8 Ways to wear a skater skirt

Versatile, ever-trendy, and universally flattering: Few pieces of clothing hit this fashionable trifecta quite like the skater skirt. Fitted at the waist and flared out into an A-line silhouette, (reminiscent of a figure skating outfit—hence the name!) this classic staple comes in an endless array of fabrics, colors, and patterns, meaning there's a version out there to suit ever personality and solve any wardrobe dilemma. They're season-less, but we particularly love them in mini lengths and pretty colors for summer.

#1: Ashley Tisdale: black and white ensemble
 This organza skirt is totally versatile. A cute tee and moto boots would create the ideal outfit for a day out downtown, but we're loving this posh ensemble—Ashley's crisp white blouse, structured jacket, and edgy heels dress up the wardrobe essential.

#2: Stephanie Scott's pattern play

A basic skirt sporting a sweet print is a total closet must. Layer up with different motifs and textures for a whimsical daytime getup, or stick with complementary solids for a fun yet polished look.

#3 Rihanna's cool color ( personally my favorite)


 
Lending itself to both the neon and pastel trends we're seeing this season, it's no wonder minty blue is one of summer's most sought-after hues. Rihanna's off-stage style has been on the sportier side lately, but we love her A-line skirt paired with a breezy blouse.

#4 Ariana Grande's Sweet pleats ( loved it!)

Ariana is all about girly-chic both on and off the red carpet, so she knows how to rock a pretty skirt with aplomb. Here, white pleats add a ballerina flavor to her baby pink pumps and floral top.

#5 Emma Robert's blue jean twist ( the worst for me)

Think of this as an on-trend upgrade from your standby cutoff shorts. Dress up a denim circle skirt the same way you would your favorite pair of skinny jeans, or top it off with a basic tee for a super-easy outfit.

#6 Jade Thirwall's rockabilly take:
 
 
The Little Mix member brings kitschy, retro flavor to her black leather version with a collared blouse, a perky hairbow, and baby pink oxfords paired with ankle socks.

#7 Taylor Swift's preppy perfection  ( madly in love with it!)

 Taylor has proved her fashion chops onstage and on the red carpet, but we have to give her major props for making us want to sport sneakers with flippy skirts, like, all the time. Her contrasting blues, vintage sunnies, and bright white low tops are totally boardwalk-ready.

#8 Miranda Cosgrove's Luxe version



 A cool quilted pattern and a banded hem glam up this style staple. Miranda goes for a monochrome statement with a graphic tee and fabulous peep-toe platforms.
