One of the best perks of the summer season (other than sunny skies and vacations, of course) is being able to throw on cute skirts, pair them with a top of your choice, and then call it a day. Sure, jean shorts are a closet staple, but if you ask us, skirts are just as versatile. It's so easy to find styles that work for any event and look great with whatever you already have in your warm-weather wardrobe. Plus, they're flowy, fun, and oh-so-fabulous! That's why we've rounded up several of our favorite summer skirts for you to slip into when you're just not in the mood for pants.

On this list, you'll find mini skirts, midi skirts, and maxi skirts in a variety of styles. There are tiered silhouettes with bright florals, wrap styles that can double as beach covers-ups, everyday denim skirts, pleated picks for special occasions, and even casual skorts. Looking for something gauzy and lightweight to keep you cool during the hottest days? Or something bold and bright to liven your ensemble? You'll find your fair share of those, too.

From blousy tops to graphic tees, you can wear these skirts with anything then dress your ensemble up or down by adding either comfortable wedges or sneakers. That way, you can easily go from a day at the pool to a nice dinner with friends—or whatever else you have planned! See? Summer dressing has never been so simple!
