As well as keeping up to date with the biggest spring/summer fashion trends of 2026, it's our job to be on the lookout for more micro trends that are influencing the high street, and dropped waist skirts seem to be the only shape any store is stocking right now.
A look we predict will carry on into summer, it's the contemporary update to the A-line and slip skirt of previous seasons, but with a rather confusing name, you'd be forgiven for wondering what it all meant. To clarify, it doesn't mean your skirt will be slung low on your hips, but it means that the horizontal waistband panel is deeper than usual and sits snuggly from your waist down to just above your hips before flaring out into a floatier shape.
