Take a peek at Paris Fashion Week outfits and one thing becomes clear: Skirts are the ‘it’ look for spring. But it’s nothing new.

As such, their spring uniforms lean hard on these 21 billowy styles, the kind you can wear to lunch, throw on for errands and dress up for dinner without feeling restricted.
Plus, our French-inspired favorites transition seamlessly from spring to summer. Relaxed A-lines, drapey fabrics and delicate florals are just a few highlights, but you’ll also find some satiny and solid-color styles as well. Case in point: There’s a chic skirt for any fashionista who wants to look European this season. Scroll on!
