Black and white for summer is a classic, timeless style. I have found myself drawn to black and white together every summer, for as long as I can remember! Although I have another black and white skirt for the summer season, the skirt I have is a pleated, midi skirt. I decided it was OK to also include this black and white skirt in my summer wardrobe since it is above the knee, and the white is more of an off-white, rather than stark white; like my other skirt, which you can see styled here.

I love this skirt because it is above the knee, which is a good length for my height. Although it is short, it is not too short, so I can wear it modestly without worrying about showing too much. This makes it an easy option for church; or to wear more casually throughout the summer. Love that!

In addition to dressing it up, this black and white skirt for summer looks adorable with flats and a tee shirt for a casual, summer lunch or brunch. It also looks pretty with flat sandals and a tee for more casual  excursions during the summer months. I love the versatility of a black and white skirt!

When the weather starts to cool off mid-fall, this skirt will easily transition with a lightweight sweater, and open toe booties. Since the white is more of an off-white, this skirt can easily be worn during any season throughout the year. In the winter, it could be paired with a turtleneck sweater, tights, and knee boots! Love that!

If you are looking for a go-to, easy to wear skirt with longevity, which transcends season, this is it! You can find my new favorite skirt online here.

Thanks for stopping by!
