Wearing Skirts Has Become a Lifestyle—30 I Think Are Worth the Purchase

Aside from my relaxed jeans and oversize blazers, a staple I turn to often in my closet has always been a great skirt. Whether I'm packing for vacation or rushing to figure out a work outfit, the collection of skirts I've spent years gathering has always solved any fashion issue. Luckily for me and all other skirt lovers, brands have been diverting their attention away from pants and turning up the dial on all things skirts. Gone are the days of rummaging through hundreds of pages to find that perfect maxi skirt or getting whatever you could find altered to your liking. Whatever kind of skirt you're looking for in 2023, you'll find it. A linen maxi to battle the 90-degree weather? Check. A micro miniskirt to channel your inner Miu Miu girl? Check. A classic black midi skirt that would make office dressing so much easier? Triple check.

Since the current fashion cycle runs faster than ever, I have a feeling the current focus on skirts won't stick around forever. But if you're like me and know that skirts will be in your wardrobe for years to come despite the trend, the options below are the crème de la crème from every category. Keep scrolling to find your pick.

Maxi Skirts

It's decided—this is the chicest under-$100 skirt at Nordstrom right now. 

It's like this skirt was just made for the office. I have to resist wearing it more than twice a week.

H&M has the coolest skirts, but they sell out extremely fast. You might want to think quickly on this one.

Even though this is technically a printed skirt, the stripes are subtle enough that the item can still act as a wardrobe staple. 

Linen always make summer dressing a million times easier.

If I could make my entire wardrobe Dissh, I would. This set is stunning, but I just know this linen skirt will get so much wear.

I've already thought of at least 10 outfit ideas for this skirt in the span of five minutes.

I don't own much white denim but clearly have been missing out. I'm just now realizing how versatile it can be.

The quality of COS's pieces is always impeccable, but the brand's Atelier collections always blow me away.

Midi Skirts

This whole outfit is what I want my vibe to be in the summer—effortless.

The side pocket makes this different and more fashion-forward from the rest of the pencil skirts on the market currently.

Low-rise usually doesn't do it for me, but I love how this sleek satin skirt sits at the hips.

There are a lot of pieces to love from Zara's current sale—this skirt is one of them.

There are many slip skirts on the market, but this J.Crew find is a customer favorite for a reason. The waistband sits comfortably at the waist, and the draping is so sleek.

If you don't own a denim midi skirt yet, take the leap with this one.

I'm not going to lie—this corset detailing left me a little speechless.

I can't help but think about how this skirt would just flawlessly pair with chunky knee-high biker boots. 

Miniskirts

I have yet to meet a person in fashion who isn't a fan of this miniskirt. Reformation always keeps it stocked because it's become such a classic piece in many people's wardrobes.

I love the white, but the zebra-print version of this skirt is also very tempting.

Thanks to hidden paneling, this skort gives the illusion of an ultra-mini hemline without the possibility of flashing anyone.

This outfit may be simple, but the wrap detailing adds an elevated point of interest.

This set is great, but I personally would love to see this skirt paired with a comfy white T-shirt and some ocean-inspired jewelry. 

Even if you aren't vacationing in Italy, this skirt will make it look like you are.

Crochet comes back around every summer, and I don't expect that to stop happening anytime soon.

This is a great choice if you're looking for something that's not as tiny as the micro miniskirts but not knee-length either.
