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:

The 8 menswear trends to have on your radar now
Pre-fall 2025 menswear leans into contrast—with sharp silhouettes, strong texture play, and a mood that oscillates between restraint and drama. This season marks a return to core codes, but with fresh attitude and elevated finishings that reflect where menswear is headed. Leather remains a staple, glistening across outerwear at Saint Laurent, while trench coats are updated for the rain-slicked season at Gucci. Power suiting makes its return—an '80s redux bubbling at Louis Vuitton and Ferrari, complete with a matching attitude. Texture gets its moment, as tactile fabrics and embellished surfaces emerge at Valentino. The standout hue? Blue. Saturated and trickled confidently through collections like Bottega Veneta's, it anchors the palette with depth and clarity. Lines—stripes, crosshatches, and more—cut through at Ferragamo, while boxy cuts, as seen at Loewe, punctuate the season with their audacious silhouettes. As for accessories? Headpieces take the spotlight. From soft hats to sharp, architectural shapes, offerings at Dior and Balmain add a final dose of drama. Below, Vogue Man Singapore chronicles eight key styles that are shaping the menswear zeitgeist this season.

Everyone Stylish Is Wearing These Abercrombie Shorts – And They're In Stock
Now that outdoor temperatures have risen considerably, you may find yourself facing a sartorial dilemma: how to choose an outfit that's both incredibly chic and comfortable enough to withstand the heat. While you may opt for a pair of linen trousers or an airy midi skirt in a bid to keep cool and comfortable, there is one alternative that nails the balance between style and practicality with unfussy polish, and that is a pair of Bermuda shorts. It shouldn't come as a surprise that knee-length Bermuda shorts have begun to dominate the fashion pack, given their endorsement on the spring runways of Miu Miu and Dries Van Noten, not to mention the rise and rise of denim jorts. Naturally, the trend has filtered down to the high street, with brands like Massimo Dutti and COS offering their own takes on the silhouette. Our favourite iteration so far? The Abercrombie & Fitch Mid Rise Bermuda Short, crafted from a mid-weight fabric fit for the summer months. And the fashion crowd has fallen for them - hard. 1. Mid Rise Bermuda Short - Black Few Bermuda shorts look as chic as this tailored pair - classic black, no less. Style them with a matching black leather belt featuring a gold buckle for a bold statement, or opt for silver hardware for a more subtle touch that complements any outfit. Typically popular in clean-cut cottons, washed blue denim and leather, the Abercrombie shorts have taken a slightly more tailored approach - made from suiting-style fabric that has the feel of formal trousers, while maintaining a relaxed wearable silhouette. Available in two colours: a sleek black (which has unsurprisingly been selling out at record speed) and ash, a stone, light grey-beige hue that lends itself to a plethora of capsule wardrobe staples, including longline waistcoats and striped shirts. There's great news for anyone who prefers to stick to linen - there's a lightweight, soft version available to shop, too. They're the same style, same cut and same length as the originals, but this version comes in a crisp white shade that's perfect for the beach (paired with a matching linen shirt) or for evenings out with an Aperol in hand. For a nighttime look, opt for whimsical lace blouses or flirty asymmetrical strapless tops. As for footwear? Footbed sandals like Birkenstocks are ideal for daytime, while mule kitten heels will truly elevate the outfit once the sun goes down. 2. Mid Rise Linen-Blend Bermuda Short - White Alternatively, opt for the linen version in a crisp, cool white - perfect for beach holidays where heavy materials just won't do and beach-friendly outfit formulas are a must. Pair it with linen shirts for an effortlessly cool and comfortable look on hot days. Whichever version you choose, shop them quick before they sell out. We suspect they'll fly off the virtual shelves, as sizes are already dwindling in all colours, in both linen and non-linen. Shop the rest below. 3. Mid Rise Bermuda Short - Ash For a lighter take on the tailored favourite, opt for the Bermuda shorts in ash - perfect when paired with black tops featuring casual-cool cap sleeves or cotton boxy tees for a laid-back yet polished look. 4. Mid Rise Linen-Blend Bermuda Short - Black Shop the black linen shorts if you're looking for a cropped linen staple that looks as good as it feels - especially when your commute includes a stifling tube journey. Lightweight and breathable, they'll keep you comfortable all day long. Image credit: @marthawr and @saroop.k.s and @leahwashyp Emma Richardson is a fashion commerce writer for Grazia.

