Yahoo Lifestyle Dua Lipa's bikini top and white ruffled mini 'fit confirms rara skirts are back
For fashion insiders the world over, September signals a new sartorial season. It simultaneously showcases the upcoming spring trends to know, while also signalling the autumn winter trends first viewed back in February can finally be donned with aplomb. So, with the end of August in sight and our minds already looking to the next, we didn't expect to be championing a last minute summer hit.
And yet, that's exactly what we're doing, thanks to Dua Lipa giving the humble rara skirt (also known as rah-rah skirt) her official seal of approval. The '80s OG was spotted on many a spring summer 2024 runway – at Miu Miu, Molly Goddard and Loewe to name just a few – however, its pickup IRL was slower off the mark. Though we predict that's all about to change thanks to Dua greenlighting the look.
Yep, summer's not over quite yet, so here's your cue to snap up a rara skirt of your own.
Sharing a photo on Instagram, the snap is one of many glimpses into the artist's 29th birthday weekend she's given fans. But it was this specific outfit, from all the holiday looks she wore, that grabbed our attention.
Follow Dua's lead and opt for a classic white ruffled mini skirt. Pair it with a patterned string bikini top, ideal for lounging poolside on your late summer getaway, then switch it up with a coordinating floaty white top that will effortlessly dress up your rara skirt come evening.
