Kaia Gerber shakes up the summer white skirt trend with classic ballet flats and a vintage tee

Kaia Gerber spent a scorching hot day in New York City trying out the summer trend of white skirts. But there's a catch: unlike other celebrities and fashion insiders who have been sporting breezy midi and maxi-length skirts this season, Gerber's white skirt outfit featured a hint of vintage and classic ballet shoes.

The model and Celine Pilates muse stepped out for a coffee run on July 10 in a white midi skirt with a ruffled hem and slight floral detailing. Instead of a black tank top or T-shirt like most other white skirt trend participants wore, Kaia Gerber pulled out a vintage T-shirt that sells for $19.99 on Amazon. (Her three-step outfit was paired with timeless ballet shoes courtesy of Repetto.

For most of the summer, Garber has styled outfits to her own beat. One day she tapped into the controversial skirt-pants trend, the next she combined boho and minimalist coordinates. But if a universally loved outfit is going into her casual closet, the white midi skirt is the obvious choice.

Here is a non-exhaustive list of celebrities who endorsed white skirts (and often dark-toned shirts for contrast): Jennifer Lawrence wore a poplin white maxi skirt with a navy sweater for spring. Sofia Richie Grainge contrasted her white skirt with a black strapless top. Katie Holmes also went the soft and cozy route with a flowing maxi and Khaite knit. And the list goes on and on, right down to the street style of civilians.

Throughout Fashion Month and into the summer, editors and fashion observers are also wearing their best white skirts. Creator Annie Tara Shova summed up its appeal in an earlier report for Marie Claire: "I love the fresh, clean look it gives to any outfit."

The white skirt is also a great way to add a touch of color to any outfit.

All of those dressers have worn skirts in subtly different ways, from pairing white eyelets with a solid T-shirt to pairing a ruffled top with the energy of a flowing tiered skirt. Kaia Gerber's take on the white skirt trend is all about understated contrast: no one else so far has chosen a highlight yellow vintage tee and a dainty ballerina at the same time.
