What To Wear With Midi Skirt

1. Strapless Top

Though a midi skirt may not be the first garment that comes to mind when you think of outfits appropriate for a hot summer’s day, these come in all fabrics and colors to suit any weather.

A floral midi skirt in cotton or linen pairs perfectly with a strapless top for a summer’s day, and the best news is that you won’t get any tan lines!

Pair this with flats for the perfect day of strolling around a farmers’ market or through cobbled European streets.

2. Co-ord Set

Styling a midi skirt for formal events can be tricky as they veer on being a more casual silhouette style. That being said, co-ord sets are an easy way always to look put together, so going for one with a more structured A-line shape is the best option.

Pair a white midi skirt with a matching top and statement accessories, like a bright-colored mini bag or sandals, for the perfect formal summertime outfit.

Wrap tops are an underappreciated garment but are a great option for a casual weekend look, paired with a flowy midi skirt.

Wrap tops are versatile and can be wrapped and tied to be as loose or tight as needed, lending itself to being coordinated with a flowy style of skirt.

For a casual look, pair it with the ever-popular ballet flats for a feminine daytime vibe.

6. Patterned Top

A style of skirt continuing to crop up in paparazzi photos of our favorite celebrities and models is the denim midi skirt. These are perfect for an ever-changing climate, as they can be dressed up with simple layers or with fun patterned tops for a warm summer’s day.

Complete this look with a pair of espadrilles and a fun shoulder bag to have the coolest outfit, even on a warm day.

7. Blazer

A blazer is a great choice for a professional look with longer skirts.  You can opt for any blazer, but long, oversized blazers have been all the rage in recent years. Fitted blazers are good for creating a tailored silhouette but can look formal if not styled carefully.

For a work-to-play outfit, swap out your court shoes for fun strappy pair of heels and a mini bag for a perfect “night out” outfit.

8. Black Sweater

Much like blazers, if you’re looking for an outfit that can be appropriate for both work and play, a simple black sweater is the best option for you to pair with your midi skirt.

In the winter months, this can be completed with black ankle boots, and mean you can head out on date night, straight from the office.

9. Multicolored Top

Colors are often under-discussed and even shied away when giving chic styling tips. However, being sophisticated should not come at the expense of sacrificing your individuality.

Whether you go for a skirt in a neutral tone or another solid color – try a multicolored top for a fun outfit.

10. Leather Jacket

For a great outfit for bar hopping or a relaxed night out, a black skirt with an edgy black leather jacket is the perfect fall/winter outfit.

Though chunky combat boots may seem an obvious choice to pair with this, strappy heels or even mules can give an interesting dimension to the outfit.

11. Classic White Shirt

Chambray shirts are back in vogue thanks to the resurgence of a more minimal style. This style is particularly chic when paired with a patterned midi skirt to offset the simplicity of the top.

As for the rest of the outfit, the patterned skirt is the statement piece here, so it would be a good idea to coordinate with minimal pieces, like kitten-heeled boots [knee-high boots are somewhat pointless here as they’d be covered by the skirt].

12. Black Strappy Top

The best way to style a super flowy skirt is with a top that shows a little bit of skin; this creates balance in the overall look and stops it from looking frumpy.

This one is more appropriate for when you need to be dressed up, and so for the rest of the outfit, you can go for a pair of strappy heels to dress it up.

13. V-neck Top

Much like a strappy or cropped top, a low-cut v-neck top gives that slight show of skin that pairs perfectly with a midi skirt. Depending on how low-cut your top is, this can be appropriate for daytime formal events.

This is a classic look, and so for the rest of the look; it’s best kept this way. Go for a classic pair of nude stilettos and simple classic jewelry.

14. Striped Top

A striped tank top is a classic to pair with many chic outfits, including a midi skirt. These stripes are a Parisian favorite and, inspired by the uniform of the French Navy, represent the country’s rich garment history.

Keeping the chic French style, the rest of the outfit should be kept neutral and clean.

15. Black Turtleneck

Skirts are not often associated with winter dressing; however, styled correctly, this is a year-round staple. A classic black turtleneck is a must-have if you live in a colder climate, as it can be easily styled and layered for a chic look.

Pair this look with stockings if it’s a particularly cold day, as well as a pair of thick socks and ankle boots for an extra [hidden] layer of warmth.
