White skirts are the unsung heroes of the summer wardrobe — effortlessly elegant, endlessly versatile, and always in style. Whether you're dressing for a countryside lunch, a weekend garden party, or a seaside escape, the right white skirt can elevate your outfit with a fresh, feminine charm.
At Doyenne The Label, we believe in designing clothing that fits seamlessly into the lives of women who embrace both town and country. Our latest collection features two beautifully handmade white skirts — the Marlowe Skirt and the Fernleigh Skirt — crafted to bring timeless style and romantic detailing to your summer wardrobe. Here’s how to style them for the season ahead.
The Marlowe Skirt is our white midi-length broderie anglaise skirt, handmade in England from breathable cotton. It features a cotton cutwork panel down the front, a flattering A-line shape, and a gathered broderie ruffle at the hem that moves beautifully as you walk. Elegant yet practical, this piece is the epitome of countryside chic.
How to Style the Marlowe Skirt for Summer:
Countryside Weekend: Pair the Marlowe with a tucked-in linen blouse or soft knitwear for a charming weekend look. Add espadrille wedges and a woven basket bag.
Race Day or Summer Event: Dress it up with a silk cami and structured blazer. Think pearls, a wide-brimmed hat, and tan leather sandals.
Seaside Stroll: Style with a Breton stripe tee and a pair of white trainers for a clean, coastal feel.
The Marlowe Skirt works beautifully in both white and soft chambray blue — perfect if you’re looking to add variety to your summer staples while keeping a light, neutral palette.
The Fernleigh Skirt is a short A-line white linen skirt with intricate cotton cutwork inserts and a ruffled broderie anglaise frill at the hem. Zipping neatly at the back, this skirt offers a modern feminine shape that flatters and feels breezy on warm days.
How to Style the Fernleigh Skirt for Summer:
Picnic in the Park: Team with a cropped knit or tucked-in blouse and ballet flats. Add a headband and dainty jewellery for a youthful finish.
Summer Travel: Lightweight and easy to pack, pair it with a white or pale blue tank top and slides. A straw hat and oversized sunglasses complete the look.
Everyday Chic: Go tonal with an white button-down shirt (like the Cecily Blouse) and minimal sandals. The Fernleigh’s delicate detailing does all the talking.
Perfect for holidays, country escapes or simply elevating your day-to-day style, the Fernleigh Skirt brings ease and elegance to every summer outfit.
Why White Skirts Are a Summer Essential
Styling white skirts for summer opens a world of outfit possibilities — from minimalist monochrome to floral romance. They’re the perfect blank canvas for colour, texture, and accessories. Whether you lean into crisp tailoring or soft, floaty silhouettes, a white skirt will always offer that clean, classic summer look.
Our handmade skirts at Doyenne The Label are more than beautiful garments — they’re investment pieces made to last. Each one is crafted with care in England using premium fabrics and finished with thoughtful details that stand out.
Make Summer Styling Effortless
This season, embrace the ease and femininity of a white skirt. Whether you choose the midi-length Marlowe Skirt or the flirty Fernleigh Skirt, you’ll be adding a piece to your wardrobe that will carry you through summer events, getaways, and slow country mornings with equal grace.
Both styles are available now as part of our Meadowlight Collection — designed for women who love quiet luxury, countryside style, and meaningful craftsmanship.
