The neutral goes with any shade in your closet and works with crop tops, silky tanks, turtlenecks, blouses, bodysuits; you name it.

What to Look for

Fabric: Like any bottom, skirts are offered in a variety of fabrics. When shopping, consider the weather and event since some materials are heavy or read as casual.

Fit: Fit is a personal preference when it comes to skirts. Depending on the material and style, it may drape on your body differently.

Size: Depending on the fit, you might need to size up or down, but remember, white isn’t as forgiving as black.

You might want to go down a size in an elastic waist or go up a size on a bodycon skirt.

FAQ

What to wear with a white skirt?

Most white skirts are really a clean palette for you to make as you wish, but keep in mind the style and fabric of the skirt.

For textured or voluminous skirts, it’s best to keep the top streamlined in color and fit. Sleek slip or silk skirts allow you to wear more intricate tops.

How to style a white tennis skirt?

For the courts, pair it with a sports bra or tank top that will support your swings. When not playing tennis, have fun by styling it with a sweatshirt or fun top.