Antwerp celebrates young creatives with mega fashion show
In the small barrel there is good wine. A collected, secluded city, but close to the sea and rich in cultural fusion. A melting pot of languages and cultures. Perhaps this is the secret of Antwerp's creative richness. Less in the limelight than major centers such as New York, London, Paris, or Milan, the city of diamonds once again confirms its vocation as a hotbed of ideas. Its fashion, in particular, continues to lead the way on the international creative scene, energizing the style offices of the most important luxury maisons with new life. A true global creative hub, each year Antwerp hosts the end-of-year show of the fashion department of the prestigious Royal Academy of Fine Arts. It is a grand celebration of fashion across the board, from the history of costume and technique to material research and new forms of communication. The event, staged under the direction of the Fdc-Flanders District of Creativity and with financial support from the government and local authorities, reflects the spirit of Antwerp, a city that rejects standardization and where small independent fashion boutiques dominate, leaving no room for large chains or department stores. The moment of the fashion show was preceded by an entire afternoon devoted to presentations of the collections of the 14 final-year students. Young designers ready to pick up the baton from the 'Antwerp Six' (think Dries Van Noten, Dirk Bikkembergs, and Ann Demeulemeester), who graduated right here in the 1980s before revolutionizing the international catwalks with their unconventional aesthetic. The Expo took place at the academy's headquarters, which can boast in its ranks as former students designers such as Af Vandevorst, Haider Ackermann, and Kris Van Assche, to the more recent Demna Gvasalia (Gucci) and Glenn Martens (Diesel and Maison Margiela). The fashion department is public, and young designers fund their projects independently, but in return, the school offers significant financial prizes, such as the 5,000-euro prize named after Christine Mathys, a Dries Van Noten partner who passed away in the 1990s. "In the Antwerp fashion department, there is a group of young, talent-hungry designers who are challenging the world, who are daring, and who excite me about coming to this department every week to take classes and be a part of what they envision for this world," said Brandon Wen, an alumnus and now the artistic director of the department. More than 120 students paraded inside a maxi hangar on the banks of the Scheldt River on the evening of June 7. Thousands of people flocked to the event that entertained the public for more than four hours. It was a true fashion marathon that opened with the creations of first-year students, who were responsible for the famous case study of skirts. A parade of total-white skirts in a wide variety of shapes gave way to graphic compositions, dominated by soft neon colors in bands, before closing with textured experiments with house-dresses and extra-large volumes. The show continued with a two-act plunge into the past by second-year students. They paraded historical costumes (1600s to 1800s) culminating in sublime dance choreography. A techno soundtrack opens the curtain on the second act and provides a backdrop for dresses 'from the future.' Multi-layering dominates: trench coats over bodices on long bell-shaped skirts. Models sport giant shoulder pads, glittery denim, and headpieces in unusual shapes. The third section is dedicated to world costume. Penultimate year designers draw on the traditions of their home nations as inspiration for their collections. A 40-minute tour of the world, from the Dominican Republic to Japan, via Canada, Brazil, and Poland. Also on the runway is Italian Mauro Cuccuru, with his fashion homage to his homeland, Sardinia. The evening culminated with the highly anticipated show of the 14 masters who performed their works under the watchful eyes of their professors and a prestigious international jury also composed of Italians Stefano Martinetto (CEO Tomorrow Group), Rina Tollio (OTB), and Stefano Gallucci (Ann Demeulemeester). Spain's Mari Albores Lojo walked the runway with a reinterpretation of the Galician