Sabrina Carpenter Just Wore the Fall Version of Summer's Biggest Skirt Trend

The hold that white A-line poplin skirts had on us this summer was iron-strong. Celebs like Kaia Gerber, Laura Harrier, and Gigi Hadid were wearing them as often if not more than we were, which was at least once a week. And no one can blame any of us. The Prada-inspired trend combined ease and versatility with elegance and grace, whether styled with a cashmere sweater, a graphic tee, or a plain white T-shirt or tank. White skirts could do no wrong—and next summer, they'll likely continue to be faultless.

As much as I'd like to keep the trend going into 2025, poplin simply isn't a practical material for colder weather. So to keep the same vibe going into the chillier months, I'm voting that we switch to a more durable, warmer fabric (and autumnal color scheme) while we wait for sunny days to return in the spring. And apparently, Sabrina Carpenter's in full agreement.

On Sabrina Carpenter: Christian Louboutin Me Dolly Kitten Heel Peep Toe Slide Sandal ($795)

The Short n' Sweet singer, who's currently on tour, traded in her on-stage sparkly miniskirts and corset bodysuits for a more autumnal getup for a night out in New York, where she was performing last week at both Barclays Center in Brooklyn and Madison Square Garden in Manhattan. Carpenter was spotted leaving dinner at Via Carota in the West Village wearing a sleeveless black turtleneck sweater with a brown-and-black plaid A-line skirt as well as black peep-toe Christian Louboutin heels and a lightweight black jacket.

Though not as summery as the white ones we all thirsted over from May until August, Carpenter's fall alternative possesses the same benefits of its warm-weather predecessor. It's sophisticated and glamorous while still being simple to style and comfortable. The colors—brown and black—make it perfect for pairing with autumnal knits and cropped blazers, and it'll look great with sheer tights when the temperatures dip further into the 40s, 30s, and 20s.
