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:

Umit Benan Spring 2026 Menswear Collection
Umit Benan returned to Via Bigli with more than just a new address: Spring 2026 marks a pivotal moment for the brand, with the opening of its flagship store and the full-scale debut of womenswear. 'It's destiny,' Benan said with a smile. 'I had my first home here in 2005. In 2010 I presented a project with Nino Cerruti in this very same building.' Now supported by D Capital and having welcomed his newborn son just days before the launch, the designer has come full circle, personally and professionally. Regarding the new womenswear, 'we want it to travel on its own,' Benan said. 'It's not about the wife of our man, but a woman with her own character.' Benan found inspiration in a surfer living in Biarritz—an athlete and muse behind the new women's pieces. 'I documented her life for months,' he said, Her easygoing lifestyle shaped the silhouettes: silk robes, fluid pants, terry cloth sets, bathing suits, and nylon raincoats. The result read like a cinematic take on island living: 'Think Point Break,' Benan added. Menswear evolved in parallel, with added focus on fits inspired by the women's line and Japanese denim. 'I wanted our jeans to feel more like Kevin Costner in Yellowstone than runway,' said Benan. Still, proportions retained a precise tension: cropped jackets, elastic-free piqué knits in treated silk, and anthracite gray as the grounding hue tying together both men's and women's offerings. Resortwear also expanded with 'Paradiso,' a new capsule of year-round pieces in faded tones: banana yellow, powder pink, baby blue. 'Paradiso is where I lived in Lugano. It's also my favorite word in Italian,' Benan said, revealing the tattoo etched on his arm. The newly opened store, just a few steps from the showroom, mirrors this intersection of memory and design. Conceived with architect Martin Brûlé, the space draws from Benan's childhood visits to his mother's multi-brand shop in Istanbul and his father's fabric-scouting trips. 'It had to feel lived-in,' the designer said. 'We even serve cocktails and caviar.' Mahogany wood, sand-toned carpets, and artworks curated by gallerist Thaddaeus Ropac (a friend and client) infuse the space with the same layered identity as the clothes. 'What you see here is everything I absorbed between the ages of eight and 13,' Benan said. 'It's my first real memory of fashion.'

MSGM Resort 2026 Collection
Gardening isn't MSGM's usual terrain; this is a label more at home among a downtown artsy crowd than at a plant nursery. But this season Massimo Giorgetti leaned into florals and a certain breezy lightness. Not because he's suddenly trading sneakers for Wellington's, but because, in a world that feels increasingly off-kilter, the always optimistic Giorgetti chose softness as a form of resistance, a kind of escapism that doesn't ignore the chaos, but dares to bloom in spite of it. Eschewing sugar coating, Giorgetti's take on gardening wear came with a more urban edge. Sturdy canvas morphed into roomy trousers and utilitarian dungarees, teamed with cropped, zippered blousons in waxed cotton that felt more street than shed. Shirts were a medley of broderie anglaise, macramé, and pinstriped poplin, thrown together almost haphazardly and worn over slouchy denim or matching micro-minis. Ballooning bloomers and poufy crinolines billowed from airy cotton taffeta, like hot air balloons poised to lift off over a lush, verdant oasis. Elsewhere, a belted trench and sharply tailored blazer in floral Gobelin tapestry borrowed their pockets from gardener's aprons. Bouquets of wildflowers blossomed on second-skin lycra tops; a graphic pop print of a flower-filled vase served pop-art punch. Even a classic tablecloth check was blown up across a duster and matching skirt. Life may not be a picnic, but against the odds, Giorgetti's cheeky garden was defiantly, merrily in bloom.