tradition. American Emiliano Alvarez Torres brought attention to a new ecological narrative, while Dutch Sybrand Jansen reflected on the relationship between the organic and the infinite. The tension between illusion and reality characterized the proposal of South Korean Anji Jiyoung. Chinese Jaden Xinyu Li was inspired by Alain Badiou's work, "In Praise of Love", and conceived of love as a transformative event. Floran Polano took refuge in childhood memories as an antidote to the adult world. His clothes, in fact, were as enveloping as a parent's embrace of their child. George Underwood's paintings inspired the 'surrealist' woman of Belgian Chloë Reners, while fellow Belgian Annaelle Reudink brought to the runway a colorful homage to existence and the infinite lives that coexist within each of us. Knitwear was at the center of Swiss Lille Schmid's proposal; Indian-born Dutchman Amar Singh evaded realities with fantasy or clown looks. From China's Beliu Song came the study of human error applied to clothing choice. Delara Tavassotti's meticulous and super technical work reflected the tension of a life suspended between present and past, while Paula Van Dijck celebrated superficiality as a tool for anthropological investigation through the use of materials that seduce and protect. Finally, Hoyt Zhang's wardrobe created a comfort zone after the traumas of the pandemic. The show ended after midnight with the catwalk stormed by designers and models who hurriedly gained the end of the hangar amid bursts of confetti and applause from the audience. A pro-Palestinian flag and a sign extolling peace also appeared among the revelers. It was a moment of boundless creativity that transcended the trends or canons of the present and became a spokesman for radically new ideas and aesthetics. An event that benefits from a cultural background rooted in the glorious Antwerp Six and now looking to the next six. Who, among these young designers, will succeed?

6 of the best skirts that nail this top summer trend - starting from just £35
Much more than anything else in my wardrobe, my collection of skirts seems to define each era of my life. There was the late noughties and early 2010s, my university years, which was all about the most minuscule of mini skirts. There was a period of pleated midi skirts being huge – I think about 7 years ago – which became my office uniform for a while, and is why I have ended up with a blue velvet version in my wardrobe (probably time to donate that one). And there was the slip skirt phase, more recently still, when all I wore were mid-length, bias cut slip skirts, including (of course) a leopard print version inspired by Realisation Par. Now, however, those once ubiquitous slip skirts feel a bit plain and boring – at least in comparison to the newest trend that I'm seeing everywhere, which takes the plain old slip skirt and upgrades it with lace trims and unusual hemlines. Think of a mash-up between your old slip skirt and some beautiful French vintage lingerie, and you've got the idea. Popular with fashion designers from Dries Van Noten to The Row, and worn by celebrities including Alexa Chung (really, who else do we need?) the lacy slip skirt feels modern and fresh, with a feminine vibe that balances out the current trend for oversized tailoring and 'ugly' shoes. So, how to style it? One option is to keep your top half very simple – a white T-shirt, a fine grey knit – anything that feels classic and clean enough to balance out the whimsy of a lingerie-inspired skirt. Another look that's popular right now is to toughen up the outfit with graphic T-shirts, chunky loafers and a huge bag – very Gen Z, although anyone could take elements of it to channel a modern approach to the pretty slip. While DÔEN is selling perhaps our favourite version of the slip skirt, it does cost an eye-watering £378, so we've searched the high street for some more affordable alternatives… Me+Em Floral Lace Trim Slip Skirt £225 Shop Next Black Satin Midi Skirt With Lace Trim £35 Shop By Anthropologie Lace-Trim Bias-Cut Midi Slip Skirt Reclaimed Vintage at ASOS satin midi skirt with lace trim in buttermilk yellow £35.99 Shop Arket lace midi skirt £52.20 Shop Topshop at ASOS satin and lace maxi skirt in buttermilk £46 Shop
