The knee-length skirt has returned, and the Spring 2027 collections have made it the defining shape of the moment. It lands right at the knee, neither too short nor too long, which lets the shoes take as much attention as the fabric. Readers planning a season of luncheons in Palm Beach or gallery evenings in New York can take it as a cue: the hem to bring home sits just at the knee.

With reporting from Harper's Bazaar.
