SKIRTS IN FASHION FOR SUMMER 2024 AND THE PRETTIEST SKIRTS TO BUY IMMEDIATELY
And here it is – the list of the must have skirts for summer 2024. The list of the most fashionable skirts of the season.
1 WHITE MIDI LACE SKIRT
Let’s start with this season’s most trending skirt – the white midi lace skirt.
Not so long ago, thought of as being outdated, a white midi lace skirt made quite a comeback for spring 2024. Btw you can find the most affordable at Bloomingdale’s.
But are you ready to take your style to the next level? The key is in the execution and styling. The results are true contemporary classics – always tasteful and forever boho chic.
You will need to dress up your white midi lace skirt with a blazer (on cold summer days) or a blouse and heels for a night out, or pair it with a halterneck and a black sunhat for a casual day at the beach. It will be perfect for all occasions, and its unique style will make you stand out in a sea of ordinary fashion.
Point of view, when fashion moves on, it goes in the entirely opposite direction. And in 2024, fashion will go toward the high low.
A boho high low white midi lace skirt is set to be the key fashion trend for summer 2024 spotted on everyone’s for you page.
Imagine the summer sun beating down, warming your skin as the music pulsates through the air. You twirl in your white midi lace skirt and long sleeve tee. The intricate lace catches the golden light, your favourite pattern momentarily ablazes before fading back into the pristine white. The summer wind whips through your hair, carrying with it the sweet scent of Chanel Coco Mademoiselle deodorant to mask the sweat, but you don’t care. You close your eyes, letting the music and the rhythm make you lose yourself.
Suddenly, you feel a hand on your back. You freeze for a moment, heart pounding a frantic rhythm against your ribs. It’s him, your high school crush. A jolt of electricity shoots through you, chasing away the heat of the desert sun with a different kind of warmth.
He leanes in closer, whispering something against your ear that gets lost in the din of the music. You don’t care. All you can feel is the solid press of his body against yours, the rapid rise and fall of his chest.
The world spins around you in a kaleidoscope of colors. The setting sun paints the dusty ground in shades of fiery crimson. Beads of sweat trickle down your face, mingling with the glitter decorating your cheekbones. The air vibrates with the thumping bass, the ground pulsing beneath your feet.
He turns you around slowly, his eyes searching yours. They are the color of the twilight sky, deep and mysterious. A nervous laugh bubbles up from your throat, lost in the wind, whipping through your hair and white lace.

