8 Ways to Wear a Skater Skirt (Inspired by Stylish Stars!)
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. Check out some of our favorite celebs wearing theirs, and tell us about your top pick in the comments!

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.

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.
