As summer winds down, it’s time to start thinking about ways to transition our wardrobes. Surefire staples that offer versatility are key to mastering the in-between season. Here at Vogue, the white maxi- and midiskirt happens to be the item that we’re all taking from summer to fall.
I actually had a twinning moment with one of my colleagues a few days ago. We both took our mid-length skirts for a spin and paired them with one of the It items of the season: a tailored vest. Since then, I’ve noticed quite a few editors are turning to the timelessness of the white skirt right now. From the column-esque denim maxi by Raey to the voluminous allure of full poplin designs by Hill House Home, the white skirt has fully infiltrated the Vogue office, and there’s no doubt that it will continue to do so throughout the fall, especially since there are so many ways to style the coveted item.
Pair one with a soft knit crewneck sweater, or elevate it with a sharp leather blazer: The options are endless. We’ve gathered six undeniably chic ways to wear a white midi- and maxiskirt, and we’re sharing the details on several of our favorite styles ahead. Get into the minimalist closet staple to instantly elevate your transitional-dressing outfits now.
The Editors’ Pick With a Polo Sweater
If you love Hill House Home’s Nap dress, meet the Delphine Nap skirt. The recent addition to the indoor-meets-outdoor label has quickly become an editor favorite at Vogue, and it comes in a few colorways to mix and match. Pair yours with a polo sweater once temperatures start to drop.
The Long and Lean Skirt With Commuter-Chic Shoes
With fans that include Meghan Markle, Katie Holmes, and Sofia Richie, it’s safe to say Posse is one of the must-have brands right now. Reach for the label’s linen maxi to wear with your polished vests and coveted sneaker collabs—like Loewe and On’s recent drop.
The Denim Dream With Polished Pieces
The denim skirt receives a grown-up chic makeover, thanks to Raey’s elegant take on the design. This versatile pick can be dressed up or down with just about any top and shoes you can dream of. But we love it with a classic stripe button-up and dainty mules.
The Peekaboo Moment With Sophisticated Separates
Go the romantic route with an eyelet design that shows a bit of skin. Balance the reveal-and-conceal look with elegant staples, like a chic blouse, a timeless handbag, and chic sandals from labels like Burberry.
The Sleek Slip With Fall Finds
No need to pack away those silky maxis. Elongate their life spans by pairing them with leather fall staples. Massimo Dutti’s classic blazer and Khaite’s two-tone boots are just a few seasonal picks on our wishlist.
The Polished Pleats With Elegant Pairings
Here’s the schoolgirl trend at its best. Maria McManus nails the moment with a boxed-pleat skirt made with organic cotton. Keep the neutral tones going with an elevated tank top and a suede pair of ballet flats by Manolo Blahnik.
