If you've been waiting for the weather to warm up so that you can dive into the spring/summer fashion trends 2026, take inspiration from Jennifer Lopez when it comes to how to wear skirts for this season. The singer, actress and entrepreneur shared a photo of herself on Instagram as she arrived in Las Vegas for the final run of her musical residency at The Colosseum at Caesar's Palace.
Skirts are set to be the hero piece of the season, replacing the dress as a versatile separate that will seamlessly slip into your spring capsule wardrobe. Jennifer Lopez has long been a fan of high-waisted styles, helping to show off her waist, and she is often spotted teaming hers with a classic white shirt and heels for a stylish, pared-back outfit.
With an hourglass figure, Jennifer Lopez knows that the combination of a high waisted skirt with cinched detailing such as a belt coupled with a classic white shirt is a winning look for complementing her curves. We love how she's updated this timeless combination by contrasting the elegant cut of her longline olive pencil skirt with an oversized white shirt instead of a fitted style. Coupled with a stack of gold bracelets, hoop earrings and a Hermés Birkin in black crocodile, the relaxed fit of the shirt takes the look from buttoned up to laidback and luxurious with one simple styling tweak.
KEEP IT CLASSIC IN SIMPLE SEPARATES

Make like JLO and wear your oversized white shirt unbuttoned low at the neck for a risqué contrast to the fitted and formal pencil skirt. You can add a lace camisole underneath for extra coverage.
In a lightweight textured tweed, this structured skirt will keep its shape all day while the front split allows for comfort and easy movement.
The Hermés Birken might be one of the best designer handbags but if your budget doesn't quite stretch to £55,000, we've found a pretty good look-a-like.
Add a touch of Hollywood glamour to your outfit with a pair of oversized sunglasses. This style from Saint Laurent oozes 'no pictures, please!'
Lopez's Bulgari Serpent watch creates an instant arm candy stack with its winding strap but don't worry, there's plenty of affordable jewellery alternatives too.
Statement earrings are a great way to draw the eye up towards the face, creating a shortening of Lopez's daring neckline and highlighting her features.
It's not just pencil skirts that this combination of silhouettes works well with - next time you're wondering how to style a slip skirt for the new season, try swapping your favourite fitted top for an oversized shirt to create contrast in your outfit.
While it may be tempting to add more jewellery to this look, keep your trinkets to two areas like JLo has - by styling her outfit with items at the wrist and statement earrings, she keeps the look elegant and refined.
