1. A fun and flowy high-waisted ruffle mini skirt reviewers say is great to wear when the temps start inching closer to triple digits.
Promising review: "This is very pretty, good quality, and not flimsy or sheer material! It is great for 90+ degree weather! And can be dressed up or down. It is versatile, would be great at the beach or a BBQ, or dressed up for a party with tights and boots." —bluehound
Another promising review: "Great little summer skirt! Not too short or too long. The material is cotton feeling. It is so lightweight and easy to pack. I liked it so much I ordered three more in different colors. Great to dress up or down. Very versatile. Great for hot vacations!" —Charles D. Paynter
Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (available in sizes S–XL and 44 colors).
2. A lightweight tiered maxi skirt complete with a tie-waist, pockets, and gorgeous prints to make you feel like you're on a tropical vacay (even if you're just watching another episode of "The World’s Most Amazing Vacation Rentals" on Netflix).
Promising review: "Wonderful and versatile for summer. Super cute. So breezy. Wore it on a 90-degree day and felt great. Lightweight but not sheer at all." —Jessielead63

3. A stretchy skater skirt featuring an elastic waist and A-line silhouette you'll be packing multiples of for all your future vacations and Disney trips.
Promising review: "Let me preface this by saying I have worn approximately one skirt in the last 20 years before I bought this one, and I never ever want to wear pants again. These skirts, only, forever. I cannot stress enough how comfortable this skirt truly is! It's got pretty good stretch to it. The skirt has a great flow to it, I love turning circles like an overzealous golden retriever, and I've received several compliments on it. It's a fun, flirty little style that can be dressed up or down. I definitely plan on getting at least one more in another color, but again I am committed to wearing only this skirt forever as previously mentioned. You will not regret buying this. TL;DR: I'm going to post this essay of a review and then immediately purchase a second skirt in a different color because I love the first one so much." —Mai
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in plus sizes L–5XL and 18 colors).

5. A popular high-waisted Torrid midi skirt destined to accompany you on weekend winery trips. It'll match your glass of cabernet so well and you *know* it'd be hard to pass up that photo op.
Promising review: "I’ve never left a review before, but I am today. This skirt is ADORABLE. First time wearing it and I’ve already had a bunch of compliments. I usually stay away from skirts because the waist band is always too thin so all it does is roll down, but not with this one!!! The super wide band makes it so I can wear this closer to my natural waist, but it also looks great higher up. It also has a liner which is always a good thing for me. Honestly, the style is phenomenal and I’ll be keeping my eye out for other patterns for sure. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT." —Deladawn
