The debate over skinny jeans rages on. Once relegated to the early aughts when they also came with über-low waists, recent runways pushed the silhouette back into the fashion lexicon. Whether you're psyched or disappointed to witness this resurgence, there's one thing everyone can agree on. Skin-tight denim is not exactly practical when it's really hot out. Low-rise skirts are a totally different story.

Before you begin to sweat stressing that we're about to try and push some low-waist, Miu Miu-style micro skirts on you, take a deep breath. We'll be doing nothing of the sort. Actually, we're advocating for the opposite. The best low-rise skirts are the midi or maxi varieties. It's all about balance because you need to counteract the plunging waistband. Although their lower rise allows extra ventilation, which we'll definitely need throughout this hotter-than-ever summer.
