Jessica Alba is ringing in another year. The actress celebrated her 43rd birthday with a party packed with delicious food, a mariachi band, and plenty of loved ones. And her outfit included the breathable spring style that you should be stocking up on now.

Alba went for contrasting bold prints with her short-sleeve shirt and maxi skirt combination. Her cropped top had a button-down silhouette with tan and white pinstripes and a tie knot at the center. She layered it over a long, airy skirt by Carolina K that had a fun geometric pattern consisting of orange, red, white, and black shapes.

Gisele Bündchen recently wore a denim midi skirt with a comfy flare hem, and you can combine two trends with this flowy flared skirt that has a preppy paisley print. The flare style has chiffon layers that are elegant and allow more airflow, which is ideal for warm weather. And it has an elastic waistband that stretches to support you. “This is incredibly comfortable and fashionable,” one five-star reviewer shared.

For those worried about maxi silhouettes being too warm, you can combat that with a side slit, like the one in this printed Anthropologie skirt. Plus, it allows you to show off your sandals or white sneakers. The silhouette of the skirt is more fitted at the waist and hips and flares out at the hem for a leg-elongating effect. And the asymmetrical pattern is unique and elegant, so you could wear it from work to happy hour.

Printed maxi skirts are a seasonal staple you can wear instead of jeans and shorts. Keep reading for more of our favorite options inspired by Jessica Alba from Abercrombie & Fitch, Revolve, and more.
