Cute skirts and dresses for summer 2026

If there’s one thing that has surprised my fashion-editor colleagues most about me, it’s that I don’t currently own a pair of jeans. To be clear, I have owned and worn jeans throughout my lifetime, just not in recent years. Instead, I gravitate towards skirts and dresses, and my summer uniform is no exception.

In the warmer months, I gravitate towards natural materials like cotton and silk because they feel light and breathable in the heat. Some of my most-worn pieces this past spring and summer were Koo Koo’s pointelle and cotton-voile midi dress, along with its matching tank-top-and-knee-length-skirt set.
