Skirting the issue

Late summer calls for clothing which can withstand changeable skies and seemingly sudden dips and spikes in temperature. Enter the midi skirt, a fun, flattering and feminine way to weather the unpredictable weather – in style.

Midi skirts catching our eye have evolved from the formidable slip skirts of recent times, into more floaty, voluminous and whimsical styles.

Ruffles, pleats and tiers are welcome, as are bright, interesting patterns which can be paired with a simple tee or tank.

Or, reverse those roles with a crisp monochrome skirt and statement tee or slinky top, and pack a shirt, jumper, blazer or denim jacket for an extra layer should those clouds (or winds) roll in.

Footwear-wise, these comfy-yet-polished pieces look perfectly at home with sandals, sneakers, boots and heels.

The best part?

These trans-seasonal gems will carry you through autumn and winter with ease, looking especially chic in winter with a turtleneck, wrap jacket, and heels.
