Are Skirts the New It Bag?
Carry, Conceal, or Reveal in Skirts from Chopova Lowena to Jacquemus

The FW23 runways have spoken—we are living in an era of skirts. Whether slick satin A-line, white cotton with appliqués, or decked out with hardware for never-before-seen levels of hard wear, it’s clear their function is more than just decorative. Here we’ve rounded up some SS23 styles to help you get a head start.

Model wears Chopova Lowena skirt.
For those who want to hop on the Chopova Lowena train but are unsure about committing to the look, the brand offers something of a more sophisticated take on the brand’s iconic skirts with this cotton-blend sateen skirt. The panelled construction features press stud and buckle hardwear, as well as pleats in the back.

Model wears Shushu/Tong shorts.
If miniskirts aren’t your thing, try some shorts on for size—even just for the frill of it. Shanghai-based SHUSHU/TONG knows how to do puff pieces the right way.

Model wears Praying skirt.
Realtree from your hips all the way down to below your knees—max out on camo in this maxi skirt. Part of the Praying x Realtree collaboration.

Model wears Elena Velez skirt.
Falling to pieces doesn’t always necessarily have to mean falling apart. The Elena Velez SSENSE-exclusive taupe midi skirt takes the idea of piece-by-piece to a whole new level, with a cotton and linen-blend jersey skirt featuring cutouts, ruching, and draping throughout.

Model wears Simone Rocha skirt.
Tiered tulle might not seem like the most tactical material, but when it comes to adding a layer over pants or wearing with knee socks, it’s clear it serves a serious purpose—so you can serve a serious look. Simone Rocha offers a whole new size run expansion through menswear—this one is exclusively available at SSENSE.

Model wears Jacquemus skirt.
Summon the sunshine and balmier nights with Jacquemus. A pink acetate-blend jersey skirt with wooden bead hardware strikes all the right notes when it comes to stepping a little closer toward summer.
