As the seasons change, I like to pepper a few new items into my wardrobe that, when paired with pieces I already own, will provide a new perspective. My shopping list for this year includes a brown suede jacket, a striped long-sleeve tee, and—the one I’m most excited about—a white maxi skirt. Dubbed by Harling Ross a “bed sheet” skirt, these long white skirts are the bottom du jour, and for good reason. They earn a gold star in the classroom of transitional dressing. They pair equally as well with spindly tanks in a heat wave as they do with striped long-sleeve T-shirts in September or yummy sweaters come November.
I’m partial to A-line cotton maxi skirts, but the options abound. Perhaps you prefer a tiered boho style or a sleek pencil variety. Maybe you’re interested in a drawstring linen skirt or a simple denim sheath. You can select anything from midi skirts to maxi skirts—as long as we cross the threshold of mid-thigh. If your interest is piqued, continue scrolling. We’ve rounded up our favorite white long skirts on the market.
