If you’re someone who loves a skirt moment or swaps one in from time to time to replace jeans or trousers, you’re going to be quite intrigued at what’s coming your way. Yep, there’s a slew of outfit inspiration featuring skirts ahead. Specifically, I decided to focus on the simple tops the fashion crowd is pairing with a variety of skirt silhouettes right now. 

Given that basics are often the foundational elements in a wardrobe, it’s no surprise that style setters are reaching for elevated basics to create chic skirt ensembles. Furthermore, skirts are elevated, in general, so that perfect skirt silhouette doesn’t need much other than a simple top. Keep scrolling for all of that and more, complete with a smattering of product recommendations if you’re in the mood for a bit of shopping. 

An oversize sweater teamed with a slip skirt is an effortless outfit formula fashion people swear by.

Consider a simple white tee with that of-the-moment miniskirt for a simple yet forward look. The trench takes the outfit to the next level.

A relaxed button-down shirt is a modern staple and looks cool with any skirt style. 

A ribbed knit—more specifically one with buttons like this style—falls in that elevated basics category and feels effortlessly elegant with a midi skirt.

Don’t underestimate the power of a classic tank top teamed with your favorite skirt (like this maxi style). Easy and chic.
