At-home style has been the name of the game for the last few months, but we just got the official word that businesses are going to be reopening as early as next week! Leaving the house is an EVENT and we will all be jumping at the chance to dress up a bit – even if we’re just headed to pick up takeout or to the grocery store. In the past, summer style has been all about cute little dresses and strappy heels. However, this summer, we need pieces that are going to make us feel pretty and alive, but that are still comfortable enough to lounge around the house in. Summer style 2020 is all about comfort, versatility, and color. And that got me thinking about SKIRTS!
Why Skirts Will Save Your Summer Style
I know, I know. You might be thinking…if you can’t see it on a Zoom call, why should I be thinking about skirts right now? Well, skirts are one of the most versatile pieces in your closet! You can throw them on with a simple tee and some sneakers and look polished and put together both in and out of the house. And once we start going out again, you can amp it up with a blouse or blazer and some heels or strappy sandals. As a personal stylist, I want to make sure that I am recommending pieces that fit with my clients’ lifestyle and that can be worn in several different ways. In light of that, I decided to round up a few of my favorite summer skirts! So here are the 5 types of skirts that will save your summer style!
The Midi Skirt
Midi skirts are perfect for this transitional time. They aren’t too short, so you won’t feel weird wearing them around the house. The in-between length looks great with sneakers and will also work with sandals.

The Fun Print
Prints are the perfect way to express your personality! Polka dots are a classic, but there are so many other options too. The key to choosing a printed skirt during this time is to stick to prints and colors that make you smile. Printed skirts are also easier to mix and match with tops because they often have multiple colors and tones that can be paired with them.

The Color Pop
This spring, we saw a resurgence of neon and ALL the bright colors, and that trend will continue throughout the summer. Bright, fun colors add joy to your wardrobe and truly make you feel alive when you wear them!

The Slip Skirt
Slip skirts are a classic for a reason. They are elevated and sleek without being revealing. They are usually more of a midi length and come in all different prints and colors. Look for ones that have easy waistbands that don’t pinch. For now, pair it with a crisp white tee. Later, you can wear it with a strappy tank top and heels to glam it up.

Full pleated skirts are such a fun way to add movement and texture to your outfit. And they often come with elastic waistbands, which is perfect for time at home or out and about. And as a bonus…most of them don’t wrinkle!
