How to choose and wear a midi skirt

A skirt that ends between the knee and the ankle, usually mid-calf. It works with trainers, boots and heels alike, which makes it one of the most adaptable pieces in a woman's wardrobe.

How to choose

  • Pleated, slip (bias-cut) and A-line midis are the most versatile shapes.
  • A fabric with movement (satin, crepe, fine wool) looks expensive; stiff cotton can look heavy at this length.
  • Neutral or deep colours first; prints are easier once the basics are covered.

Common mistakes

  • A long, loose top over it, hiding the waist.
  • Ankle boots that stop just below the hem, cutting the leg in half.
  • Too many layers of volume: full skirt, full sleeves, big coat.

Care: Hang by loops; steam pleats rather than ironing them flat.

In a capsule: A capsule piece that dresses up or down as easily as trousers.

The details

Length, how to wear it and fabric

What makes the colours above look deliberate.

Length
Ends mid-calf: ankle boots, heels or flats all work, and knee-high boots close the gap in winter.
How to wear it
Tuck in or half-tuck the top to mark the waist; a cropped knit also works.
Fabric
The same brown in a different weight: cotton or linen for summer, wool, flannel or heavier cotton for winter.

Avoid

What not to wear with brown midi skirt

Skip the olive linen shirt. Brown and olive are both neutral but similar in depth, so the outfit reads soft.
Skip the light blue denim jacket. A denim jacket is more casual than a midi skirt, so the pairing only works in a deliberately mixed outfit. Colour-wise it works: light blue is cool and bright against warm brown; it works, but white or grey would be crisper.
