Perfect for the hot, hot days of summer, classic denim miniskirts are the best alternative to shorts. Their simple and timeless design makes them most compatible with graphic tees, linen blouses, or tank tops. For a comfortable look that’s perfect for a trip to Hawaii—regardless of whether you’re actually going, or just want to evoke the feeling of the beach—pair yours with strappy sandals and a woven bag. Going to the office? Swap in a button-down shirt, leather belt, and heels instead.
