Elle Fanning and Bella Hadid Are Skipping Shorts for This Classic Skirt Trend

This season, there's one piece we're seeing on the best dressers among us—and a quintessential summer item curiously MIA in its wake. I'll start with the latter because this time of year typically brings out plenty of shorts ensembles, but lately, we can't help but notice a sharp decline in their appearances. Right now, celebrities and It girls are turning to none other than poplin maxi skirts . So far this season, we've spotted these airy, flowy skirts all over the map, from the trendiest cafés in L.A. to the most popular vacation spots throughout France and Italy.
Elle Fanning, Bella Hadid , Laura Harrier , and European It girls seem to agree that poplin skirts are the move right now. They're styling the skirts with everything from flip-flops to cowboy boots and ballet flats to point-toe pumps, proving that they are not only chic, classic, and practical for the heat but also wildly versatile for a number of occasions and style preferences. Ahead, see how celebrities and fashion folks are wearing the poplin skirt trend right now, and then, of course, shop the very best picks on the market.
Poplins skirts offer everything denim shorts do—they pair well with other summer basics, work in hot weather, and look good with a variety of shoes—but are so much more elevated. Take Fanning's simple idea, for instance, which would be ideal for vacation.

Cotton and poplin fabrics are ideal for the hot weather that cities like NYC and L.A. are facing right now, making these breathable and airy skirts a go-to.
Styling well with a number of shoes from ballet flats and sandals to Western boots, as Bella Hadid has displayed, it's no wonder why the skirts have become such a popular pick among celebs with much different style preferences.
It doesn't take much brain power to style one of these skirts, either. A tank or simple tee is all you need to complete the look, but matching skirt sets are also on the rise, like this poplin duo from Helsa that marries the maxi skirt with an adorable puff-sleeve crop top.
There's nothing chicer than wearing an all-white outfit in the dead of summer, and the fashion people in our feeds are proving that the combo of a white top and poplin skirt is the defining look of 2024.
Black-and-white looks so chic here. I love how Nnenna Echem styled her white maxi skirt with a square-neck black top and ballet flats for the ultimate polish.
Less is more when it comes to this skirt style. Accessorize with a singular statement piece like the beaded necklace Josefine Haaning Jensen paired hers with.
Add an element of coastal prep to the look through a simple striped shirt.
There's just something about an all-white outfit with black accessories that looks so clean and put-together.
While these skirts make the most sense for the summer, we're already getting a glimpse into how the style set will continue wearing them into the fall, i.e., with structured blazers and pretty pumps.
