There’s something so immensely practical about this skirt. Make no mistake – I am wearing a skirt and top here, not a dress – which has all kinds of additional styling possibilities – but the real reason I keep coming back to the skirt is because it. just. works.
This skirt works because it’s longer in back, yet still shows a little leg (or a lot: hello, wind). The vibe is youthful and fun, yet I can sit on barstools and wicker chairs without fear of imprints on the back of my legs.
It’s also basically a wrap skirt, and the advantage here is that you can wrap it around your real waist for a leggy, high-rise look (SO good with cropped tops), or wrap it a little more loosely around your hips (circa 2003) and nonchalantly tuck in a tee.
