The midi makes it

Taylor Swift and other stars bring the look to the A-list

-

CROP TOP

“Be the coolest girl in the room with a printed high-waisted version and a crop top. Keep everything laid back with a denim jacket.”

TUCK IN A TURTLENECK

“We love a slim turtleneck tucked into a midi. It’s so clean and simple, especially when you top it off with a long duster coat and heeled ankle boots.”

CUTOUTS

Lots of bare skin and slits up to here reduces the frump factor considerab­ly.

THINK OFFICE-APPROPRIAT­E

“With a tucked in button-down and flats, the midi makes for a great office option.”

LEAN AND LONG

“I love the lean, streamline­d look of an extralong sweater over a sleek midi skirt. The overall effect is so cool and minimal, especially when paired with white sneakers.”

BOOTS

Tall heels with ankle straps are a natural accessory but tall boots can pull a long, slim look together.

PLAY WITH PATTERNS

Longer skirts allow more room to show off painterly patterns and intricate details.

PLAY WITH PROPORTION­S

“Pair a boxy top with a slim midi and ankle strap heel. The streamline­d skirt will balance the voluminous top.”
