1. A top-selling flowy high-waisted skirt complete with pleats and pockets — the most dynamic duo, IMHO — and available in so many different prints and shades I could shed a tear. Reviewers note how versatile this is, so throw on a belt, white tee, fancy tee, sneakers or boots...the options are literally endless.
Promising review: "The skirt has beautiful pleating. I love the elastic waistband and pockets! The material is light and airy. It can easily be worn in colder months with another skirt under it or as well in the warmer months so it's perfect all year long. I added a belt as an accessory. I highly recommend this skirt." —PB
Get it from Amazon for $33.89+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 19 colors).
2. A simply stunning mesh layered style you'll get so much wear out of, you should probably do yourself a favor a snag a couple of 'em. Because not only will the available shades transcend the seasons, but they'll look just glorious for both day and evening occasions.
Chic Wish is a California-based Etsy store that sells bold and kitschy, on-trend fashion items.

3. A fitted midi skirt available in a ton of prints and patterns that are *chef's kiss* for anyone who's ready to fully embrace warmer weather with open arms. This beaut even comes complete with a matching top so you'll never have to rack your brain over finding something to pair with it. Yep, you're welcome.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Kayla Boyd raves: "I love a matching set because it takes most of the work out of putting an outfit together. And this one is such a great deal! I love how comfy and easy it is to wear. I was concerned about it being see-through, but it wasn't! It has a stretchy waist and a cute tie detail in the front of the skirt. For spring days, I just throw a denim jacket over it. And, of course, I plan to wear it all summer as well. I would 100% buy more colors in this — and there are so many to choose from!"
Get it from Amazon for $31.99+ (available in 37 styles and sizes XL–5XL).
4. A low-rise denim maxi skirt providing the perfect pinch of nostalgia for all your multi-season OOTDs henceforth. This style may have made its debut in the '90s, but its valiant return is bigger, better, and more stylish than ever.

5. A great everyday long flared maxi skirt you can get away with wearing multiple days of the work week if you're feeling, hmm...what's the word...lazy...?

9. A ruffled high-low maxi skirt that one savvy reviewer notes is versatile as all heck: behold — a skirt that transforms into a top when paired over some shorts.

Promising review: "I adore these skirts! I ordered the yellow and also the bright orange/red. I love them both. The material is nice and thick, but not too thick. The elastic waist gives just enough stretch but still has structure. The pockets are nice and deep. It’s a great skirt that’s easy to wear, and super comfortable. I usually order a small or medium. I got both in medium and the fit is great. I’m almost 5’10” and it falls well below my knee. Perfect!" —Samantha G

Get it from Amazon for $27.99 (available in sizes L–5X and 16 prints and colors).
16. A unique half pleated, half utility skirt featuring a belted waist and a silhouette that's both romantic and military-inspired all at the same dang time. Which means you're almost guaranteed to exclaim, "You're coming home with me!" after you play the game of saving it to your cart, going to make something to eat, calling your mom, and returning to the unclosed tab on your laptop. It's just good plain science!
Psst! Some reviewers mention that this runs small.
Promising review: "Love love love this skirt!!! It is so chic and so versatile and price point can't be beat.
