Celebrities and Fashion Insiders Are Ditching Jeans for a "Strange Skirt Summer"

There's a playful mood in the air this summer, and it's already influenced my favorite celebrities' wardrobes. Taking a break from wearing their fail-safe jeans all the time, those who run in fashion circles are shopping an emerging skirt trend that snaps back at the quiet luxury aesthetic that's reigned for so long. Appearing all over my FYP, it seems this season is shaping up to be a "strange skirt summer."
Lily Allen propelled the trend via an Instagram post last week that saw her styling a printed skirt with a colorful cartoon-inspired design emblazoned across the front. Using the bold skirt to anchor her look, Allen crafted a fun ensemble that looked right at home on the vibrant, flower-clad streets of Italy.
Taking a more relaxed approach to the trend, singer Rosalía wore her Kate Moss print skirt with a simple black tee and tall platform heels. It's safe to say this playful skirt trend is the instant outfit elevator that the style set is falling for.
It might not be particularly easy to wear, but it's not entirely difficult either, as "bad" styling could make it look even better. The charm of the strange skirt lies in its inherent messiness. A strange skirt can entirely change the direction of an outfit, making it neither classic nor predictable but instead playful in an approachable way.
Taking an equally brazen approach, Sabrina Carpenter was spotted ahead of her Vogue World debut styling an ankle-length striped skirt in a bold red with a matching top and headscarf. Subverting expectations, this characterful skirt trend is the quickest way to revive your summer style, and brands have responded en masse.
From Farm Rio to Reformation, we've rounded up some of the chicest, most out-there styles on the market right now.
