This slightly awkward length can sometimes turn people off from midi skirts – I know that I was once told I couldn’t wear them because I’m short and they would cut my legs and make me look shorter. But I bought one anyway, because I wanted to, and I wear it a lot and always get compliments on it, so whatever! The point is that they aren’t as difficult to wear as you might think, and they are also very cute and chic, so they’re definitely worth trying. You can opt for something classic, like a solid color button down, or something a little bit more on the funky side, like a metallic shade. Whatever you do, there are lots of ways to wear it. Check out these style tips on how to wear midi skirts this fall:
1. Add a fitted jacket and sneakers. Plain sneakers make any midi skirt look more casual. A metallic midi skirt is look a little more fancy – balance that out with sneakers and a fitted jacket.
2. Wear it with tights. A pair of tights is the easiest way to transition a skirt from warmer weather to cooler weather. Wear your midi skirt and tights with ankle boots and a sweater to stay cozy.
3. Pair it with a button down shirt. Some fall days are still warm enough to wear sandals. Make a midi skirt and sandals look autumn ready by adding a button down shirt.
4. Add a leather jacket. Opt for one that is more fitted so it doesn’t overwhelm your frame. Ankle boots or combat boots give a feminine skirt a little bit of an edge.
5. Tuck in a sweater. Wear your midi skirt with a fitted sweater and tuck it in to make the look more polished. Ankle boots are also a definite go-to.
