      If there’s one trend from the past that I would never have predicted making a comeback for spring and summer, it would certainly be the knee-length skirt. However, it’s definitely making a resurgence and appears to be here to stay in the fast-paced fashion cycle. Need evidence? Besides the numerous fashion enthusiasts I've seen rocking them on Instagram, Karlie Kloss was just spotted in a knee-length skirt in NYC. If you’re concerned about a knee-length skirt appearing outdated, Karlie Kloss has just demonstrated an ideal outfit concept to steer clear of that. She paired her black knee-length skirt with a stylish cinch-waist button-down and black kitten-heel sandals.

      While spring and summer often call for more flowing garments, like oversized button-downs, Kloss understands that a knee-length skirt pairs best with tops that have a sleeker and more contemporary look. What could be better than a cinch-waist button-down? The tailored shirt exudes far more elegance and sophistication than its baggier alternative. Kloss kept her ensemble effortless (as a New Yorker would), complementing her look with black sunglasses and a chic black leather bag.
