Midi skirts are a timeless style—the mid-calf length and array of styles can add a classic touch to your outfit. Unlike other skirts, you can wear them both casually or formally. It’s just a matter of the type of midi skirt you choose, as well as the top you wear with it.

If you’ve never worn a midi skirt, you might not know where to begin. That’s why we’ve created this list of the best ways to wear a midi skirt.

1. Pair It With an Oversized Sweater

A cold winter day calls for a chunky sweater. Luckily, an oversized sweater pairs well with midi skirts. To avoid looking bigger than you actually are, don’t leave the sweater untucked. Simply tuck the front of the sweater into your midi skirt for a cozy and stylish look.

2. Go Casual With It

Like I mentioned earlier, a midi skirt isn’t only for formal occasions. You can easily transform your look from dressy to casual by wearing your midi skirt with a graphic t-shirt and sneakers.

3. Have Fun With Patterns

Solid-colored midi skirts aren’t your only options. Feel free to play around with fun patterns and prints. Just make sure that your top meshes well with your skirt’s pattern! The funky black and white pattern in the above ASOS Design Pleated Midi Skirt goes perfectly with the white sneakers and white tank.

4. Make It Minimalist With a Plain T-Shirt

You’ve always heard the expressions “less is more,” and the same can apply to a midi skirt. If you want a simplistic look, wear a plain t-shirt or long sleeve shirt with a solid-colored midi skirt. Although this outfit might seem plain, the midi skirt’s unique style can instantly spruce it up.

5. Add a Cardigan

The combination of a cardigan and midi skirt looks casual, yet classy. After you learn how to style a cardigan, you’ll have no trouble wearing one with a midi skirt. Try to pick a cardigan that’s waist-length—any longer and you’ll risk looking frumpy.

6. Try a Denim Mini Skirt

Denim mini skirts were once all the rage, and now denim midi skirts have stolen the spotlight. You might feel hesitant about wearing a full denim skirt, but you just have to wear it with the right top. A button-up blouse with a blazer can give you a more professional look, while a graphic t-shirt will give you that awesome 90s vibe.

7. Get a Two-Piece Set

Misguided’s Two-Piece Knitted Midi Skirt set makes getting dressed easy—it combines a form-fitting jade midi skirt with an equally stylish top. A two-piece set is perfect to wear to a club or party, as it almost looks like a dress!

8. Wear a Crop Top

Want another party-friendly midi skirt look? Simply tuck in one of your favorite silky camis, and strap on a pair of heels. This sleek style goes exceptionally well with a midi skirt on the tighter side. Better yet, you can throw a blazer over your cami to wear this look to work.

10. Rock It With a Sophisticated Turtle Neck

Midi Skirts Offer Plenty of Possibilities
