Cubicle Chic: 3 Ways to Style a Midi Skirt for all Body Types

How to Style a Midi Skirt for All Body Types

I can’t believe this is already our fifth week into the Cubicle Chic series – oh, how time flies! While we’re in the midst of taking our office attire from drab to fab, it seems only fitting to mention a piece that has been around for decades. The midi skirt is the definition of sophistication. If styled right, it’s a classy way to show off your figure and change up your look.

And if you’re confused on how to wear the length {midi skirts can fall just below the knee or a few inches above the ankle!} for your particular body type, check out the looks below.

For hourglass shapes opt for a jersey pencil midi. It will hug you in all the right places, accentuating your small waistline and flaunting your killer curves. Pair it with a cropped sweater (long enough to cover your midsection, but short enough to see your waist) and a ankle strap pump.

Those who are pear shaped with a little more on the bottom half, a loose flowing midi is great in a solid. Pair it with a skin toned shoe to elongate your legs and play it up with fun accessories, like a statement necklace and leopard clutch.

A midi skirt is also great for those who are looking for a more womanly figure. If you find yourself with a boyish shape, a midi with volume and structure will give you the ladylike curves you seek. Balance the look out by layering with a blazer or leather jacket on top.

Have you mastered the midi skirt? How do you wear the midi to work and for your specific shape?

    Love these ideas! Midi skirts are pretty tricky. It’s not easy to make young and chic looks with them. I may just have found some inspiration from this post, thanks!
