Fabrics
In summer, when choosing a fabric, the main thing is not how dense and warm it is, but how well it passes air and absorbs moisture. Therefore, for the warm season, we try to choose things in which we will be as comfortable as possible in the heat. Of course, preference is given to materials with a predominantly natural composition. Let's look at some of the best fabrics that are perfect for sewing summer skirts.
- Silk. Natural silk in the summer heat gives a pleasant feeling of coolness. Due to the unique composition and production characteristics of this material, a summer silk skirt turns into a rather expensive pleasure. However, the beauty and durability of natural silk products pays a high price for them.
- Cotton. This fabric, by contrast, is one of the most affordable and affordable. Due to its excellent quality characteristics, it is used for sewing children's clothing. Cotton is very pleasant to the body, it does not cause irritation and is completely unpretentious in leaving.
- Linen. This natural material has been known to mankind since ancient times. Flax shirts and sundresses were still worn by our distant ancestors. Since then, flax has not lost its popularity, although its production technology has undergone significant changes. Clothing made from this fabric is incredibly comfortable in the heat, but remember that it is very wrinkled.

Beautiful models
Among the whole variety of summer assortment of skirts, we advise you to pay attention to some of the most spectacular and original options.
Knitted
Openwork clothing always attracts attention. In the summer, it is especially relevant, since it is at this time of the year that a lot of informal outdoor activities await us. Going to the beach or on a picnic in the park, put on a knitted skirt, and then you definitely will not go unnoticed.
Floral print
Floral patterns - one of the most popular colors for summer clothes. When everything around is blooming and fragrant, one wants to take part in the general riot of colors too. The choice of patterns with floral themes is very large: it can be both small, delicate ornaments, and large, bright prints.
Juicy colors
In the summer (and not only) color should be one of the main tools for creating an unforgettable image. Take a closer look at the skirts of lemon yellow, turquoise, coral, lilac, scarlet, apple and other rich colors.
Forget the boring, monochrome gamut reminiscent of office workdays. It's time to remember the most beautiful, saturated shades of the color spectrum.
Flying silhouettes
Thin, lightweight fabrics that allow good air permeability and allow the skin to breathe are great for tailoring airy skirts.
Each girl will be able to turn into a fabulous, unearthly creature, if she wears a skirt of the finest, freely flowing matter.
Fashionable styles
Each new fashion season, designers and stylists give preference to certain specific styles of skirts. Let's see what models will be at the peak of popularity this summer.
Lush
Already not the first season, fluffy skirts remain relevant. The volume can be achieved in different ways, for example, through the use of several layers of fabric (skirt-tutu or skirt-balloon), or due to the features of the cut (skirt-sun or skirt-bell).
Narrow
Tight-fitting skirts are usually associated with business style. The most common variety of such skirts is a pencil skirt, which managed to become a real classic of women's wardrobe. With short narrow skirts, one should be careful, as they inevitably attract attention to the lower body.
Free
Combined skirts do not constrain movements, so in the summer they are always in demand, especially among adherents of an active lifestyle. Loose fit is commonly found on maxi skirts or mid-length models.
Models of an asymmetric cut look interesting - with a hem shortened on one side and elongated on the other.
Length
One of the important parameters for choosing a skirt is the length of the product. You need to consider not only the features of your figure, but also the format of the event at which you plan to appear in the new thing. Each length, whether mini, midi or maxi, has its own characteristics.
To the floor
Long skirts have many obvious benefits. Firstly, they completely hide the legs, so you can not worry about the (imaginary or real) flaws of this part of the body. Secondly, they protect from the scorching sun. Finally, maxi skirts have the ability to visually stretch a figure.
Midi
Mid-length skirts are a universal option for different occasions. Many stylists consider this length ideal, since it is shown with almost any complexion. This season, it is worth paying attention to flared and pleated models that recall fashion trends of the middle of the last century.
Short
Mini skirts are a subject of special love for almost all young girls. Indeed, if it is possible to demonstrate beautiful, slender legs to the world, then why not use it? Moreover, there are not so many warm days to do this without damage to health. Drapery skirts and layered models are relevant this summer.
What to wear?
There are as many options for combinations that can be created on the basis of summer skirts as the styles of these skirts. Depending on the model of the “bottom”, you can choose a simple T-shirt, a T-shirt with a print, a denim shirt or a strict blouse as the upper part of the ensemble. Do not forget about a variety of original tops.
Even on hot summers, cool, rainy days happen. Therefore, a light outfit can be insulated with a denim jacket, a casual jacket, a thin flight jacket, or even a sports sweatshirt.
Accessories will help to complement the look: bright scarves, unusual hats, stylish jewelry and, of course, bags, which can be of different styles and sizes.
Footwear
Summer skirts are perfectly combined with any shoe, except, perhaps, completely “winter” options. The classic version is a skirt with graceful sandals or light ballet shoes. However, in the office it may well be classic shoes.
To go to the beach, you can change into comfortable sandals or slates. Sports shoes form a very interesting combination with some models of skirts, so we also do not exclude sneakers and sneakers from the list.
