Summer is all about breathable fashion options, andKatie Holmesis showing us exactly how to transition our wardrobe as we head into the warmest season.

Early last week, the actress was spotted taking a phone call while walking in New York City, and she tapped into the summer-ready style that goes with practically everything in your closet. Holmes wore a white pleated maxi skirt with a lightweight sweater and flats, proving the no-white before Labor Day rule really is a thing of the past.

Maxi skirts are a top choice for summer weather, especially when they have flattering pleats like the one Holmes recently wore. Not only do the skirts serve as a foundation that can pair with any kind of top, but they also offer tons of breathing room which is optimal for hot weather — all while offering full coverage of the legs.

You can get in on the white maxi skirt trend for as little as $30 with theNashalyly Tiered Maxi Skirt. The boho-style skirt is designed with breathability in mind thanks to its three tiers of ruching. It has a high waist and adjustable drawstring for a flattering, custom fit, and it even has pockets. In addition to white, you can get the popular skirt in 14 other summer hues, including green, orange, and yellow.

It’s machine washable, comes in 15 gorgeous colors like pink, blue, and purple, and is just $31.
