Midi skirts are a timeless trend, and one that is an absolute favourite of mine during the spring and summer. Comfortable, stylish, and flattering on the figure, the right midi skirt will be a staple in any wardrobe, and it can be worn in so many ways.
For a midi skirt that enhances your curves, a slinky midi skirt is a great option, while a pleated midi skirt is perfect for comfortable workwear outfits. Both midi and maxi skirts have their place in any capsule wardrobe for their easy-to-wear fit that can be teamed with trainers and sandals, and I love that a midi skirt transitions easily into knitwear and knee-high boot combos as the weather cools down.
Not only is a midi skirt a versatile piece to see you through the seasons, but the right one can be worn for just about any occasion – and I’ve handpicked the pieces that are absolutely worth shopping.
How I chose the best midi skirts
- Design: I’ve searched for a range of styles for every occasion, from floaty daywear skirts to floral pieces, slinky satin designs, and more.
- Price: I’ve picked out skirts with a range of price points from £18-£100, so there’s something to suit every budget.
- Availability: Fashion moves fast, but all of the midi skirts selected in this edit are in stock, in almost every size.

John Lewis Denim Midi Skirt
Sizes: 6-18
Shipping: £4.50 and free with a £50 spend

Denim midi skirts were a top fashion trend last spring, and the structured style is not going anywhere for 2024. Ro&Zo’s cream midi skirt is cut to a classic A-line silhouette, sitting on the waist with a front slit. The cream colourway gives an elegant twist on the classic style, and I’d recommend completing the look with a cropped cardigan and ballet flats, or dress up the look with a black bodysuit and matching heels.

Satin skirts will never go out of style, and Mango’s black midi version is one to wear on repeat.
