If looking like the kind of person who is chauffeured around town and never has a hair out of place is your jam, then you’ve landed on the right story. There’s a polished ensemble gaining traction on the celebrity circuit and it’s wildly easy to pull off at every budget.
Elsa Hosk, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Olivia Palermo, Daisy Edgar Jones, Nicole Kidman… they’re all investing in the elegant combination of a white top and matching skirt, with each A-lister finding their perfect silhouette and tweaking the look to the level of minimalism or maximalism they prefer.
Skirt co-ords have been one of summer 2024‘s most adopted breakout trends, becoming a mainstay for many of us who rely on dresses to throw on and go. Co-ords of any variety always offer ease with the effect of having made much more effort, and—not to state the obvious here—they also provide us with versatile separates to mix and match in different ways with other outfits.
In the past week, I’ve witnessed a slew of super-stylish women weaving white-skirt co-ords into their hot-weather wardrobes, but this trend isn’t just for those with stylists, big budgets and a lesser risk of staining their clothes; after trying on some of the best skirt co-ords on the high street, I wore one out this week for client appointments and received so many compliments.

If you want to take the aesthetic to the next level, the path is clear: make your shoes and bag (and perhaps a headscarf) white too. Otherwise, a white skirt co-ord will work with every possible neutral accessory or dash of colour you could imagine.
