Midi skirts are a must-have piece for summer! They are cool, flowy, and comfortable. These skirts are super versatile, making them the perfect staple purchase for this summer. Personally, I love midi skirts because they are super comfy yet effortlessly stylish. Midi skirts can be styled for any occasion -- from a laid-back day at the house, to a night out with friends. Here are five different ways that I like to wear my favorite midi skirts during the summer:

The Dinner Date

Midi skirts can go from chill to classy with the addition of just a few accessories, making them one of the best garments for wardrobe versatility. I paired the white and black printed midi skirt with a corset top, using a black waist belt to tie the outfit together. This combo is an easy way to create a formal look, perfect for a night out! A bodysuit is another inspiring way to dress up your favorite skirt!

The Halter Top

Halter tops are all the craze this summer and if you don't have one, your midi skirt will get the job done! The trick is to put on a slitted midi skirt upside down over your head. Then, you will cross the two slits in the front of your chest and then knot them behind your neck. Ever since I learned this little trick I have had a more open mind about my garments and how they can be worn. The possibilities are truly unlimited, and this halter top style is the perfect pairing with my black skort on a hot summer day.

Beach Chic

Midi Skirts and beach trips go together perfectly! 

I will wear them for a walk across the shore, or as a cute swim cover up! Pairing your favorite midi skirt with a light blouse and strappy sandals is a great way to stay relaxed while still looking put together. Here I have paired my black and white slit midi with a light green blouse. This look is simple yet effortlessly chic for a day by the water

The Impromptu Sundress

When it comes to midi skirts, the possibilities for styling are endless. These skirts don't always stop at the waist, so if you want to wear your favorite skirt as a sundress this summer, simply unzip it and pull it all the way up. Personally, I like to cinch the waist with a belt, but most midi skirts also look really nice loose and flowy.

Keeping it Casual

My favorite way to wear my midi skirts is with a T-shirt and sneakers -- hands down! I am guilty of always turning to leggings for comfort, but a midi skirt is just as easy and cozy. Here, I paired my midi skirt with one of my favorite oversized T-shirts. This is a great way to stay looking fresh and cute this summer while avoiding wearing pants in the upcoming warmer months! Wearing a skirt does not deem an ensemble formal -- it is all about what you pair it with and how you accessorize!

I hope you find these styling tips helpful and bring some new uses to your favorite midi skirts! Apparel is so versatile, so make sure to keep making the most out of the garments you have in your wardrobe!
