Jeans are a wardrobe staple. Yet when the temperatures start to climb in the dog days of summer, a summer skirt becomes the line leader. A light, breezy skirt can be just as versatile and so much more comfortable than denim.

Heading to brunch with friends, enjoying a vacation or simply running errands- the right summer skirt can create an effortlessly polished look with minimal effort. Finding outfit ideas for you is our goal and today’s blog post has a round up of summer skirts that are stylish, comfortable and timeless.

We are showcasing examples of the smocked waistline skirt, the bias cut skirt, the pencil skirt and the maxi skirt. Our hope is to help you find a look for right now. Let’s see what we found.

Summer Skirts That Will Make You Forget Your Jeans: Stylish Looks for Every Woman

One of the biggest advantages of summer skirts is their incredible versatility. With just a simple change of shoes or accessories, the same skirt can take you from a casual afternoon to an evening dinner. Choose fabrics like cotton, linen, satin and blends.

Smocked Waist Summer Skirts

The stretchy waistband of a smocked skirt is the epitome of comfort while still leaning on style. A smocked waist summer skirt can be dressed up or down. They are a favorite in the swimsuit coverup category. Included in the above collage, is a styled skirt for a casual swimsuit coverup look or an OOTD. Our favorites include the Madewell skirt and more in the carousel below. Love the set from Nordstrom- click here and here.

Bias Cut Summer Skirts

The bias cut skirt is one of the most flattering pieces in modern fashion. Proportion is the key to looking best in this profile. This profile works best on women who have a rectangular shape. The most popular hem length hits mid calf. Bev’s favorite this summer is the J McLaughlin Adelyn Skirt in the Brown/Coral print. Click on any photo below for more information and details.

Pencil Skirts: Classic Tailoring for a Summer Update

A pencil skirt isn’t just for the office anymore. Today’s profiles are found in lighter, stretchy fabrics and colors- perfect for a summer look. This silhouette creates a polished look for showers, lunch and dinner as well.

We love how this looks when paired with a crisp, white button down shirt (here or here) or a sleeveless tank with a cropped cardigan. Toss a blazer over your shoulders for a professional look.

Maxi Skirts- The Ultimate Summer Favorite

We feel maxi skirts work beautifully for a casual look or for an elegant event held in summer. Their effortless appeal makes them a true choice.

We styled the above skirt for an elevated event. This taffeta skirt makes a statement with the side slit and bow. Paired with either the satin halter or the iconic white blouse, this look of effortless elegance is a stunner. Accessorize with colorful jewelry and a clutch to stand out. Check below for a few more stylish summer skirts.


Jeans will always have a place in our closets, however, give them a well deserved break right now. Summer is the perfect time to wear this lighter and versatile alternative- the summer skirt.

Embrace this look during the warmer days of summer. Be the best you in every season.
