Once we’re done with winter, we feel justified in splurging a little on a feel-good wardrobe for the warm-weather seasons. And as much as we love all the sartorial possibilities that accompany spring — swingy dresses, bucket hats, jumpsuits — we find that one piece, in particular, does a lot of heavy lifting in our closets. We’re talking about the all-occasion skirt. It’s that one skirt that can be dressed up for a summer wedding or paired with a button-down for work.
This season, the risqué pencil skirt, khaki skirt and other trends are all set to bloom. If you want to wear some summery, flowy skirts to wear to work, dinner, events and everything in between, we’ve got some picks for you.
