How to style a midi skirt for every season and occasion
Perennially chic and infinitely wearable, the midi skirt is a true classic that no woman’s closet should be without
As the hardest-working item in many women’s closet, the midi skirt is not only universally flattering, it also boasts the kind of wear-with-anything appeal that makes it a year-round styling essential. This season, take your cues from Gucci and Zimmermann, whose full-skirted, patterned styles are ideal with a crisp cotton tee and espadrilles come day, or sandals at night – a chic, easy look that works for myriad occasions.
For something a little more understated but no less voluminous, choose a pleated skirt to bring a touch of drama to your daytime look, or opt for a slinky slip à la model Adut Akech, who wore hers with a statement blazer for a refined spin on model-off-duty style. Keen to update your workwear wardrobe? Simple ecru skirts are an office-appropriate take on the trend that feel fresh for summer – look to Italian label Giuliva Heritage, which blends the functionality of men’s tailoring with feminine details to create pieces that work for the boardroom and brunch. Follow in the stylish footsteps of Italian influencer Erika Boldrin and wear yours with sculptural heels, finishing with a color-pop sweater for a look that transitions seamlessly from desk to after-dark.
