Summertime dresses that are in style are skirts. An effortless warm-weather option is a timeless, flowy maxi dress, especially when denim shorts aren’t feeling like the trend. However, this season offers more options than only lengthy designs. Modern interpretations of skirt trends abound, such as sheer designs, asymmetrical hemlines, and athletic drawstring styles that perfectly capture the casual-chic aesthetic. Amazon is one of our favourite sites to shop when we want (or need!) something quickly. All of these designs are available there, along with classic favourites like denim, wrap, and tiered skirts.
We looked through thousands of skirt options on Amazon to compile the top 11 for summer. These include highly-rated selections from smaller, Amazon-only brands that thousands of customers adore, as well as alternatives from major labels like Rag & Bone, Rails, and Good American. We found dressier options for special occasions like weddings that call for a special bag (and maybe designer shoes, too), tennis skirts that go well with your favourite fitness sneakers for pickleball games, and so much more.

Best Tennis Skirt
Because it’s easy to wear as a typical daily skirt with an oversize T-shirt, but still looks great as a tennis or golf skirt, this skirt is a flexible must-have.
Best Pleated Maxi Skirt
This pleated maxi can do the trick if you want to look elegant without breaking the bank. If you want to go for a more striking look, it is available in a variety of solid colours as well as a leopard print option.
Best Denim Pencil Skirt
Although denim skirts aren’t usually the most comfortable, this one is made more pleasant thanks to its elastic polyester, spandex, and cotton blend. The fact that more than 100 customers regard the comfortable material’s shape and length—which falls just above the knee—as “flattering” may be an even bigger plus.
Best Drawstring Skirt
Among the newest arrivals of skirts on Amazon, this linen-blend skirt is retaining its position at the top very nicely. Consider it the blue jeans of your skirt wardrobe; it goes well with everything from sneakers and Birkenstocks to T-shirts and tanks. There are genuinely countless style possibilities.
Best Flowy Miniskirt
This flowy miniskirt features lovely pleating that glides with you and an elastic waistline. It comes in flowery patterns as well as solid colours, and reviews have praised it greatly. It’s “flirty, feminine, and fantastic!!” according to one five-star reviewer. Be advised that it is unquestionably shorter!
Best Denim Midi Skirt
With its denim-like appearance and somewhat lighter weight, this midi skirt creates an illusion of being denim, which makes it ideal for the sweltering summer months. It’s the perfect warm-weather substitute for true denim skirts because it just happens to be denim in colour. It’s not at all see-through, despite hundreds of five-star reviews, so don’t worry.
Best White Maxi Skirt
A white maxi skirt with layers is a must-have for any summer outfit. Imagine numerous alternative summery ensembles, or style it like so many stylish people are doing right now with a denim vest or white shirt for a stunning monochromatic moment. (If you’re lacking inspiration, browsing through Instagram, TikTok, or Pinterest is always a good idea.)
Best Floral Skirt
Many (thousands) of people have given this breezy, easy-to-wear flowery skirt five stars. Many customers were so pleased with their first purchase that they ordered it in a different colour. The finest aspect? Nobody will be able to tell that the 27 distinct designs are the same skirt.
Best Sheer Skirt
Since they’re now having a major moment, it goes without saying that a sheer skirt had to be on the list. This one may be worn with similar undergarments for a sultry night out look, or put over a swimsuit for a beach day. The matching Good American Women’s Mesh Tank ($79) completes the ensemble.
Best Denim Miniskirt
Did you know that Shopbop stocks designer items in its own area on Amazon? Even a subsection dedicated to skirts exists, such this darling Rails miniskirt. Stretchy denim in a light blue colour, it features an asymmetrical wrap silhouette and an adjustable D-ring belt.
Best Khaki Skirt
Another must-have item from Shopbop’s shopfront that I’m frantically trying not to get for the sake of my bank account is this slitted maxi skirt. As shown by the effortlessly elegant model in the accompanying photo, it’s a stylish boost over the standard T-shirt, leggings, fanny pack, and flat sandals combo.
