Ways to wear midi skirts (and the tops to match)

With a new season comes a change of wardrobe and if ever there was a style to take you from summer to autumn it’s the midi skirt. Their trans-seasonal staple status is down to their easy layerability - they can be worn with anything from light and loose t-shirts in late summer, to jumpers and tights when the weather turns. Discover our favourite midi skirts for the new season, plus the knitwear and tops to wear them with.

1. Printed midi skirt with a matching top

A chic co-ord is such a versatile wardrobe option, it’s like three outfits in one. Pair the midi skirt with this blouse in the same print for a top-to-toe dress look, or wear them separately when the occasion requires. The black base on this floral print makes it an easy style to take from warm summer days to cooler autumn climes, when you can layer the co-ord with knitwear like an oversized cardigan in matching black.

2. Pleated midi skirt with a fine jumper

Pleated skirts are the perfect day-to-night, desk-to-dinner, dress-up or down piece and this midi style in a shiny satin finish is no different. When styling with a t-shirt or long sleeve top, choose a piece in blue to match the icy hue of the skirt. We think navy works best and love the slight gathers in this jumper that match the feminine and floaty silhouette of the skirt. For a little something extra, wear with boots and a pair of sparkly socks.

3. A-line midi skirt with a knitted jumper

Animal print is a wardrobe staple you’ll get wear out of year round. Our styling tip? Pair this A-line midi skirt with a black blouse or jumper on top to really let the spotted animal pattern pop. We like the semi-sheer finish and frilly cuffs of this knitted pointelle jumper as it’s a little more dressy and detailed. To finish? Keep the styling sleek with matching black boots.

4. Pencil midi skirt with a pussy bow blouse

Whether you’re office bound or working from home, this pencil midi skirt has your smart/casual look covered, in a rosy pink shade that adds a little femininity to the corduroy fabric it’s cut from. For office days, keep the look elevated with a floaty pussy bow blouse in a light colour, while a star motif jumper in grey is a more comfortable choice for days spent #WFH.

5. Button through midi skirt with a broderie trim jumper

For something a little more casual, choose a dark denim button-through midi skirt and pair it with a fine knit jumper - this grey marle style has a sweet broderie trim that adds a little interest to the laid-back look. For something a little more colourful? We think the fuchsia pink of this slouchy jumper really pops against the blue denim, perfect for wearing on dark autumn days when you need a warming pop of colour.
