Throughout the warmer months, it's important to take advantage of clothing that is weather-specific, to indulge in the fleeting opportunity to don thigh-grazing hemlines and shoulder-bearing blouses, before the cold renders them useless. While we can, we're traipsing around in miniskirts partially because we love the flirtatious silhouette, but mostly due to the fact that it's simply too hot to wear anything else. If you need a few fresh ensembles to liven up your skirt rotation, we've recreated three looks from some of our favorite tastemakers below. Whether that's a pleated tennis skirt or a structured plaid mini, we're sure you'll enjoy these looks.


Rugby Shirt + Pleated Skirt + Loafers

Lean in to your inner sporty vibe with a rugby shirt and a tennis skirt. Finish the look with loafers to polish up your appearance and continue the preppy theme.

Though the look is simple in essence (a denim skirt and t-shirt), the wrap style of the skirt plus the knotted styling of the shirt instantly elevates it. A feminine shoe adds the perfect final touch.


Plaid Skirt + Button-Down + Statement Heels

What could be an uber-preppy look is relaxed by leaving the shirt untucked and half-buttoned. The green accessories also shake things up via the color scheme.
