ANDundecided? Fashion has good news for you: the asymmetric skirt is back in fashion. Not the one short at the front and long at the back, a memory of certain years of the 2000s that were difficult to defend, but a more refined versionbuilt on oblique cuts, side lengths and irregular hems. A model that gives movement, character and solves the most common dilemma of the season: mini, midi or long?
When in doubt, all together. From the Spring-Summer 2026 catwalks they arrive the look ideas, which rely on fluid, sculpted or leather silhouettes, ready to open up to infinite styling possibilities. Here are some.
Where we have already seen it
Fashion has always had a weakness for irregular hemlines, capable of messing up the silhouette and transforming even the simplest garment into a style statement. From the fluid constructions of twenties, designed to accompany the movement of the body, until the great return of the “high-low” hems in the late 2000s and early 1910s. Discover and cover, this is the dilemma that SS26 fashion solves with transparent models, cargo, with fringes, volumes important and hems irregular.

Between boldness and irregularity, the season’s reference model comes from Bottega Venetain the first collection designed by Louise Trotter for the maison. On the catwalk, the asymmetric skirt becomes adult: in dark blue woven leatherwith a shorter part that still remains below the knee and a longer one that slips beyond the ankle.
How to match the asymmetric skirt this summer
The chicest way to wear it? Bottega Veneta pairs it with a striped shirt of the color of the skirt, with slightly turned-up sleeves. To complete: Butter yellow high-heeled pumps and a navy blue metallic clutch bag. For everyday styling, great classics are chosen such as a masculine shirt, a white tank top, a thin polo shirt, a fitted T-shirt or a slim blazer.

Even if the shoes are often the most critical point. The stacked pumps, like at Bottega Veneta, I’m therea more sophisticated choice. THE heeled sandals slim or kitten heels work well for evening wear the slingback they are the easiest alternative for the day.
However, large boots, chunky sneakers and large platforms should be avoided. The secret is to let the irregular hem make the look: everything else must follow it discreetly.
