Kaia Gerber tried out the summer trend of white skirts while scorching hot in New York City, but there was a catch: Unlike the other celebrities and fashionistas wearing breezy midi and maxi skirts this season, Gerber’s white skirt was paired with a vintage feel and classic ballet flats.

Gerber has been rocking her own style for much of the summer, embracing the controversial skirt-pants trend one day and mixing bohemian and minimalist codes the next, but when it comes to adding a universally beloved piece to her casual closet, the white midi skirt is the obvious choice.

Editors and fashion critics wore their best white skirts throughout fashion month and well into summer, and creator Annie Tara Shobha summed up their appeal in a previous Marie Claire article: “I love how they bring a fresh, clean feel to any outfit.”
