Kaia Gerber Wore the Skirt Trend That’s Both Practical and Stylish

Anyone in New York City right now will tell you that getting dressed has been a struggle in this heat—and that’s putting things lightly. When it isn’t raining, it’s 90º or higher with humidity that makes going outside even for a short period of time feel close to impossible. Finding something to wear that doesn’t add to the problem is tricky to say the least, and yet, Kaia Gerber managed to do it with ease. Recently, the model was spotted in SoHo wearing the perfect warm-weather outfit consisting of a loose graphic tee, a white midi skirt, and black Repetto ballet flats. Simple, chic, and airy—what more could you ask for?

Stylish people across the fashion capitals have been relying on Gerber’s skirt trend all summer long, pairing the poplin staple with everything from sneakers to sandals to flats. What makes it so perfect for this weather is how lightweight and billowy it is. Unlike a denim or silk skirt, a white cotton or linen alt won’t stick to your sweaty skin or trap in heat. Instead, it moves with you, all the while appearing effortless and cool with whatever it’s styled with.

If you find yourself just as smitten with white midi skirts as the fashion crowd this summer, keep scrolling. You might just find a few stellar options to add to your warm-weather wardrobe.
