Move over, midi dresses - 5 ways I'm styling a chic skirt and white top this summer
Daily Mail journalists select and curate the products that feature on our site. If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission - learn more I was never really a fan of skirts. Then, last summer, I bought a white broderie midi skirt from Ghost and it quickly became one of the most complemented pieces in my wardrobe. I often wear it with a bandeau top from Cos (another purchase from a few seasons back that's now a staple) – an all-white look that leaves people wondering if I'm wearing a dress; or with a white baby tee from Uniqlo and a pair of Adidas Spezials on those low-effort days. This summer, I made a vow to wear more skirts. After all, they're just as easy to slip on as a midi dress, if you team them with a white tank top, tee or button-up on top half. So, I've browsed the high street for the best styles and shared my pick of the five skirts that have caught my attention this season below. All I need to do now is make a decision… Massimo Dutti Midi Skirt £99.95 Shop The check print of this flowy Massimo Dutti skirt lends itself to this simple white tee from Mango and these black leather flip flips from Stradivarius (a minimalist shoe the fashion set can't get enough of this season – see below). M&S Linen Rich Maxi A-Line Skirt £35 Shop The best thing about these Tkees sandals is that they come in a range of colours, so it wasn't too difficult to find a pair that matches this red M&S skirt. Leave the oversized tee from COS untucked for that slouchier, cool-girl look. H&M Flared Linen Blend Skirt £44.99 Shop The pintucks on this linen H&M skirt makes it look far more expensive than its high street price tag. Tuck a white linen shirt, like this one from Uniqlo, into the waistband and team with these brown sandals from Zara during the next heatwave. Mango Flared Cotton Skirt £45.99 Shop The design of this black cotton skirt from Mango is pretty simple, so I'd add some interest and texture with this semi-sheer top from Massimo Dutti and these strappy sandals from Russell & Bromley, which are heavily discounted right now. Rixo Midi Skirt £215 Shop Let the floral print of this bias cut Rixo skirt do the talking and wear it with a white tank top – this Mint Velvet number is a winner thanks to its square neckline – and these chocolate brown suede sandals from H&M.

Fury as school BANS skirts forcing all girls to wear trousers & ‘look like boys' with ‘no right to express femininity'
PARENTS have expressed their outrage after a school has announced it will ban skirts. Newhouse Academy in Heywood, Manchester, will be implementing the trousers-only policy from September. 2 Parents were told that "boys and girls will be expected to wear plain black school trousers". It is a move that will "move away from skirts being a part of the girl's uniform." The school claims that the policy has been a success in other schools. Parents have expressed their outrage following the announcement. One mum told the Manchester Evening News that she "would never have considered this school" for her daughter if she'd known about the change. They claimed that the school hadn't held adequate consultations on the decision. One felt that it "disregards the female students and their right to express their femininity." The parent felt that forcing girls to wear trousers and "look like a boy" failed to "embrac[e] the two genders equally". In a statement, Newhouse Academy said they were "committed to working in partnership with our parents and community about important decisions that impact our young people". While they have no legal obligation to consult parents, they said they had been consulting with the local community "for months". It included a formal listening period during which people could put forward their opinions. Following the first consultation, the response was mostly positive, however, new parents felt they had been excluded. The school then extended the consultation to allow all parents to express their views which they said again was mostly positive. Staff were also involved in the change, in addition to the student council and relevant governors. The decision was also informed by student opinion. Students were even allowed to decide the type of trousers they will have as their new uniform. They added: "We have done more than is required of us because we feel it is right to do so." While they did acknowledge that some people disagreed with the decision, they said ultimately it had been met with support. It comes following several uniform changes across schools in a bid to maintain higher standards. Another trousers-only policy was put in place at Fred Longworth High School in Wigan. This decision was implemented in an attempt to curb the trend of girls rolling up their skirts which had become a "serious safeguarding concern". They had previously changed the uniform to a pinafore style dress but this didn't dissuade the girls from changing the length of the dresses. Last year, Buile Hill Academy in Salford banned socks, instead insisting that female students wear tights with their skirts. The same policy at Moorside High School in Swindon was brought in to maintain a "professional dress code" according to Consilium Academies Trust which manages the school.

6 Printed Skirt Outfits to Try This Summer
This season, skirts aren't just part of the outfit—they are the outfit. No matter where your summer wardrobe takes you this season–the city streets or a faraway destination–here are six seriously chic ways to wear your new printed skirt (plus, a few other favorites to covet). The Geometric Find with All Black Accessories Zara's pleated, geometric midiskirt is constantly selling out, and for good reason. The unexpected, bright print serves as an easy starting point. Styling-wise, sport it monochromatic accessories, like Toteme's leather slides, and Lemaire's fishnet-embellished croissant bag. The Multicolored Maxi with a Muscle Tee and Shell Necklace Dries Van Noten's multicolored cotton maxi will add a welcome splash of color to your summer rotation. Let the vivid print do the talking with Veronica Beard's muscle tee as your base, and Jennifer Behr's shell pendant necklace playing off the skirt's tones. Toteme's crocodile flip-flop is a chic finishing touch. The Two-Tone Pencil Skirt with Work-Friendly Extras For office hours, you probably want to strike a balance of sophistication and practicality. That's easily accomplished with Zara's two-toned midi skirt, Flore Flore's black tank top, and Dragon Diffusion's woven basket bag—a style big enough to fit a laptop. The Polka Dot Pairing with a Basket Tote Like the stripe, polka dots during summer have endless appeal. There are plenty of ways to wear it, but we at Vogue appreciate a matchy-matchy moment. We also love how the print looks alongside a basket bag. The Playful Maxi with Sophisticated Additions Khaite takes the classic maxi skirt silhouette and puts a whimsical spin on it with a raspberry print. For a date or event, pair it with Suzie Kondi's red terry T-shirt and The Row's barely-there heeled sandals. Adina Reyter 14k spring into pink horseshoe necklace $298 SHOPBOP The Row Bare leather sandals $890 MYTHERESA The Modern Pencil Skirt with the Draped T-Shirt When it comes to foolproof combinations, few pairings are as chic as a modern T-shirt and pencil skirt. La DoubleJ's reimagining the formula with a mood-boosting print. The same can be said for 3.1 Phillip Lim's T-shirt, updated with artful draping. Shop more printed skirts:
