the mini skirt
We may not be going as short as Lucy Williams in her decadent bow-mini above, but mini styles can still be a good option for summer – especially when paired with something low-key cool like a blue shirt, a boxy blazer or a long-sleeved blouse. Denim skirt, €69; www.arket.com.
the slip skirt
A slip-style skirt in satin or silk can be dressed up with heels for after-dark or played down with a crew-neck jumper or simple tank for daywear. Orla satin midi-skirt, €119; www.sineadkeary.com.
the denim skirt
Ankle-grazing denim skirts have been in all summer, we’ll be looking to those that cut a little higher, closer to the calf, and pairing ours with espadrilles or ballet flats. Denim midi-skirt, €39.99, at Mango.
the printed skirt
Nothing says summer like wearing a colourful, citrusy skirt that nods to Balearic dressing. Pair this striped one with a co-ordinating top or wear it with just your swimsuit on holidays. Striped linen maxi skirt, Faithfull The Brand + Monikh, €269; www.net-a-porter.com.
the full skirt
Skirts with movement, whether it’s a full shape or a tiered style, reign supreme right now. Pair yours with thong sandals and a white tee for a high-low look. Josette skirt, Ulla Johnson, €470, at Samui.
She is the queen of no makeup makeup and even manages to make a smokey eye look subtle. When everyone else was going for heavy contour and laminated eyebrows, she continued to promote enhancing your natural features with simple tricks and smart product placement. If you have seen any of her videos, you will notice how little product she actually uses. Even Victoria Beckham commented how surprised she was when she went to remove her makeup after a shoot with Lisa on how little product was applied.
