The midi skirt hits the sweet spot: polished like a maxi, practical like a mini.

Ending mid-calf, the midi flatters nearly every body and suits nearly every occasion — work, weekend, wedding guest.

The key is the shoe: the midi shows the ankle, so footwear defines the whole look.

Here are 15 seasonal ways to wear it. Let’s get into it.
