Give Your White Skirts a Break and Try the Rich Color Londoners Are Loving Instead
Undeniably chic.
It’s a fact the white skirt is a fashion staple for many this summer. It is easy to wear and a breeze to style. I’ve spotted it everywhere—on the subway, picnicking in Central Park, and in every fashion lover's closet. But to be honest, I’ve grown bored with its predictability. I dare say it's ordinary? As summer begins to wind down, I'm looking for a more sophisticated, grown-up alternative—something that I can wear from now into fall.
That's why I’m proposing this fashion people approved color instead. Already a favorite among London’s fashion crowd, the rich espresso color is a chic replacement for the white skirt. It’s just as, if not more, versatile while bringing a sense of sophistication and polish to your wardrobe. A brown skirt looks best paired with a basic crewneck, a graphic tee, or in an all-chocolate monochromatic look. (That's how I plan to wear it.)
Scroll down to see how London’s fashion set has styled the brown skirt and 21 chic espresso options to peruse and hopefully add one to your closet. From poplin styles to the trending Reformation lace-trim slip skirt, trust me—it’s time to drop your white midi and pick up a brown skirt today.
