This past weekend, I made my weekly trip to the local farmers’ market to pick up fresh veggies and fruit (and, fine, indulge in some tasty snacks from all the stands). Right when I walked in, I saw a woman wearing a tiered maxi skirt; I instantly thought, “Oh, well isn’t that so much cuter than my sweaty leggings” (which I had worn straight from barre class), but went along my way in my less-than-chic look. Within the half hour or so that it took me to grab all my usuals, though, I noticed no less than three more women were wearing the style, and now I can’t stop thinking about adding one to my own closet.
While I’d argue that the look never really went out of style in my corner of beachy Southern California, the widespread return of the tiered maxi skirt plays into tons of trends I’ve been seeing lately—from Garden Girl to Regencycore (albeit with a more casual twist)—so I can totally see why it has become so popular again, especially in the summer months when easy, breezy and a little bit boho is the way to go. There are plenty of options out there to shop, but I’ve rounded up five of my faves that all come in at less than $130, so you can pick one up for yourself (and look like all of the cool women at my farmers’ market) without breaking the bank.
