Whether you’re headed to the office or hitting the beach, skirts are versatile enough for almost any occasion. Mix and match casual or classic tops with some of our favorite skirts for summer and you’ll be ready for your day, wherever it takes you.
Flower Power: Take your cue from film noir with a classic black-and-white skirt (This skirt even has pockets, so you can stash your keys or lipstick. The most obvious options for accessories are black and white, but you could also spice things up with a pair of red peep-toe pumps or a jewel-toned top, especially after hours. A bright-colored tank and floppy hat give this skirt a casual feel for a weekend outing or an evening BBQ. Dress it up with heels and a sexy top for a more formal soiree.

Something Blue: This A-line skirt from Ann Taylor packs a punch with its bright colors and bold print. Its geometric design is less feminine than a floral, so you can add some girly accessories and play up the curvy lines. Perhaps pearls and a crisp white blouse for the office or beaded flip-flops and a black tank for drinks at a patio bar. (Colorblock Stripe Silk Print Skirt, $49.99; anntaylor.com)
Add Some Flare: Though this flared linen skirt from Spiegel comes in four different colors (deep purple, black, neutral, or white), we’re partial to white because it goes with everything and screams summer. The white skirt is lined so you won’t have to worry about those Hanky Panky boy shorts showing through. A patterned blouse and kitten heels are perfect for day, but feel free to get creative after hours. For a picnic on the beach or an outdoor concert, pair it with a sequined tank or graphic tee.

Go Gray: With its smart sheen, this pencil skirt gives you even more fashion flexibility than that LBD. Put on some T-strap pumps and a colorful cardigan for a retro work look, then swap the pumps for gold strappy sandals and ditch the cardie after work. Add a black halter top (or another shirt in a contrasting color) and a pair of chandelier earrings for a glamorous night on the town. (Stretch Sateen Pencil Skirt, $88; jcrew.com)
