Now that it's starting to feel, dare I say it, like summer, I’ve found myself considering the key pieces that will define my warm-weather wardrobe this year. Last summer, I landed on the perfect pair of shorts, and at this point, I’ve stockpiled enough cotton dresses to carry me through countless heat waves. Now, it’s my skirt collection that’s calling out for attention. The solution? A white cotton skirt.
Happily, I’ve already fallen this trend as it promises to do all the heavy lifting for me. Chic, versatile and surprisingly affordable, the white cotton skirt is exactly what I’ve been searching for.
The ease! The elegance! This breezy skirt encapsulates the relaxed yet refined energy I want to weave into all of my outfits this season.
With its crisp white hue and floaty silhouette, it’s the perfect outfit base, fresh yet soft, and it styles seamlessly into a variety of summer shades. Think sky blues and gentle pinks for a delicate daytime look, or try pairing it with richer, moodier tones to bring some of your favourite richer hues further into the warmer months.
The cotton fabrication is another huge plus. Naturally breathable and wonderfully lightweight, it’s ideal for high-summer dressing. But don’t wait for a heatwave—this trend is ready to wear now. Simply style with closed-toe shoes and a textured knit for a transitional outfit that works on even chilly spring days.
Whether you're after a maxi, midi or mini, the good news is there’s no shortage of white cotton skirts on the market right now—and plenty of them come at a budget-friendly price. Zara's poplin midi has already caught my eye, and Mango's pleated style is tempting me this season.
