This summer has quietly but confidently become the season of the skirt. White cotton maxis, breezy linen midis, classic denim minis all have had their moment. Whether it’s the Sienna Miller effect, a collective boredom with always reaching for trousers, or the enduring pull of the boho aesthetic, it seems we’re all craving a fresher, freer silhouette. Enter the latest fashion find with a carefree spirit and a nostalgic twist: the return of the ra-ra skirt.
Spotted across the Spring/Summer 2025 runways—from the sharp styling at Rokh to the playful drama at Valentino—the tiered skirt has officially made its case as this year’s most charming wardrobe addition. Add to that a reported 2,000% spike in searches for “ra-ra skirts” on shopping platform Like to Know It in just the past week, and it’s safe to say the trend has well and truly taken hold.
