Last week it was all about shorts, but now it’s time for skirts to have their moment. And not just any old skirts, mind – skater skirts!

They come in all shapes and sizes and can be dressed up or down, but today we’re focusing on glamorous skirts that are fit for the finest clubs, bars and parties. Here are five of our favourites:

1.– If you want to instantly make a statement, donning a fierce print is the way forward – and prints don’t come fiercer than leopard! Quiz animal print skater skirt, £14.99

2.– Diamonds may be a girl’s best friend, but we wouldn’t snub gold, either. This gold skater skirt is a perfect example of why we love the metallic trend – team it with a simple black top for maximum effectiveness! Boohoo Grace metallic PU skater skirt, £15

3.– Can’t decide what colour to wear? With this skirt from Asos, you really don’t have to make a choice! Perfect for those parties with a “go big or go home” dresscode. Asos foil print skater skirt, £18

4.– The weather may not be what it used to, but that doesn’t mean we have to shy away from bright colours. Defy seasonal conventions with this ultra bright skater skirt! River Island pink textured skater skirt, £18

5.– Two textures for the price of one; this skirt is as playful as it is edgy. Team with some tough talking booties and your “don’t mess with me” transformation is complete! Topshop blue contrast hem skater skirt, £38
