There was no denying the presence of the voluminous-circle-skirt trend on the streets of New York Fashion Week. This flouncy midi skirt has a pretty sophistication that can even elevate your favorite old T-shirt. Not to mention, two of our own chic editors took the trend for a fashion-week spin.
From the classic Dior Bar Suit to Prada’s elegant F/W 22 display of circle-skirt suits, the opulence of these curtsy-worthy skirts continues in the luxury world. But the modern styling of this trend, like that of the New York street style set, is a combination of casual staples, pristine layers, and bold accessories. Tank tops, T-shirts, baseball caps, and sneakers are all playful updates to this historically buttoned-up trend.
As we quickly slide into spring weather, the midi skirt is a perfect way to transition your wardrobe. Wear it with a turtleneck sweater or cropped jacket now and with an easy T-shirt or tank top later in the season. Below, I’ve selected the perfect edit of pretty skirts to freshen your closet.
