The Skant: Your Go-To Style Solution as Summer Blends into Fall

Summer’s heat may still be lingering, but fall is already creeping into our thoughts—and our wardrobes. Rather than making a stark switch from breezy shorts and sundresses to heavy pants and denim, there’s a stylish in-between: the skant.

What’s a Skant?

A skant is essentially a well-executed mashup—a pair of trousers fused with a skirt overlay. It offers the layered look we love, minus the hassle. Vogue’s writer tried a sheer brown version from Paloma Wool last season, pairing it with a simple tank and sandals during humid summer days, then switching to a cozy cardigan as the air turned crisp.

Celebrity Skant Moments

It’s not just fashion editors who are embracing the skant trend—celebrities are stepping out in them too. Jennifer Lawrence was spotted rocking sheer navy pants topped with a midi skirt, complete with a slouchy tee and Prada kitten heels—a perfect blend of casual and chic.

Kaia Gerber layered a gray mini skirt over straight-leg trousers (also by Paloma Wool), elevating her basics with unexpected depth.

Brands like Collina Strada, MM6, and ASOS have also jumped on the skant bandwagon—proof that this look is having a moment.

Not a Skant Fan? Try Dress-over-Pants

If you’re seeking a different spin, consider the elegant simplicity of a dress layered over pants. Kendall Jenner embraced this look last October, wearing a KNWLS mini dress draped over flared trousers—a low-effort, high-style way to navigate seasonal transitions.
