If you're on the hunt for more staples to add to your summer capsule wardrobe, then this breezy skirt and cropped shirt combination should be a top contender. The shape of her skirt is classic and feminine, and the cropped shirt adds a modern, playful element that's perfect for summer styling.

Her outfit consisted of a flowing white midi-skirt from the luxury Italian fashion house Valentino with a matching cropped white shirt, a two-piece that costs in the range of £4000. However, the look was finished off by affordable white slingback heels from Charles & Keith that feature a unique red rose stiletto, which really makes these shoes stand out.

Charles & Keith is a firm favourite amongst many of our favourite a-listers, including J-Lo and Eva Longoria, and the unconventional take on these chalk slingbacks confirms why the brand is such as hit. J-Lo recently was spotted with the trending Crescent Hobo Bag.

Our woman&home Digital Fashion Editor Caroline Parr comments on this look, "I love the modern twist the boxy crop top gives to this classically elegant flared skirt on Nicole. White cotton is so fresh for summer, and the floral heels are right on trend too—look at all Blake Lively's recent outfits!"

Maxi or mid-length breezy skirts are really having a moment this year, falling in line with the summer fashion trends of 2024. With stars such as Eva Mendes, Helen Skelton, and even Jo Whiley wearing skirts to create outfits that give off an effortless daytime chic.

Flowy skirt silhouettes are also an excellent choice if you're looking for styles to flatter your body shape. Your waist is highlighted by the cinched in detailing of a waistband, and the contrasting looser fabric in the skirt creates a fabulous hourglass shape.
