As summer winds down, it’s time to start thinking about ways to transition our wardrobes. Surefire staples that offer versatility are key to mastering the in-between season. Here at Vogue, the white maxi- and midiskirt happens to be the item that we’re all taking from summer to fall.
I actually had a twinning moment with one of my colleagues a few days ago. We both took our mid-length skirts for a spin and paired them with one of the It items of the season: a tailored vest. Since then, I’ve noticed quite a few editors are turning to the timelessness of the white skirt right now. From the column-esque denim maxi by Raey to the voluminous allure of full poplin designs by Hill House Home, the white skirt has fully infiltrated the Vogue office, and there’s no doubt that it will continue to do so throughout the fall, especially since there are so many ways to style the coveted item.
Pair one with a soft knit crewneck sweater, or elevate it with a sharp leather blazer: The options are endless. We’ve gathered six undeniably chic ways to wear a white midi- and maxiskirt, and we’re sharing the details on several of our favorite styles ahead. Get into the minimalist closet staple to instantly elevate your transitional-dressing outfits now.
