This Skirt Trend Is Sofia Richie Grainge's Secret To The Perfect Vacation Outfit

Decisions, decisions, decisions. There are oh so many to make when you're planning a getaway. For starters, where should you go? (Here are some ideas for your next vacation, according to your zodiac sign.) Then, there's what to wear on the plane — we are always on the hunt for travel outfits that are both chic and comfy. And, of course, one of the most important considerations is what clothes to pack for your time away.

Cue: Sofia Richie Grainge, whose maxi skirt is not only on-trend for summer 2025, but might just be the secret to the perfect vacation outfit. While she summered in the French Riviera, she wore a striped style from her collaboration collection with Tommy Hilfiger. And we are here (and there) for it. Why? For starters, a maxi is versatile: It can be chic and breezy for daytime, or dressed up for the evening, meaning you'll get multiple wears from this one item. And because we dare not make it only about aesthetics, a maxi is practical. It can shield legs from hot sun, dust, mosquitoes, or an unexpectedly chilly evening when the sun goes down. Stylish and practical? Vacation dressing 101.

One of the top tips for creating a perfect vacation capsule wardrobe is picking a color scheme, so everything in your suitcase will coordinate. Sofia Richie Grainge's black-and-white maxi skirt is an ideal color combo to pick, as the black and white will coordinate with tons of basics. Grainge wore hers with a black tank and sandals, keeping it simple and elegant.

Another way to wear a maxi skirt on vacation is over a swimsuit or bikini top. It can serve as either a swim coverup or a sexy style to wear while lunching at a café beachside. It's a look that celebs like Beyoncé, Kendall Jenner, Jennifer Lopez, and Sienna Miller have all rocked. Or take inspiration from Sasha Obama, who paired her maxi with a once-outdated shoe trend. She wore a brown maxi skirt, beige bandeau top, and turquoise ballet flats for a vacation look that oozed casual sophistication.

For sight-seeing and something more casual, try pairing sneakers and a '90s-inspired baby tee with your maxi skirt. The tiny tee offers a counterbalance to the voluminous skirt. And of course, finish any of these looks with fun jewelry, stylish sunglasses, and a great bag, and voilà, vacation outfit perfection.
