There are no rules in skirts right now. The mini made a triumphant return for spring, reentering the fashion conversation in dangerously short lengths on the runway of Miu Miu. But super short is hardly the only game in town. Midi pencil skirts are also back, thanks mostly to Saint Laurent. And summer just wouldn't be summer without a breezy maxi in the mix. Whether you're in the market for something terry cloth and flirty, silky and mid length, or long and bohemian, we have a summer skirt for you.
