Where Are The Skirts?
The title is to be said in a Miranda Priestly voice and cadence, otherwise it doesn’t work.

We are not shorts people.
We are not trend people.
We are not formal people.
But you know what we are?
Skirt people.
But often when we are shopping for skirts or just sort of longing for skirts, we realize we were born in the wrong era. Because for some reason, the idea of an everyday, casual skirt isn’t available to us.
Check out MANY of your fave brands online. Peruse their menus. Tops, pants, accessories, bestsellers, tees, tanks, denim, outerwear, they’re all there. But so often, one simple 6-letter word is missing from these drop-down hamburger menus:
SKIRTS.
(And yes, that is what those three lines are called in the top left of the homepage, cute right?)
Skirt-lovers are forced to reconcile the word BOTTOMS on that menu bar, which feels utterly dreary and unfun and doesn’t at all light up our brains with desire for plaids and silks and linens.
And we had an epiphany about why this might be:
Most brands think skirts are just for work.
They’re not though. They’re for thick-waisted gals who prefer something to skim lightly over our bellies, or big-butted babes who have a hard time finding pants that work on the rump AND on the waist. In short, skirts are often a friend of the weirdly proportioned, who just want to wear a flattering skirt in the afternoon for a casual lunch with an ex. Not to mention that a casual skirt worn with the correct shoe or boot can be one of the chicest looks a person can wear on their bodies.
Also, we are not looking for “work skirts.” We don’t want them for work. There are plenty of brands who make tonnnnnns of those kinds of skirts, and they’re fine, but they’re not what’s missing for us.
So we scoured the earth to find 11 of the most wearable-in-the-day skirts that are flattering, comfortable, AND, many of them have elastic waistbands, so we can just eat a fucking piece of bread if we feel like it.
This honestly took hours, but it’s so worth it for the handful of you out there who are also living your life as a skirty girl in a skirtless world.
Here’s 11 of the best ones out there:
