Fun Trends: Flirty Skirts

Step into summer and seize the heat with a fun flirty skirt! Tube skirts and other fitted styles might be your usual skirt of choice, but swingy short styles are a fresh and easy way to punch up your wardrobe for warmer temps. These skirts have an A-line hem and ruffle out a little around the bottom—they kinda remind me of a shorter version of a fifties skirt. And they look great on almost everyone! Plus, it’s been a really hot trend this season too. Lots of designers have been including full and frilly skirts into their spring/summer collections. I think it’s safe to say this silhouette will stick around well into winter.

This style of skirt is also really flattering and works well for a lot of different body types. Tuck in your top to accentuate (or create) a waist. Or, wear a loose-fitting stripped tunic untucked over the skirt to play with proportions. Since the hemline on these skirts is fuller, they will have a slimming effect on your legs.

I love to wear these skirts with my top tucked in and a great pair of heels. You can dress it up with a blazer or a statement necklace or keep it casual with a loose tank and a jean jacket. But that’s not all… there are so many ways to wear this style!

So tell me, will you be wearing a flirty skirt this season? Also, what would you wear this kind of skirt with?

PS: The pink skirt is Isabel Marant and the navy Fiftied Full Skirt is from Topshop.
