5 Fresh Ways To Style A Midi Skirt You Haven’t Thought Of Yet

by Laura Lajiness Kaupke

We’ve waxed poetic about the wonder that is the midi skirt. The universally flattering silhouette works for literally every body shape—yes, even for petites, who needn’t worry that the longer length will cut them off (and if one does, the tailor is your friend)—and comes in myriad iterations, from denim to floral to utility-inspired. We love these skirts for their versatility, too. They’re brilliant at the office, can be sexy for date night and even work off-duty with basics like tanks, tees and slides. Oh, and for summer, they’re faultless in scorching weather: Pair with a lightweight top, gorgeous earrings and easy shoe. Okay, you get it—we’re officially obsessed, so it makes sense that we curated five fresh outfits for warm weather. Whether you gravitate toward minimal, graphic or super girly, there’s something for you; get your inspo ahead.

Midi Skirts For Summer

Temper a satin crop with a mid-length denim skirt and tonal block-heeled sandals. An eye-catching bag and sculptural earrings make the look über-modern.

Keep a pared-back ensemble interesting with an asymmetrical midi, a structured tank and effortless slides. A sleek satchel and delicate earrings are subtly chic extras.

Streamline a graphic print with a simple camisole and neutral add-ons—raffia and wooden accents feel decidedly summer.

A puff-sleeve top, satin slides and an acrylic bag take the stiffness out of pinstripes. Floating thread earrings are a cool touch.

A wrap skirt is memorable when done in a bright color-block palette. A simple camisole, block-heeled sandals and wicker bag are heat-proof extras. Coordinating jewels are ideal lively additions.
