Skirts Are Dominating All Outfits Right Now – These Are The 6 Trends We Rate

This time of year goes hand-in-hand with dresses, doesn’t it? But while we’ll always have an undeniable love for a cami style or a timeless puff sleeve, it’s skirts that are stealing all of our attention this year. And rightly so, considering we're seeing so many unique and interesting trends as part of the maximalist aesthetic we're all embracing for 2025. Everything feels elevated, will gain glances across a room, and will even make strangers stop to ask you where you got yours from. And the best part is, as we sit somewhere between high summer, with pre-fall already trickling into the shops, these are the skirt trends that'll actually work across all seasons – with some clever styling, of course.

So which skirt trends are dominating, according to team Grazia? Thebubble hemis back from the '00s to liven up a simple vest top or shirt, lace is updating everything from the satin slip to sheer styles, and denim has had a Western hit with contact stitching and pleats, giving them a fresh new feel.

No matter your style, we predict you'll want to wear at least one of these skirt trends in the upcoming weeks, so let us give you some inspiration on how to style them, along with exactly where to shop them.

Bubble Hem

The bubble hem (or puffball) brings the drama to any outfit. It's the unexpected skirt style making a comeback, and it's big news – quite literally – right now. From minis, to midis and maxis, no matter which length you choose, we suggest balancing out the OTT skirt with a more fitted top or jacket.

Floaty Midi

Again tapping into the voluminous skirt trend, these lightweight poplin midi skirts will be the base to so many effortless outfits. For summer, stick to sandals and a nice top, and come autumn you'll be adding glossy knee-high boots and a windbreaker jacket.

New Era Denim

The denim skirt has been a mainstay in fashion people's wardrobes for years, but instead of the usual plain mini you've previously relied on, look for attention to detail. Western additions of contrast stitching, pleating and contrast materials are making the classic feel so fresh.

Soft Satin

The satin slip will always be relevant, and this year it's getting an upgrade in pretty hues, bold prints and the most popular style right now; a hint of lace. No matter which direction you go in, just make sure your skirt is silky soft to the touch.

Ladylike Lace

Talking of lace, it's being spotted on everything from cami tops and dresses to skirts this year, and we can't get enough. Show off a textured style by simply adding a longline top and heels. For the season ahead, no doubt you'll be layering over jeans with a light knit, too.

So Sheer

With peek-a-boo trends being key, skirts have also got the flashy memo. Organza, sheer skirts are the delicate style to know, and they're a lot more wearable than you may think. Add a matching top for after-dark and an oversized shirt with sandals for an office look, with interest.
