It’s officially skirt season—13 styles from Zara, H&M, and COS that are ideal for wearing now and all summer long.

      Spring is here! While we've all heard talk of a potential snow day ahead, I'm choosing to concentrate on what we can count on: the warmer, sunnier days leading up to summer. This season, the key item to have in your wardrobe appears to be the simple skirt, and indications of a "skirtnaissance" are already emerging. From fashion runways to street style, a range from minimalist midi skirts to Celtic-inspired Claudia Winkleman-style kilts has gained significant traction. Consider the Carolyn Bessette Kennedy-inspired pencil skirts (recently sported by Kendall Jenner) or sleek leather midis paired with knee-high boots; the clean lines, effortless style, and functional appeal of a skirt have never been more pertinent.

      Having already updated my capsule wardrobe, I set out to find one or two elegant skirts to refresh my collection. Naturally, I started with the high street. Armed with coffee and an evening to spare, I browsed through numerous online options and was pleasantly surprised by the variety of luxurious silhouettes available. It’s undoubtedly a three-way competition among H&M, Zara, and COS for the best selections.

      From layered midis to balloon-style maxis, skirts with built-in waist-tie scarves to trendy lace designs, the current offerings feel extraordinarily fresh for spring 2026. The best part? The prices are very reasonable. Striving to balance quality and affordability, I’ve compiled a list of my favorite skirts currently available, featuring several made from pure cotton, linen, and satin – options that would typically cost much more from high-end brands. So, without further delay, scroll down to see my curated selection of the top skirts from Zara, H&M, and COS right now.
