Flare or A-line skirt is a summer must-have. It’s easy breezy, girly and flirty, most of all, it flatters many body types. Today, I picked two totally different looks incorporated this classic shape, hope they can inspire you to style yours.

Usually in warm weather, we tend to choose light colors to pair with white skirt, or bright solid colors to complement a printed one. But this season, try to use a black top, it will highlight the skirt, give it a modern sophisticated vibe.

A white flare skirt is romantic and playful, Liu Wen toughened it up with a wide leather waist belt and lace up peep toe booties. A see-through mesh top adds sexiness. Her sleek hair and natural makeup really enhance the cool-girl effect. For a night out,  you can opt for a scarlet lip or a smoky eye (but never both).

Miranda Kerr always blends the urban chicness with femininity perfectly. This look is no exception. Black half sleeve top, ankle strap heels, structured tote and trendy sunnies made a girly floral printed skirt modern and chic.

Balance is always key. Like both of these ladies did, team an A-line, flare, full or skater skirt with fitted top and cinched waist.

Last time, we shared two ways to style a white blazer: one is bold, another is laid-back chic. If neither fit you, today’s looks you will surely love: two girly, sweet outfits from American’s sweetheart Reese Witherspoon.

Although she is already a mother-of-three, her looks always have a youthful, girly and optimistic flair. She knows her strength and what suits her best:

Start from the blazer, this particular one on her has a mix of subtle textures: twill, satin and leather (yes! the notched lapels are beautifully made of smooth white leather!) which give the whole look a luxurious, elegant and fashionable vibe.

White blazer creates the perfect canvas for beautiful bright colors. The fresh red printed skirt and blue dress on her are perfect for warm weather. To highlight her lean legs, she chose above-knee versions, with nude sandals, the total look is leg-elongating.

For women about her age, I would say don’t be afraid to try above-the-knee length skirt/dress, as long as you choose age-appropriate patterns/colors, and keep your arms covered with a cardigan or a well-tailored jacket.

Last but not least, accessories are great to keep up with trends without being overdone, like the white IT bag, safety chain cuff, strappy sandals and layered necklaces you see on the star.
