A Mini Moment
Thanks to brands like Miaou and Miu Miu, the micro miniskirt resurgence isn’t showing signs of slowing down, despite how polarizing it tends to be. To balance a statement sequined mini, pair it with a casual graphic T-shirt.

The New Cargo
Maxi, midi, mini, and denim—the cargo skirt has returned in eclectic silhouettes that modernize this early-’00s trend. One thing that makes it more attractive, in addition to the nostalgic vibe, is how easy it is to style. Tank tops, button-ups, sneakers, and mules all pair well with this must-have.

Head-to-Toe Essentials
In the midst of summer, when outfit ideas are running thin and temperatures are skyrocketing, we always have the essentials to fall back on. A classic tank top—now as much of a luxury item as it is a basic—paired with well-fitting trousers is a match that knows no bounds. Stay logo-less, or indulge in Loewe or Miu Miu’s insignia-stamped options.
