How To Style A Midi Skirt – Hello friends! Today let’s talk midi skirts. Recently I was going down memory lane and looking at a bunch of old photos. Can you believe I’ve been blogging for 9 years!?! I love looking back at old photos. I still remember when I really loved clothes or when I fell in love with certain fashion trends (do you remember the bubble necklaces???). Looking through old photos made me realize how much I love midi skirts. I have been styling them for years. I wore them to my corporate job, when I was pregnant, in summer and even in winter. This is an easy item to wear all year round. I love having a few in my closet and I know they will always be worn.
Fashion trends change frequently. For example, who knew clogs would ever come back into style?! It’s hard to figure out what to invest in. Something I love this year may end up sitting in the back of my closet next year. But, I am sure that midi skirts are here to stay. I have worn it for years and wear it all year round!
How To Style A Midi Skirt
Have I convinced you that you need a midi skirt yet? Not sure how to style it? Don’t worry – I’ve listed some tips below on how to style a midi skirt during every season. Hope this helps!!
How To Wear A Midi Skirt With A Graphics T Shirt
I always love wearing midi skirts during the spring and summer months. And now that I am a mother, I love them more. I instantly feel like I’ve upgraded my style when I grab one. But, it is still active. I don’t have to worry about someone flushing when I run to pick up a spilled sippy cup. During the warmer months, I go for a more flowy midi skirt. The airflow that soft skirts provide is essential in the Texas heat. And I almost always pair it with a t-shirt or tank top. Both the tank and the tee can be tucked into the skirt. Or, for a fun detail, you can tie the tee to cinch in at your waistline. I wear sandals or tennis shoes with a skirt. It gives the whole outfit a more “relaxed” feel. If I want a more polished look, I’ll wear a pair of chunky heels. Pair with a purse or belt bag to complete the look.
For fall and winter, I replace my tee with a long sleeve shirt or I pair it with a jacket. I usually wear shoes or boots during these months. If I’m wearing a skirt with shoes, I usually choose toe shoes. A pointed toe elongates the entire look. For really cold days, you can wear over the knee boots with a skirt. If you wear a jacket or cardigan, I recommend wearing a tight tee or tank underneath to add some depth and shape to your outfit. If you want a more casual look, try pairing your skirt with a chunky sweater and sneakers. Are you looking for a more polished look? Add a padded headband.
I wasn’t sure I would be able to pull off a midi skirt when I was pregnant. But, I ended up loving her. My best tip is to find skirts with elastic waistbands. My second tip is to wear your skirt above your bum. The elastic waistband hugs your hips, which gives you some shape. I chose to wear a tight top tucked into a skirt. Again, it made my figure stand out a bit more. I tried wearing it without a top, but it didn’t work. Are you pregnant during the summer months? You can tie a tee that hangs over the top of a skirt or wear a crop top.
Midi skirts are great for work or formal events. The length of the skirt is perfect for this type of situation. I recommend grabbing a skirt with texture to create a more sophisticated look. I love wearing a velvet skirt, pleated skirt, or silk skirt for formal events. Pair the skirt with a top that can be tucked in or draped over the top of the skirt. I would recommend wearing a collared top to work. Add some beautiful jewelry and heels to finish off the look.
How To Style A Midi Skirt For Summer
Don’t have a midi skirt but love the look? Then the midi dress is the next best option. Add a tight top on top and tie it at your natural waist. Both dresses below look similar to midi skirts, but without the actual skirt. Well, I’m thrilled to be focusing a special style session on the blog featuring my favorite recent purchase from Abercrombie – a satin pleated midi-skirt. A kind of dress, capable of completely changing any mood? Well, sweet friends, this gorgeous satin midi from Abercrombie & Fitch does just that, and trust me, you’ll want to pick one up to add to your fall wardrobe this season.
First things first, let’s talk about this original skirt. One of the must have Abercrombie & Fitch releases this fall. In fact, I raved about all of this at the LTK fall sale. This flattering skirt runs true to size. I am wearing a size small. There is no zipper or clasp, just easy to pull on and off, but sits comfortably on the waist. And to further convince you that this skirt is a must-have for your fall wardrobe, let me share with you 3 ways to style this midi.
This sweater is a classic and very reasonably priced from H&M. I love a good sweater pairing and while usually a sweater and jeans make perfect sense, an outfit can be amazing by pairing sweaters over midi dresses. And I think my point is proven here!
Well, now that’s a good idea. Casually meet with a dress or vice versa. Take any outfit and add a big pop of personality by pairing it with a graphic tee. This takes the look to a whole new level of spunk and sass and creates endless wardrobe options! Also – these graphic tees are currently on sale at Nasty Gal.
How To Style A Faux Leather Midi Skirt
If I’m going to be really honest with you, I reached a new level of confidence while pairing this particular outfit with a satin midi skirt style high neck bodysuit. Something about the cut in both pieces gave me a confidence I haven’t felt in a while, and a good feeling to be back. I’m a firm believer in wearing pieces in your closet that allow you to look, but more importantly, feel your best. My hope for you is that at this point you feel it. You get it. Because this sister is yours.

The Floral Skirt Modernized For Spring
When styling this floral midi skirt, I stuck to a more neutral color palette and let the skirt be the focal point of the outfit. All tops are white and you likely have something similar in your closet! My goal with these style posts is never to make you feel like you need to buy a whole new outfit. I will be very helpful in giving you an idea of how just one piece can transform your wardrobe. I also kept it very basic if a more neutral skirt color isn’t your vibe, you can easily swap a more vibrant skirt into this outfit!
This would be a great work outfit for spring! i
