The 14 Best Midi Skirts For Every Occasion

This slip midi skirt comes highly recommended by Bustle editor Amy Biggart. Biggart explains: “I was shocked by the quality of this slip skirt. It looks like the other ones I own that are way more expensive.” The high-waisted skirt is designed to elegantly fall below the knees and is made of a fluid polyester-elastane blend with an elastic waist for comfort and stretch. Biggart calls it “super easy to style and comfortable to wear” — and as a bonus, “it also isn’t sheer and doesn’t show panty lines.” Shop it in over a dozen colors, ranging from neutrals to bright colors and prints.

This button-front midi skirt is the definition of carefree. Its A-line silhouette floats below the knees, and reviewers have attested that the polyester-spandex fabric is “light” and “airy.” An elastic waist reinforces the skirt’s laidback appeal, while side pockets and button-front detail lend it structure. “This skirt is perfect for humid southern summers,” one reviewer wrote, “but should transition to fall and winter seamlessly as well with tights underneath.” Choose from plenty of solid colors and prints, including options with a paper-bag waist.

One shopper wrote: “I’m pleasantly surprised by this skirt. I really didn’t know what to expect at this price point, from a random brand, but I really like a high-waisted, midi-length skirt as a transitional piece from summer to fall, so I took a chance on this one. Fits as expected and described, seams are stitched evenly and completely, looks great.”

This pull-on midi skirt is comfortable enough for lounging at home but polished enough to wear for a social outing. The shin-skimming skirt — made of a rayon-spandex blend that feels like a jersey material — is soft and comfy with an elastic waist, while the subtle side slits heighten its visual appeal. A reviewer wrote that it is “fantastic during the hot weather” but recommended wearing a slip underneath because “it’s very lightweight and a little sheer.” Other reviewers have noted that it’s not sheer, so it may depend on the color you choose. It comes in both solid colors and fun prints.

This A-line midi skirt has styling potential in spades. The skirt goes just as well with a slouchy tee and sandals as it does with a silk blouse and heels. “Love this skirt!” wrote one reviewer, who added that it’s “comfortable and goes with everything.” The skirt is made of a polyester-spandex blend and has a non-adjustable zipper closure, plus two functional side pockets. One more thing reviewers have mentioned is that the skirt runs large, so you might want to size down. Shop it in a variety of neutral and bright colors as well as in button-front and lace-trimmed options.

If you’re looking for a midi length with a high slit, turn to this wrap skirt, which also makes a strong case for wearing prints. It has a fun paint-like motif, but you can also choose from other patterns, including leopard prints and tiny polka-dots. It cascades into an asymmetrical hem that hovers around the mid-calf and secures at the waist with a wispy side-tie. A button closure inside the skirt provides an extra level of security. Multiple reviews have confirmed that wearing the skirt is as comfortable as it looks — one wrote that the polyester fabric is “cool and flowy.”

One shopper wrote: “The skirt of so cute and flowy. The slit only shows when you’re walking or making an effort to stick your leg out but it’s totally worth the price. I love it.

This pleated midi skirt can be summed up in one word: elegant. It’s constructed in an A-line shape with soft accordion pleats that fall from the elastic waist to a swingy, below-the-knee hem. Reviewers have claimed the chiffon number “looks expensive” — a plus considering the price. According to one shopper, the fabric is “light enough for warmer weather” but “will work for winter wear” with the right tights.

However, multiple reviewers have noted that this skirt runs on the smaller side and recommend sizing up. In addition to solid hues with an elastic waist, it comes in color-blocked varieties and options with a drawstring waist.

This wrap midi skirt combines the stylishness of leather pants with the ease of a skirt. One reviewer raved that the faux-leather skirt has “all of the luxe you’d expect from Italian leather” — but, fortunately, it comes at a non-leather price. It secures with a button at the waist, and the side knot makes for a decorative touch. Hitting right below the knees, the skirt is prime for spotlighting your favorite pair of shoes — and according to one reviewer, “it can be dressed up with knee high boots or dressed down with booties.” Shop it in this pretty camel color or classic black.

A few shoppers have reported that it runs on the larger side — and certain styles run on the longer side — so that’s something to take into consideration as you check out. Spotlight the skirt’s eye-catching pattern with something neutral up top, or take your cue from reviewers who’ve worn it on its own as a tube dress.
