When it comes to clothing, white is the quintessential summer color. And in summer 2021, there's no better way to wear it than a cute white skirt. From sporty tennis skorts to sleek midi slips to classic jean skirts, these white skirts are a worthy addition to any woman's summer wardrobe.
White Tennis Skirts
While sporty white tennis skirts used to be worn exclusively at yuppie country clubs and tennis tournaments, they've now hit the mainstream thanks to the latest Tik-Tok fashion trend. So this summer, try a casual athletic skirt or pleated tennis skort as a fashionable alternative to your yoga pants, sweats, and athletic shorts.
