For the warmer months of the year, rising hemlines and miles of bare leg can be expected to make a splash. As the temperatures soar, fashionistas will be swapping their loose trousers for free-falling and sultry wrap skirts. This season, it’s officially time to wrap it up and trade your usual bottoms for Summer 2016’s latest runway trend. Whether you’re heading to work or play, here are a few chic and versatile ways to rock the look now.

Casual Chic

For a carefree weekend ensemble, take your sartorial cues from the DKNY runway. Style a black and white pinstriped wrap skirt with a basic white T-shirt, and add a pair of black slip-on ankle boots for a finishing touch. The classic black and white colour combination keeps the entire outfit looking timeless, while the ankle boots add a rock and roll vibe.

Work Wear

As you head into your next morning meeting or after work event, look no further than the Michael Kors catwalk for your sartorial inspiration. Accessorize a mustard-coloured suede wrap skirt with a snowy white collared blouse, for a graceful and perfectly coordinated ensemble. Meanwhile, strappy brown leather wedges, a textured snakeskin print tote bag and oversized yellow disc earrings add a finishing touch.

Evening

As you prepare for a night of dinner and cocktails, try stepping out in a red leather wrap skirt (as spotted at Topshop Unique). For a contrasting effect, slip into a blush pink floral print blouse and add decorative floral earrings. If the temperature suddenly turns chilly, toss on a pale mint green cardigan for a feminine and preppy finish.
