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.
