When it comes to summer fashion, people understandably gravitate towards bright colours and airy fabrics. In swapping winter staples for warm-weather favourites, though, many overlook the versatility of the black skirt, which, even on the hottest days, provides the perfect foundation for countless outfits.

Below, we’ve rounded up three easy-to-recreate combinations as a reminder that black skirts deserve a place in your wardrobe all year round.
