The skirt is finally taking a stand against years of denim domination. Jeans have been the center point around which our wardrobes turn, and while they're not going anywhere, we're welcoming the return of a feminine, everyday alternative to our beloved skinnies and slouchy boyfriends. Here are the five summer skirts every woman should have in her closet this summer with a variety of hemlines to flatter any figure.

1. The Asymmetric Wrap Mini Skirt: This sporty spin on the essential mini is perfect to wear on a night out with a silk tank or to weekend brunch with flat sandals and a chambray shirt. A win-win.

2. The Fluted Skirt: Try this silhouette in a mini or knee-length version—it's about as playful and flirty as they come. Just add tights to bring this trend into fall.

3. The Pleated Midi Skirt: This breezy skirt is a great option for long summer days at the office because it's comfortable, conservative and will look as good at happy hour as it did at your desk.

4. The Lace Pencil Skirt: Inspired by Burberry's Spring 2014 collection, we're craving candy-colored, knee-length skirts in ladylike lace and eyelet. Pair with a tucked-in blouse or boxy crop top.

5. The Dressy Maxi Skirt: Stand out from the pack and choose a formal maxi skirt in place of a dress to fancier occasions, like weddings and dinner parties.
