And Now, the Top 3 Affordable Skirt Trends of the Year

Inflation is up, and my clothing budget is down. As much as I’d like to splurge on designer pieces, I’d rather get more bang for my buck and stick to under-$100 pieces this summer. Luckily, brands such as H&M, Zara, and Mango know exactly what I want right now: on-trend skirts with reasonable price tags.

As far as I’m concerned, there are three main skirt trends to know about this year: A-line midis (á la Prada), rib-knit maxis, and tennis minis. The trio of trends should cover you for just about any activity this summer, from beach picnics to date nights. Scroll down to shop my favorite affordable skirt trends.
