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.

Speaking of balance, you need to be conscious about what you wear up top. Forgo extremely cropped tops so you won't show too much skin. If you want to use the skirts as swimsuit cover-ups, go ahead. Opt for a two-piece boasting high-waisted bottoms if you really want to stretch your styling prowess.

You can even wear certain ones to work. Just make sure your top is a little longer than usual. Skin is never in at the office. Sportmax's Spring 2024 runway served up a pair of double-layered skirts that'll get the job done. Especially if you pick up the corresponding blazers.

Ready to see how low you can go? Here are the most stylish low-rise skirts to buy now and wear everywhere as soon as they arrive on your doorstep.
