14 Short Skirts You're Going to Want in Your Closet Right Now

The schoolgirl trend is coming back in full force, and I'm kind of obsessed with the pleated skirt style. This H&M Pleated Skirt ($25) comes in a bunch of colors, but I'm of the opinion that you can't go wrong with basic black. Pair it with a sweater vest for a full schoolgirl moment.

If you're going out at night, you need a fun skirt. I love this ruffled, metallic Lovers and Friends Bernice Skort ($168). It also has an attached shorts lining, so feel free to dance on all the tables you see and not worry about flashing anyone.

How sexy is the belly-button ring on this Lioness Wild at Heart Miniskirt ($59)? It has a matching top, so you could wear it as a skirt set, but it could also be worn with a different crop top you have in your closet. I like being able to see some skin in the ring, but you could style it however you like.

This Zara Mini Skirt ($40) is so sexy and perfect for a night out. I'm loving the strappy cutouts at the waist. Pair it with a crop top so you can really see the waist cutouts, and try an oversize jacket on top if you want a bit more coverage.

I like this sexy Free People Sammy Mini Skirt ($88) for summer or fall. Right now, wear it with a tank and oversize jean jacket, and once fall rolls around, swap that look for sneakers and a sweater or a long-sleeved T-shirt and tall boots. It comes in two other colors, but I love the blue.

A leather skirt is one of those pieces you'll buy now and have for years to come. It'll never go out of style, and I like this Agolde Leather Liv Miniskirt ($228). It's sexy, fun, and elevated for a night out. It has a slight bit of stretch, but not too much.

Corduroy is all over TikTok and Instagram right now and one of the reasons I'm most excited for fall. This Rolla's X Phoebe Tonkin Francoise Cord Mini Skirt ($119) has an autumnal hue and vibe I'm loving. Paired with tall boots, it's the perfect staple seasonal piece.

If you love a short hemline, sometimes it's nice to have some coverage underneath, and that's where a skort comes in. I love the elevated look of this More to Come Demi Wrap Skort ($56). I like the crisscross waistline and think this skirt is so easy to dress up with heels for a night out.

A wrap skirt is a sexy style you can wear all four seasons. I like this Free People Angie Wrap Skirt ($40) because it's adorable, under $50, and so versatile. This style looks just as good with flip-flops and a bathing suit as it does with a sweater and tall boots.

Come fall, a knit miniskirt is a style staple. I like this Wardrobe NYC Ribbed-Knit Cotton-Blend Mini Skirt ($300), particularly as shown here with tall boots. Up top, you could go with a tight sweater or even a T-shirt and blazer or cropped cardigan.

A silk slip skirt is so sexy, and the addition of the slit takes this Reformation Robbie Silk Skirt ($128) to another level. I'm obsessed with this skirt styled with a cute crop top or useful bodysuit. It comes in a few colors and patterns, but basic black is a staple.

You can't go wrong with a classic black miniskirt. This Susana Monaco Slim Miniskirt ($78) is a great under-$100 option and is a pull-on style, which I love. It's comfortable, versatile, and so easy to style. Pick up this cute skirt and have it in your closet forever.

Going somewhere special? You need a fun, sparkly skirt. This Helmut Lang Scale Sequins Skirt ($395) is so whimsical, and I love the way it looks styled with a plain white T-shirt. The skirt is kind of iridescent and mirrored, and I'm obsessed with this unique material.

Tennis skirts are everywhere right now. This Alo Varsity Tennis Skirt ($72) is adorable, and I love the navy hue, but it comes in lots of different colors. You can wear this to run errands or work out or even style it with a cute sweater for a weekend hanging out with friends. It's selling fast, so grab it while you can!
