This $45 Summer Skirt Is the Epitome of Feminine and Flattering

I'm obsessed with midi skirts. The long, flattering silhouette is one I've been a fan of for quite some time both in dress and skirt form. I recently came across a wish list I had made ahead of my 11th birthday where I requested a tank-top dress, specifically one that fell below the knee. You might say I was ahead of the curve. You also might say I was very, um, particular with the fashions for age 11. The point is, long hemlines are my jam and have been for decades, especially feminine styles like this POPSUGAR Tiered Midi Skirt ($45, originally $60).

While I'm very well-stocked on Summer skirts, this tiered version stood out to me the moment I laid eyes on the new POPSUGAR at Kohl's July collection, and for a few reasons. First, I love the flowy feel of the A-line shape, which is quintessentially Summer in a lightweight, cotton stripe. Second, the drawstring waist is supercomfortable and can be easily adjusted to wear low on the hips or higher up on the waist. Third, and most of all, the length is so feminine and flattering. At 5'4", a size small hits me at mid-calf, which feels ladylike and fresh for the season (longer hemlines are a big trend that's continuing into Fall). Another plus is that the sun-kissed stripes are colorful but faint, which is ultraversatile for styling with a range of tops from whites and creams to shades of red, blue, and even black.

For a weekend outing, I styled this skirt with a voluminous top, cute basket bag, and barely there sandals for a trendier Summer look. But for something classic and work appropriate, I love it with a white button-down shirt or t-shirt with everything from mules to sneakers. Since the skirt is so lightweight and breathable, it's also a stylish option with a bathing suit in lieu of a cover-up.

Ahead, witness me wearing (and twirling in) the affordable and flattering skirt I'm obsessed with for Summer. Then, shop it on sale for $45, as well as the stylish extras I paired with it.

The Boob-Window Trend Is All Over the Red Carpet From Sydney Sweeney to Chlöe

The boob window is the new trend in celebrity dressing making waves this year, both on and off the red carpet. As early as January, in fact, Lori Harvey stepped out to celebrate her 26th birthday in the LBD version of the look, flaunting an asymmetrical midi from The Attico with a chest cutout that circled her cleavage, and was further amplified by an attention-grabbing neck-tie sash. The outfits that follow often resemble halter silhouettes, although not all of these numbers boast a strap on each side. Sydney Sweeney is the latest style icon to give it a go, opting for a brown silk gown that she wore alongside model Izabel Goulart while vacationing in Ibiza. For a night out, the 25-year-old " Euphoria " star rocked her one-shoulder design with gold jewelry, dewy makeup, and her bright blonde hair in loose waves. The bodice of her dress was secured near her collar bone, where fabric from one side was pulled through a loop at the other, wrapping around to the back. The r...

Candice Huffine: "Size Does Not Equal Health, and Weight Does Not Equal Worth"

Image Source: Luvlette Born in Washington DC and raised in a Maryland suburb, Candice Huffine did a little bit of everything when she was growing up, from being captain of the cheerleading squad to taking her turn as a pageant queen. "It was 'typical' in a Hallmark movie kind of way, I guess," Huffine tells POPSUGAR. "These details are important to mention because they did influence my life path. I willingly put myself on a stage at every turn - and not always kind ones - to do the things I loved or to follow a dream I had." Huffine, 39, signed her first modeling contract in 2000. She was "determined" to be a model, despite the fashion industry being notoriously discriminatory toward plus-size people. Knowing the odds were stacked against her propelled Huffine even further toward realizing her dream. "When I received a contract as a plus-size model, it unlocked a new mission in me: to not pursue modeling just for myself, but to push har...

Diaper Shorts Are Back - How to Shop the Controversial TikTok Trend

Of all the street style trends to dominate our FYP and social media feeds in recent years, bloomer shorts seems to be the most bizarre (and ironically one of our top favorites) yet. And who do we have to thank for it? TikTok, of course. In a single scroll on the popular app, you've probably come across the piece multiple times, from those viral Miu Miu briefs to Aritzia's more affordable offerings. Slightly more flirty and risqué than the stomach pudge dress or the fisherman aesthetic , bloomer shorts (aka "diaper shorts") have officially made it to the top of the sartorial food chain. What Are Bloomer Shorts? While the idea of bloomer shorts may seem new or daunting at first, they're far from groundbreaking. Similarly to most trends, the good ol' "everything is new again" concept applies here, as the fad dates back to 1850 when the silhouette was invented as a practical solution for women's health and comfort - eventually grabbing the atten...
