Maxi or mid-length breezy skirts are really having a moment this year, falling in line with the summer fashion trends of 2024. With stars such as Eva Mendes, Helen Skelton, and even Jo Whiley wearing skirts to create outfits that give off an effortless daytime chic.
Flowy skirt silhouettes are also an excellent choice if you're looking for styles to flatter your body shape. Your waist is highlighted by the cinched in detailing of a waistband, and the contrasting looser fabric in the skirt creates a fabulous hourglass shape.
