Let me shine a light on midi skirts friends! They are seriously my obsession and something that I find I wear year-round! Not only are they super easy to wear, but I can still chase my kids around without exposing anything, while looking more stylish and put together. It’s definitely a win for me!

I know a lot of people are hesitant about midi skirts and are afraid to wear them because they don’t want to look frumpy. But they are an item that looks good on everyone! You just have to find the right fit and style! Since they are something I gravitate towards, I thought I would share a few ways to style them, as well as some tips to keep in mind! Especially for you petite girls! You can wear midi skirts also!

Midi Skirts

A midi skirt is in between a maxi skirt and a mini skirt, hence the name. The length typically hits between your knee and ankle, falling midway down your calf (although this does depend on how tall you are). Remember: you can always take your skirt to be tailored to ensure proper fit!

Current Favorites

I typically tend to gravitate towards a high slit style, because it adds movement to the outfit while elongating your look. If you are more on the petite side, this is a key style, as it won’t make you look shorter the way a more traditional midi skirt would!

Key // Remember Proportions

I think one of the most important things to remember is to balance proportions. If you choose a flowy midi skirt, try to balance out the top by pairing it with a form fitting top, bodysuit or a crop top! This is especially important if you are on the petite side. Having a defined waist will help keep the look from overpowering your frame!

Three Ways to Style a Midi Skirt

Midi Skirts Look 1 // Casual Cool

The perfect look if you are going to the park or running errands! The white tennis shoes keep it casual, while the graphic tee adds the perfect amount of “cool.” You can also wear a cropped graphic tee, like this one! I always add a little knot to my tee to add a fun little element and help define my waist! Pair it with some hoop earrings and add a classic denim jacket if you get cold and you are good to go! It’s as simple as that! Styling suggestion: If you wear a cropped tee, make sure your skirt is more high-waisted! It will help keep everything proportionate and balanced! Also,

Midi Skirts Look 2 // Chic and Edgy

This look is perfect for a date night or girl’s brunch! You can wear this year-round, depending on where you live! With some pointed toe ankle boots that elongate your legs, a black fedora hat and some dainty jewelry, you can keep this outfit chic, while adding a little bit of edge! Also keep in mind, that not every sweater is meant to be paired with skirts. I typically avoid super chunky sweaters and instead opt for a thinner material, allowing for my shirt to tuck nicely into my skirt without being bulky!

Midi Skirts Look 3 // California Cool

For this last look, it’s all about that effortless California style. Living by the beach, this is a look I wear often! It keeps me cool, makes me feel put together and is just a fun vibe! You can wear a simple crop tank or a bodysuit! I love one that has feminine details like the shoulder tie-straps! Pair it with some sandals and a wicker-style crossbody and you are ready to go! This is something I would wear shopping, as it’s easy to slip in and out of!