2 3D FLORAL AND BOW EMBELLISHED SKIRT
I’m obsessed with this 3D embroidered pencil skirt – it’s a perfect skirt for a birthday party. Or take a more sophisticated approach with this silk Prada pencil skirt with hand-embroidered roses and flowers – it’s the most beautiful skirt of the season.
Look modern in a full 3D embroidered white skirt paired with a baby cardigan and Mary Janes or pointy kitten heels for a boujee church look.
Or prepare for the season ahead by snapping up a linen skirt with hand-embroidered roses and flowers, that will match seamlessly with what you already own. It’s the perfect way to show off your figure in a tasteful and stylish way, and it’s sure to turn heads wherever you go.
The 3D embellished skirt is a skirt trend we’ve been tracking since SS24 and we see it again on AW24/25 catwalks at Patou and Rotate who played on romantic references, updating the skirt with shorter length.
You can go a step further and embellished the skirt with bows. Bow stacking is the latest take on the 3D embellished skit trend. Bows add a girlie touch to the boujee feminine look, making it more excpetional and fun to dress up or down.
You can buy the skirt I the picture above here.
3 FULL MIDI BUTTER YELLOW SKIRT
Lean into the uplifting summertime mood with a butter yellow wardrobe. Pov, days of celebrating require an equally exuberant wardrobe. Relish in full midi butter yellow skirt that is topping every girlie’s wish list. I already got mine. Cringe, I bought it here – the price was ridiculous, and I feel guilty, but the quality is good according to my seamstress (she had to take in a few centimetres – the size is accurate, though, but I’m super skinny). It should last me ages. Pov, I won’t wash it as often as this fabulous summer butter yellow skirt that I have just bought. It’s a one and done skirt you can wear from the garden to the beach.
Also, the fullness of the skirt allows for ease of movement, making it perfect for outdoor events or activities.
Plus, you can easily dress it up or down with the right accessories, making it a versatile addition to your wardrobe.
In terms of art, a full midi butter yellow skirt can be a work of art in itself! There are many patterns to choose from – all in butter yelow, ranging from textured patterns to bold prints and delicate florals. You can express your personal style and taste through the skirt you choose.
Again, I bought this full butter yellow skirt for daily activities, but you might also want this full butter yellow skirt that comes with a matching jacket and forms the morning dress for formal daytime events like a church wedding or afternoon tea. On the other hand, this butter yellow full midi skirt that is fashionable now and will transition well into early fall 2024 for everyday or special events (ps. you might want to get this Bottega Veneta knitted butter yellow skirt for everyday). Ps. You will love the movement of the skirt that adds an extra bit of playfulness and flair to your outfit. But what really sets this skirt apart is its ability to make a statement. You’ll be the envy of all your friends as you strut your stuff in this trendy piece, garnering compliments left and right.
I also love this skirt in the picture below so much - buy here.
4 MAXI DENIM SKIRT WITH FISHTAIL
A column denim skirt is a skirt trend we’ve been tracking for way too long now. And it is finally showing the first signs of going down. While long column denim skirt with a slit or lace panels is still fashionable for summer 2024, it is time to move on towards new silhouettes – barrel denim skirt or maxi denim skirt with fishtail.
Denim skirts look the newest with a fishtail, called out as a key item in Milan and New York. Etro and Ralph Lauren played on 2000s references, updating the skirt with a fishtail and high low hem.
Celebrities are looting this trend, and it’s clear that this is the trend you simply won’t be able to escape from in the foresight future (pov if your glass ball doesn’t show fall), It’s a style that’s here to stay until barrel denim skirts fill for you page.
But for now, it’s the fishtail denim skirt you need to own.
Btw, the main difference between a trumpet skirt and a skirt with a mermaid hem lies in the degree of flare and the point at which the flare begins. A trumpet skirt has a more gradual flare that starts around the mid-thigh or knee, offering greater ease of movement and versatility. In contrast, a skirt with a mermaid hem features a highly dramatic flare that begins below the knees, creating a bold and formal look often seen in elegant eveningwear and bridal attire. But they are both in fashion for summer 2024.
Like it or not (I honestly didn’t at first – pov still don’t very much) – but this Etro fishtail denim skirt is giving – it has buttons in the back, but comes with contrast stitching that is a key feature for AW24/25.
Luckily, with the right styling, a maxi denim skirt with fishtail can work for anyone. While the long mermaid silhouette is both flattering and versatile, the denim fabric makes it perfect for dressing up or down.
Imagine wearing this maxi mermaid denim skirt to brunch with friends, paired with a simple white t-shirt and kitten heels. Or, matched with a statement blouse and silver sandals for a night out. Or styled with a denim jacket and sneakers when walking down the Grands Boulevards shopping for boujee gifts to bring from Paris. The possibilities are endless, and with the right accessories, you can make this skirt suit you. Worry not; I will show you how.
By now, we all know we will find the best denim skirts at MyTheresa, Net-a-Porter and ModaOperandi. Here is my pick.

5 SKIRT WITH A DROPPED WAIST
Optimise your wardrobe by investing in a skirt with a dropped waist that will never disappoint, and you can wear it to work. Look to midi lengths and tested silhouettes, destined to become mainstays you reach for party or work.
From office to events, a skirt with a dropped waist will be the most reliable option in your wardrobe rotation.
Either straight, pleated, full or with strategically placed ruching around the hips that flatters in a fashionable way.

The knee length pencil skirt is the skirt trend to follow blindly. All in all, there’s a marked preference for simple silhouettes that abound with poise and attitude.
Pared-back silhouettes make a big statement when executed in unexpected materials. Get a black knee length pencil skirt if you are looking for a skirt to take you from office desk to the after work drinks at the bar, or shop for Prada mirror-embellished organza knee length skirt to revamp your entire mood with a sensational skirt.

Imagine moonlight streaming through your window, illuminating the swirling floral patterns like constellations on a midnight sky as you slip into your new embellished sheer skirt. You gently trace the outline of embroidery made from hundreds of tiny, shimmering threads and beads. You close your eyes, imagining the artist’s patient fingers weaving their magic, thread by thread.
Nervous excitement flutters in your stomach, as you button up the shirt. You step into kitten heels, give a kiss to your furry baby, grab a purse and rush through the door.
Getting into the Uber, the last rays of the setting sun paint the sky in hues of orange and pink. As you settle into the car, the city lights begin to twinkle to life, throwing a romantic glow onto your skirt.
As the light hits the beads, the silver flowers bring summer to life. They shimmer and sparkle, reflecting the light in a mesmerizing dance.
Or imagine yourself stepping into the room, feeling like a princess in a dreamy, full tulle skirt or a romantic white tulle skirt that’s sure to turn heads.
