This Is the Skirt Fashion People Are Going to Be Wearing for the Next 6 Months

It's always been wild to me how long we've held on to the age-old idea of not wearing white until Memorial Day. To see this rule fall by the wayside as of late has been a much-welcome change. One trending piece, in particular, is the perfect example of this: white maxi skirts. It's just about the end of summer now, but there hasn't been a day that I haven't scrolled past some iteration of the style while on Instagram. It's clear the fashion crowd will continue wearing these skirts straight through fall.
With the help of stylish layers (sweaters, jackets, etc.) and spring-ready shoe styles (sandals, flats, etc.), a long white skirt can easily become a chic transitional piece. Keep scrolling to check out my favorite white maxi-skirt outfits and to shop each look. From tiered pieces to voluminous cuts, there is an option to fit every personal style.
