Listen. I am an avid pant wearer. You might even call me a bit of a tomboy. I’m just a fashion person who really appreciates function and comfort over looking trendy. That said, I’ve never been much of a skirt or dress person, but with time and more comfort in my body, that’s starting to change. While on my daily sweeps of fashion sites, I keep coming across skirts that have helped me see the light about wearing them more often. I know slipping one on to style an outfit around is so fun, and I want to partake in that more often.

All the chic skirts I’ve found have been from the same three sites: Zara, Madewell, and J.Crew. Each retailer is different in aesthetics, but they all have one thing in common, an affordable price point. If you’re in the same boat as me, trying new trends and items when you’re already unsure about them is only more difficult if it’s expensive. However, I’m in the camp of finding fashion items that are expensive looking. This is definitely why these skirts have changed my mind. Gone are the days of constantly wearing pants in the summer. Keep scrolling to shop 30 of the best skirts that won’t break the bank to wear this summer from Zara, Madewell, and J.Crew.
