Kaia Gerber Just Wore the Anti-Miniskirt Trend That Has Elegant Fashion People Hooked

Managing a brimming calendar of press events, photoshoots and work engagements, Kaia Gerber often uses her downtime to style the casual items in her wardrobe. Though she frequently reaches for laid-back trainers, baggy jeans and roomy knits, yesterday she changed her tune, stepping out in New York in an off-duty ensemble that retained her relaxed aesthetic whilst tapping into one of the season's most elegant trends.
Spring might usually be when we start to see miniskirts return to the fore, but celebrities have been opting for another style this. For her day in the city, Gerber reached for a trending calf-grazing pencil skirt to form the foundation of her look. The pencil skirt has been fairly quiet since its heyday in the '90s, but now the silhouette is back on the radars of the most stylish, having featured heavily in the 2024 designer collections. Wearing hers with open-toe mules and a boat-neck top, Gerber evaded the "stuffy" connotations that have followed this skirt style for years, instead creating a polished ensemble that felt lowkey yet elegant, and very now.
Miniskirts will never be "out", but Gerber proves that the grown-up pencil skirt trend offers just as much styling potential for the warmer months, providing the coverage that early spring often calls for, making it an ideal solution for the changeable weather we're currently experiencing.
