LINEN LOVERS

Let’s face it: Denim shorts, while practical for weekends at the cabin gardening and swimming, tend to look a little sloppy for the city, which is why we tend to prefer linen these days. Relaxed and lightweight, a great pair like these pleated olive green ones from Frame are as comfortable and versatile as denim, but with the added benefit of looking chic with a blazer, T-shirt, or even a pretty blouse.

THE LONG AND THE SHORT

Shorts may intuitively seem inappropriate for the office, but that doesn’t have to be the case: the trick is to look for a pair that covers most of your thigh and doesn’t look silly with a pair of loafers or shorts. heel pumps. This Sahaveny pair from Samsøe Samsøe is ideal, not only for its professional-style pinstripes, but because you can swap out your trusty black dress pants for these and be ready for anything, all season long.

EARN YOUR STRIPES

If you can’t go past linen in the summer months, you might like this coral striped wrap skirt. The print gives the piece a distinctly beachy, warm-weather feel, and we think it’s the perfect piece for Saturday errands and Sunday brunch. Try it with a plain white t-shirt and sneakers, or a denim jacket and sandals for a casual yet sophisticated look.

DENIM, BUT MAKE IT LIGHT

It was just a while before the long denim skirt was back in magazines and trend reports everywhere (because we didn’t really have Feeds the last time they came out, remember?). This time, however, they are a little more elegant than the last. Opt for a long style with a high slit or opt for a shorter, slightly lighter midi version like this stone-colored one from Joe Fresh’s WOMEN+ line.

ON THE STAIRS

Even if you’re currently working primarily from home, an asymmetrical skirt is a must: dressy enough if you have a last-minute interview or in-person meeting, but not so corporate that you can’t wear it to a dinner with friends. This Ladder pleated style from Babaton is made from a matte draped satin; Pair it with sneakers and a loose sweatshirt for a casual look, or mesh flats and a fitted blouse for a more modern look.
