Fashion / How To Style A Midi Skirt by idakusniawati(f): 9:17am On Sep 25, 2019 |
A midi skirt is one of the most versatile items of women’s clothing if you know how to wear it properly and what to pair with. You can wear it to virtually any occasion, be it work, night-out, street wear or club wear. However, it is not the easiest skirt to style. Plus size women should wear a midi skirt that fits at the hip and flares at the bottom. The hemline should be a few inches above the ankle. Slim ladies should wear their hemline at the widest part of the lower leg to create width. With so many styles of tea length skirts, they can be fashioned for any sort of body. Although traditionally worn by elderly women, midi skirts can be shaped and twisted with the latest fabrics to make them some of the most adored outfits for any occasion. Styles include circular, A-line, full, pleated, semi-circular, flowing and tulip shaped. [img][/img] Mid length skirts are sewn from a diversity of materials. Always avoid old fashioned materials like polyester. Although they make clothes cheaper, they are normally hard to style. Modern fabrics like chiffon, satin and silk are feminine and stylish even for formal events. Thicker materials like leather and denim come in handy during winter. During the warmer months like summer, light materials like chiffon are perfect. If you feel like midis make you old, try leather. As with other types of skirts, a form-fitting midi skirt goes well with a loose top, while a flowing skirt does best with a fitting top. To wear a dressy top and a flowy skirt, wear equally flowing sleeves (short or long) and accessorize with a wide belt. If you have a big tummy, you may opt to tuck in the top. For a better outcome, choose a skirt with pleats which are stitched up to your hip and left to flow from there. If you want to pull out a more feminine and sexy look, show more leg and choose a skirt to just below knee. Prints or some lace detail will add more flavor. You can wear high or low waist, depending on the length of the skirt. What Top to Wear With a Midi Skirt The best top that you can wear with a midi skirt depends on the shape and length of your skirt. Unlike a mini skirt, mid-length skirts are moderately long and therefore not too demanding on the styles of tops to pair with. However, a top with a belted waist gives more proportion. A fitting top goes well with dressy skirts while form-fitting pencil and tube skirts are great with looser tops. Unless you want a conservative and more dressed up look, midi skirts give you the freedom to wear a more skin-baring top. These include sheer, sleeveless, dropped shoulders, spaghetti straps and crop tops. If you want to draw attention to the skirt, do not overdo on your tops. But depending on the look you want to display, you may wear see-through shirts and blouses. If you like, you can put on an opaque top underneath the sheer one in contrasting colors. The types of tops to style your midi skirt for casual wear and street fashion are logo T-shirts, colorful sweatshirts or any nude-toned tops. If you like wearing a jacket, go for a denim or crop jacket. Most crop tops will go better with a high waist skirt. If you like more relaxed outcome, wear an oversized cardigan over your shirt and use a pencil skirt. Pairing a midi skirt and a cardigan is ideal for a business outfit. A collard shirt underneath a sweater will also give an elegant result. Wearing long tops with your midi skirt or dress is best if the colors match. Better still, you can buy it as a skirt suit. Although such kind of pairing may be perfect for slim ladies, curvy and plus size women should wear tops that reach to above hip with a skirt longer than mid-calf. To have the greatest look on your outfit, match the colors of your top and shoes. What Shoes to Wear With a Midi Skirt Midi skirts and heeled footwear is like bread and butter. Any length heels will do, although they are not very good for cold weather. However, heeled boots to go with midi skirts in the winter are available. These can be paired with tights or leggings to increase warmth and reduce the risk of frostbite. Knee-high stiletto boots are amazing in the winter no matter whether you are wearing a mini, midi or maxi skirt or dress. In summer, heels or sandals will pair well with your skirt. Match your shoes and the color of your top. An exact match is not necessarily required. However, it is easier to style your shoes by your top. For example, if you do wear a blue top or dress to a wedding, a blue pair of shoes will be okay with the outfit. If you plan to go to an outdoor event and decide to wear a white T-shirt, putting on white shoes will be great. For petite or plus size women, the ideal shoes are nude shoes or footwear that reveals the top of the foot. Dark shoes and ankle straps are better left to slim ladies. Thin ladies will also be fabulous in flats as their height will not be exaggerated. Fat ladies should wear footwear that is at least off the ground. Shorter ladies should try darker color shoes.
