Both in bold florals, these skirt look fantastic with a basic tank or vest that’s simply elegant. Mix things up with platforms and a bi hipster necklace.

The Tracy Reese Pocket Mini Skirt gives me only the best Brady Bunch memories in orange and brown.

This skirt is not for the faint, that’s for sure. A giant striped bow adorns the back with a certain amount of ’80s flair, and we can’t forget about that old denim that looks plucked out of Sixteen Candles! Wear this skirt with flats and huge beads, or consider piling on the brooches and crop tops in an ode to Madonna. You’ll get creative with this piece.

Do I have disco fever? It looks like it! This Lily Skirt has caught my eye with its super decorative detailing, its comfy looking waistline, and slant pockets.

Twill skirts like this Free People Sailor styled don’t have the best reputation, and that needs to change right away. These skirts are, for a lack of a better word, super durable and practical. But that doesn’t make them boring! Take this Free People piece, for example, which has sailor details but extra-strong outer topstitching. It’s a great festival skirt for summer events– to be worn with galoshes or cute, brightly-printed ankle boots.

Contrasting zippers are the next big trend to watch, and 3.1 Phillip Lim is leading the pack. One of their newest creations, the Button Up Skirt, is done in all red with a white zipper up the front.

So don’t be afraid to flaunt something quirky; a skirt like this will help you make your mark as a trendsetter.
