It's part of my job as Contributing Fashion Editor to try on the best items and , so I can tell you which ones are worth investing in and which ones aren't. So far, I've covered , and , and today I've turned my attention to - maxi ones to be precise. While they naturally fall into the timeless capsule category, they are very much having a moment this season, on and off the catwalk.
There are many different styles you can go with, but per my experience, there are five styles I would recommend for SS24 and beyond. These are all pictured in the main image, from left to right: the bubble skirt, the denim skirt, the boho skirt, the straight skirt and the linen skirt. The one thing they all have in common is the length.
This season, it has to be floor-length, or ankle grazing at least. The bubble skirt, also seen on many dresses this season, gives Y2K vibes, especially paired with a bandana top - disc belt optional. Denim skirts have been everywhere these past couple of seasons, but for the summer, we're steering away from the classic blue washes.
I also love the pleat in the Massimo Dutti skirt I tried, which makes it a little dressier and more office-appropriate. It's hard to miss the boho trend revival, mainly thanks to Chemena Kamali's new vision of Chloe, so I've included a broderie anglaise skirt here, although a floaty style will do as well. A simple straight maxi skirt in cotton or linen is the perfect minimalist take on the trend, as is a linen skirt, in all cuts.
You will.
