If you thought skirts were hard to match with tops and therefore avoided them at all costs, I’ve got you. The most recent Prada Spring/Summer ’27 show proved that a personality skirt can pack a serious punch, while also offering a surprising number of styling opportunities using things you likely already have in your wardrobe.
To start very simply, a plain tank, tee and shirt in white, grey or black would be the ideal starting point for most of the skirts below. I favour cotton poplin for shirts with minimal or no stretch — cotton that’s not too thick but not see-through either. The ones by Comme Si, although not cheap, look pretty perfect. I like the idea of them tucked in, slightly oversized, and worn with a belt, or even tied at the front to give a very holiday vibe. Just add kitten heel.
In terms of tanks and tees, I don’t buy into the discourse that you need to find “the perfect one”. Truthfully, most ribbed tanks I’ve tried from H&M or Zara are very good, and I don’t think you need to spend a lot more on them. T-shirts are similar, although I do favour soft cotton and a slight baby silhouette right now. Uniqlo are good, as are Cotton On and Leset. You do you in terms of budget and fit.
Perhaps it’s barrel-leg fatigue, but I’m super happy that skirts are back in all forms this season. And yes, we can all wear them. Give them a go and see.
