Could there be a more versatile wardrobe item than the midi skirt? With its flattering length, ability to be teamed with sneakers or heels and the way the right piece can work into both your workwear and leisurewear (and event attire, if you select really well), it’s a wardrobe staple that works hard for its money.
Every season we see beautiful midi skirts hit the stores, from casual linen skirts to silky formal skirts. There’s always room for a new midi skirt in your wardrobe, so it’s worth having a look at the styles currently on offer.
HOW DO I STYLE A MIDI SKIRT?
Given there are so many different types of midi skirts, this is a complex question. If your midi skirt is fitted, teaming with a roomy linen shirt or loose-fitting tee can give balance and looks great for a relaxed office. Loose midi skirts look fantastic with fitted tanks and team nicely with silky blouses for fancier events. Our favourite way to style a midi skirt? Pick a loose, swishy material and team with a crisp white tee, some white sneakers and a pair of statement earrings.

BEST CASUAL MIDI SKIRTS
Dazie Boulevard Maxi Skirt, $89.99
The most summery midi skirt we ever did see, this Dazie piece features soft ruching around the hips and waist, meaning maximum comfort and a flattering fall of the skirt.
David Lawrence Amina A-Line Skirt, $169
The perfect midi skirt for everywhere - team with a blouse for work, a white tee for the weekend and heels for a party.
Tokito Tiered Midi Skirt, $69.95
This is another great workwear/casual wear/dress it up skirt! The soft tiers and swishy material make it perfect for dressing up a little, but as you can see with a basic tee it can definitely feel casual enough for everyday wear.
Gorman Resonance High-Waisted Skirt, $229
We love a good Gorman midi skirt. The Australian brand never fails to bring unique, quirky colour and patterns to its products and this skirt is no exception. You can try it with Dad sneakers as above if you dare, but this skirt would look wonderful with some simple sandals and a blouse.
Seed Heritage Shirred Midi Skirt
If you find midi skirts dig into your waist or make your hips look bigger than they are, a ruched waistline could help. This skirt’s waist has the cotton material skimming hips and flaring more at mid-thigh level.
Petal & Pup Gabriella Skirt, $89.95
A lovely floral midi skirt is such a wardrobe must-have if you love feminine dressing. This tiered version has a matching top you can also purchase, but would look equally as wonderful with a pretty peasant top.
Witchery Tiered Frill Skirt, $149.95
We love the tropical print of this Witchery skirt! Perfect for summer bbqs, wear with black to dress it up, or a white tee to tone it down. Also a good throw-over after swimming.
Sportsgirl Marci Spliced Ruffle Midi Skirt, $89.95
This pretty bohemian skirt is so lovely with its ruffles and mixed patterns. We love it with its matching ruched top, but would also love it with a cropped tank.
Petal & Pup Lalika Skirt, $69.95
This is another great, staple floral skirt for your wardrobe. The floaty material will keep you cool, and the colours will add vibrance to an otherwise plain outfit.
Midi slip skirts are great for wearing with chunky sandals, and play into the 2000s fashion trend a little without feeling too trendy. We love this RVCA skirt for that flattering mid-calf length and how it sits slightly lower on hips.
Atmos&Here Jessie Tiered Midi Skirt, $69.99
Gingham has been a huge fashion trend in 2021. This midi skirt is an easy way to give it a try, as you can see you can even take it all the way through summer into winter with a long sleeve tee.
Sportsgirl Lucille Linen Skirt, $89.95
Pale blue is always a wonderful colour to wear in summer. This linen skirt with its subtle pattern and beautiful hue will look fantastic with a white singlet and some tan sandals.
BEST GOING OUT MIDI SKIRTS
Witchery Crushed Pleat Skirt, $129.95
When it comes to going out midi skirts, a pleated option is a great addition to your wardrobe. This tie-waist skirt could easily work for daywear, we just love it as an easy, throw-on skirt for partywear and event dressing.
Dazie Parisian Silky Skirt, $79.99
Dazie has been making some stunning silky skirts this year. We love this watercolour print in vibrant colours - it looks wonderful with any top that picks up on the hues - yellow, lilac, red or orange.
Seed Heritage Core Linen Slip Skirt, $99.95
This is such an easy skirt to wear - the fit is relaxed but slightly tapered, the linen material easily dressed up or down and the length somewhere between midi and maxi.
Petal & Pup Namarah Skirt, $79.95
This midi skirt could easily have sat with casual skirts, but we loved the look of it with its matching cropped blouse. A great day party outfit, you could also team this skirt with a white blouse if you liked.
Ally Fashion Satin Look Midi Skirt, $35.99
This silky skirt is so affordable! The polka dot pattern is super cute - wear with a pretty bohemian blouse and some strappy heels for effortless party wear.
Supre Kaycee Midi Tube Skirt, $45
Keen to go for a more sexy look? This shimmery tube skirt will set the dance floor alight, and while it looks amazing with a strappy bra top, you could also make this work well with a fitted spaghetti strap tank, one-shoulder tank or tube top.
