HOW TO WEAR MIDI SKIRTS

- BY FUNKE BABS-KUFEJI

Sometimes you have to give appreciati­on to certain fashion pieces and we are not talking about the iconic Chanel 2.55 handbag or an original Hermès Birkin that will stay carefully in its dust bag for the rest of time. We are talking about the items that work hard for you everyday, whatever the occasion like the classic white shirt or feel safe white trainers. This time, our focus is fully on the midi skirt.

MATCHING SET

Looking your best has never been easier than with a matching set. It is an effortless way to up the ante for any event and is easy to replicate. Whether it’s a set in the same fabric and print or coordinate­s with a similar pattern, you can dress this up or down to suit the occasion.

WITH OVERSIZED SHIRT

Tuck it in, loosen up or tie it around it your waist – an oversized shirt is an easy way to complete a midi skirt outfit. This casual and effortless ensemble is the best option for a day at the office or after-work drinks with friends. Keep the sleeves hanging below your hands for the ultimate laidback feel, and cinch in your midsection by gathering the fabric at the waist or use a belt.

SHEER MIDI SKIRT WITH A SHIRT OR JACKET

Push the envelope and deliver one of the hottest outfits of all time a sheer midi skirt and a shirt or Jacket. This classic ensemble is an excellent option for a day to night look depending on how it’s styled and it looks great on everyone. Opt for a mesh or lace bottom half, and balance it out with a bold and crisp buttondown on top.

WITH SWEATSHIRT JUMPER

This is definitely for cooler weather but a midi skirt worn with sweatshirt is so chic. These jumpers are lightweigh­t and easy to style but will keep you warm when the temperatur­e drops. Tuck the top half into the skirt for a cinched waist or keep it casual by letting it hang loose. It is a versatile option that you can dress up or down easily – complete the look with sneakers or stilettos depending on the occasion.
