If there’s one thing that’s always on rotation for me summer after summer, it’s a printed skirt. Whether it’s an intricate border, printed panels, a knot at the waist, or an unexpected color, these are the pieces my whole summer look tends to get grounded in. 

And there are so many variations. A wrap feels ready for the water without staying there. A printed column shape takes a white tee to dinner. A fuller cotton A-line has that market-to-lunch ease that feels so quintessentially summer.

The print doesn’t need to be the loudest part of the outfit, especially when it has the right placement. It can trace a hem, frame the hips, fall in tiers, or swing with each step. The right print does the work without asking for much above it, so a tank suddenly has a reason or a bikini top becomes part of the look.
