Skirts are probably one of the easiest things to pull on in the summer, as they can go over a bikini easily, you can wear them during the day and at night… but I guess you could say that for anything so in this post I will be talking about these specific skirts which I think are perfect for hot, summer weather- something I have truly, truly been looking forward to during this depressing, rainy exam period. I personally own about 20 skirts, in different colours and fabrics, ranging from red velvet to denim to a panelled leather skirt- but I would say some skirts are more versatile for different types of weather than others. Here are a couple of Mango skirts I would recommend…

Mango High-waist short flared skirt

This 100% cotton, blue spotty skirt is at £34.90, which I would say is a perfectly reasonable price for a skirt. Not too cheap that you might have suspicions about the level of quality and the ethical background of the skirt, but not so expensive that you think you are paying more than you should. It comes in sizes 4-14, and because it is high waisted and flared at the bottom, it is really flattering in terms of making your waist look small, and your legs look dainty- as well as hiding any extra tummy you might have!

DAY: Unlike the picture, during the day I would either team this top with a plain white shirt or a totally different print, such as zebra or maybe even leopard. This season it is totally okay to mix patterns and go a little crazy.

NIGHT: At night time I could go a little more classy and team it with a sheer black blouse, with a black lace bandeau bra and some statement earrings with neutral or black coloured sandals.

Mango High-waist skirt with oversize patch pockets

This skirt is slightly more expensive at £39.90, and *shock  horror* it’s made out of ORANGE LINEN. But somehow it works. Never been a fan of linen, but this looks so light and summery, I may be changing my opinion on it. Would it matter if this skirt was terribly creased? Nope. I actually think it would work really well in an ‘I-am-not-high-maintenance’ sort of way.

DAY: With a white tank top and some simple sandals I think this would be a great day look, especially with some cool black or tortoise shell, vintage sunglasses.

NIGHT: Once again a plain or patterned blouse/shirt would look amazing with this! I would probably go for black although white would look cool as well. I would wear this with my hair up in a messy bun and a nice silky headband, with some green or purple wedges for a nice change.

See a link? I clearly think flared skirts are the way forward for the summer, nice and airy, and so easy to wear :]
