvases; all you need to do is switch up the accessories for entirely different looks. Adding a silk scarf at your hips instantly adds a designer touch, while mesh pumps keep the fit seriously chic.
Outfit 5
The perfect white skirt combo for when we’re not in the depths of a heatwave. Love the neutral vibes, but also the stripes, embroidery, and the casual ease of simple flip-flops.
