Aside from my relaxed jeans and blazers, a staple I turn to often in my closet has always been a great skirt. Whether packing for vacation or rushing to figure out a work outfit, the collection of skirts I’ve spent years gathering has always solved any fashion issue. Luckily for me and all other skirt fiends, brands have been slightly turning their attention away from pants and turning up the dial on all things skirts. Gone are the days of rummaging through hundreds of pages to find that perfect maxi skirt or getting whatever you could find altered to your liking. Whatever kind of skirt you’re looking for in 2023—you’ll find it. A linen maxi to battle the 90-degree weather? Check. A micro-mini to channel your inner Miu Miu? Check. A Classic black midi skirt that would make office dressing so much easier? Triple check.
Since the current fashion cycle runs faster than ever, I have a small feeling the current focus on skirts won’t stick around forever. But if you’re like me and know that despite the trend, skirts will be in your wardrobe for years to come, the options below are the creme de la creme from every category. Keep scrolling to find your pick.

Hello, gorgeous!
I don’t own much white denim but clearly have been missing out. I’m just now realizing how versatile it can be.
