This summer, I've found myself reaching for skirts more than any other year. The ease, the styling possibilities, and the innate pretty appeal that skirts possess have had me restyling my reliable broderie anglaise option over and over again. As the only skirt in my wardrobe, it's spent the past few months working overtime, and when hunting for a new style, I looked to inspiration from stylish fashion people as well as our readers and spotted one delicate style cropping up more than most: the Reformation Carolina Silk Skirt (£218).
Lace-trimmed skirts have been on the rise this year, with the sheer lace styles that flourished in spring, and now the silk styles are taking over for those who want a little more coverage and a more luxurious finish. The slip skirt has remained a constant in our staple wardrobes for many years, but the lace addition feels even more fitting for 2025. There's no denying that we're in the midst of a boho summer, and even as we move into the new season, we'll still be spotting pretty details of lace, embroidery and ruffles featuring on everything from blouses to dresses, and Reformation's elegant skirt will fit right in.
Made from a lightweight 100% silk fabric, this skirt is primed to move seamlessly from our summer wardrobes into our autumn outfits. The midi silhouette is classic, with a softly fitted shape that skims the silhouette. For the current climate, I'm already picturing this as the standout piece to take my wardrobe staples to all new heights. An easy tank top and sandals come to mind first, followed by a graphic Tee and retro sneakers for a more off-duty feel. When the cooler autumn days finally arrive, consider contrasting the smooth silk with a chunky knit and boots, or simply layer in a pared-back long-sleeved top and mules for a more elegant take. Currently, the skirt comes in seven colourways from timeless black to playful pink, as well as a striking polka dot style that I can't believe is still in stock.
