Skirting the rules

You know summers are here when warm air mingles with breezy silhouettes. Of all the summer staples, skirts reign supreme for their ease and comfort. While spring-ready whites and classic romantic ruffled silhouettes are a mainstay, bring fresh air into the summers with these offbeat and edgy skirt hybrids. 

It is ideal to invest in a piece that will transition from loungewear to vacation wardrobe in a jiff.  With skater skirts re-emerging in style, there’s nothing better than this co-ordinated schiffli skirt from Pinnacle by Shruti Sancheti to put spring in your step and you can go places. The broad hip-yoke and gathered flare will rival even the prettiest dresses. Asymmetric hemlines are eternally edgy, enhanced with cutwork embroidery, this high-low skirt by Chandrima boasts a wear-with-anything vibe. 

Embracing fashion’s penchant for hybrid styles, designers are pushing boundaries fusing offbeat elements. While AKHL uses metallic lurex tulle for this tiered skirt to take a detour from conventional festive looks; slit style lehengas have gained a cult following amongst desi divas who love a touch of glam in their festive style. We love this artsy printed one from Limerick by Abirr N Nanki.

Righteously considered a changemaker, draped skirts have really come into their own style du jour for Bohemian state of mind culminates most fittingly with the signature printed and skein embellished draped skirt by Shivan & Narresh. The bold printed skirts from Mandira Wirk can sway from the beach to the bar and beyond. 

The flouncier the volume, the more style mileage a skirt offers. Replete with ruffles, this number by Papa Don’t Preach is something Carrie Bradshaw would surely have had no qualms in adding to her closet. Not So Serious by Pallavi Mohan present an interplay of glamour and minimalism with elegantly ruffled silhouettes. Say yes for dawn to dusk festivities! 

Any keen style savant would know thigh-slits are sublime when it comes to glitz and glamour. With sheer elements and tonal embellishments, this AKHL skirt is a scene-stealer for evenings. Dialled down yet dramatic, this red chiffon high slit number by Rohit Gandhi & Rahul Khanna will put you in the spotlight à la a red-carpet celebrity.
