We Looked for Midi Skirts To Take You Into Fall...

Midi skirts are a fave style that feels just right this time of year.

After all, your legs are still a little tan, it’s way too soon to bundle up, and, well, they’re pretttttty and flattering. Wear them now with a sneaker or a flat, and wear them later this season with tights and a great pair of boots.

Our take?

Skip the fussy skirts (tulle, brocade) and instead opt for casual versions—elastic waists, denim, cotton—that you’ll be comfortable wearing from a coffee shop to a cocktail party and go for colors that can take you into fall.

Here are our top styling tips:

• Mix textures to add interest. Silky skirt? Pair it with a crisp button-down or a boxy or oversized sweater.
• Find a shape that works on your body. If you have narrow hips, a column shape is great. Big chest? Balance it out with a skirt that has some volume. Have a bit of a midsection? Avoid pleats and look for an elastic waistline that allows for a loose French tuck.
• Want a dash of irreverence? Top it with a graphic T-shirt.
• Short jackets and blazers make great toppers. We like cropped versions with the midi skirt the most, but you can also go extra long (consider a vest that hits somewhere along the thigh) for extra coverage.
