Proof just how versatile a prairie style white skirt can be, Mariko effortlessly pairs her white midi with smarter, more formal pieces to create a look that feels chic and elevated. I love how she carries the white tone from her skirt into the pinstripe on her waistcoat to create cohesion between the two elements. Perfection in an outfit!
2. Go for a co-ord

It's a known fact, co-ord sets are one of the easiest looks to style to ensure you look chic with minimal effort. The great thing about a white skirt is you can create a coordinated look without needing to shop for actual matching pieces, simply opting for pieces in the same shade and similar fabrics will fit the bill perfectly.
3. Style with summer stripes

This outfit is the coming together of two fashion heroes in one great look: the summer stripe shirt and the white skirt. Follow Rita's lead and leave your shirt untucked for a relaxed feel while contrasting printed ballet flats give an effortless finish.
4. Try a denim style
White white cotton skirts are certainly having a moment, there's something eternally classic about a denim style. If you opt for one of these, go for a maxi length to ensure it feels in keeping with this seasons trends. When it comes to tone, everything from ice white to ecru works so don't feel confined into one white hue.
5. Give it a western twist
Elsa Hosk rarely turns out an outfit I'm not obsessed with and this white skirt look may just be one of her best yet. Toughening up her white lace skirt with a leather jacket and western boots, she take the look somewhere unexpected and interesting.
