Year after year, a piece that I look forward to breaking out each summer is a crisp white cotton skirt. I got one 7 years ago that I adored, before it unfortunately met its fate with a large permanent stain. This type of skirt has been having a big moment this summer (love when classic items become “on trend”) , so I’ve been hell bent on finding a good replacement!
After striking out on several in terms of fit and quality, I came across this one from a new-to-me brand. I didn’t know what to expect in terms of sizing and quality, but the skirt turned out to be everything I’ve been searching for! I paid $90 + shipping and it just went on sale for an additional 50% off (code SAVE50), which I think is a steal for a timeless, well-made piece. It’s fully stocked right now, so don’t sleep on this one!
After having success with the skirt sizing, I found myself browsing other sale items from VV. They also have another white cotton midi skirt that looks very similar in structure & fit with unique detailing.
Below are a few ways to style, and you can see some of these looks in motion in this video:
I’ve been obsessed with this combo, which pairs a little menswear via the vest with a little feminine via the Mary Janes and full skirt. The similar vest linked is another slim-fit option in a knit fabric. Love the higher neckline and split bottom on that one!
As a vest alternative, here’s a few non-boring black tops I own and love that look great tucked into this skirt:
Formula: sleek eye-catching top + minimal strappy heels + small handbag
I’ve been searching for cream minimal sandals and have been very happy with these so far! They didn’t require breaking in and the low kitten heel is easy to walk in. See this recent outfit where I paired the exact same top, sandals, and handbag with jeans for a different look.
Formula: Button-up shirt + slingbacks
For a more business vibe, this skirt looks chic with almost any button-up shirt I’ve tried, including oxford blue, striped, linen, and more. For a more professional look, I’d tuck the shirt in all the way around instead of knotting it at the waist.
Formula: Stripe tee + linen sweater + cap toe flats
This COS clean cut tee is a premium quality, thicker cotton tee with structure. I am usually xxs, but sized up to xs for the look I wanted. I’ve purchased this tee in several colors and noticed each color differs in fabric feel – this striped one is a little more structured, while the off white color (“light beige”) is super soft!
I also love a lightweight, open weave sweater for summer layering, and Madewell has a good one right now in this neutral linen + a pretty dusty blue – I took XS for a relaxed fit.
Formula: lightweight knit top + flat sandals + straw tote
An oversized straw tote with a skirt like this lends an effortless “south of France” countryside vibe!
