Midi skirts are a timeless trend, and one that is an absolute favourite of mine during the summer and autumn. Comfortable, figure-flattering and stylish, the right midi skirt will be a staple in any wardrobe – you just need to find the right one for you.
For a midi skirt that enhances your curves, a fitted style is perfect, while a floaty midi skirt is perfect for comfortable daytime wear. Satin midi skirts are also a top trend right now, and they're great for transitioning into the autumn weather.

How to wear a midi skirt
Not only is a midi skirt the perfect transitional piece to see you through the seasons, but the versatile style can also be worn with just about anything. Trainers, chunky boots, sandals – you name it. I love wearing my satin midi skirt with a cropped T-shirt and trainers, and switching it up with a high-neck jumper as the weather gets cooler.
How I chose the best midi skirts
- Design: I've searched for a range of styles of midi skirts for every occasion, from floaty daywear styles to floral pieces, sinky satin designs and more.
- Price: I've selected a range of price points for every budget, ranging from £15-£160.
- Inclusivity: I've chosen midi skirts that offer a range of sizes, from 4-24.
- Availability: Fashion moves fast, but all of the midi skirts selected in this edit are in stock, in almost every size.

Nobody's Child Red Midi Skirt
Editor's Note
This floaty red skirt reminds me of Princess Kate's stunning Christopher Kane pleated skirt that she wore back in 2021 – and I love it. It would look amazing teamed with the matching Nobody's Child top and a pair of espadrille wedges, or opt for a white T-shirt for a more laid-back style.
Nobody's Child's linen floaty midi skirt features a floaty silhouette and tiered hem, in a bright red shade that's guaranteed to make a statement. The feminine design is perfect for the summer, and it's available in sizes 4-18.
Mango Knitted Midi Skirt
Editor's Note
Crochet has been one of the top trends for summer, and Mango's white skirt is just perfect for holiday dressing. I'd wear it with Birkenstock sandals and a bright racer top during the day, and a pair of white heels, a white crop top and a raffia bag during the evening.
Mango's fitted white midi skirt features a crochet design that's slightly sheer, with an elasticated waist for added comfort. It's available in sizes XS-XXL, and the matching bralette top is still available, too.
H&M A-Line Midi Skirt
Editor's Note
H&M's A-line midi skirt is giving pure elegance. A strapless top and a pair of pointed-toe heels would elevate this look, but I could also see it teamed with a cropped jumper for a more casual ensemble.
For a more formal style, try H&M's buttoned midi skirt. The A-line silhouette is super flattering, and the neutral cream shade will match with the rest of your wardrobe perfectly.
Marks & Spencer Printed Midi Skirt
Editor's Note
M&S is filled with stylish transition pieces for the new season, and this printed midi skirt is going to the top of my wishlist. I'd wear it with a pair of black heeled boots for a smart workwear style.
Featuring a shirred waist and A-line cut, M&S's midi dress is so flattering. The staple skirt would look great with boots, trainers or ballet flats, and the easy-to-wear style is available in regular, long and petite sizes.
New Look Wave Print Midi Skirt
Editor's Note
I have so many plain tops that a printed skirt is a must for my wardrobe. The slinky satin style is flattering on the figure, and is ideal for day-to-night dressing.
New Look's satin skirt features a high waist, a bias cut and a black and white wave print – and it looks so stylish styled with a leather jacket. The midi skirt comes in sizes 6-22, and it's also available in khaki.
& Other Stories Strap Midi Skirt
Editor's Note
Pink has without a doubt been the colour of 2023, and & Other Stories' hot pink midi skirt is checking all the boxes. The knee-high slit elongates the leg, and we love the cross-over strap for highlighting the waist.
Made from 100% linen, & Other Stories' midi skirt looks as comfortable as it does stylish. It features a high elasticated waist, with strap detailing that wraps around the front and ties at the back.
Reformation Floral Midi Skirt
Editor's Note
Reformation has so many stylish summer pieces, and this red floral number may be worth the investment if you're searching for a midi skirt you can reach for every year. I love it paired with a white ribbed vest top, or opt for a plain cropped T-shirt and a denim jacket to finish the look.
This timeless midi skirt features a relaxed silhouette with a thigh-high slit, a relaxed fit and a lovely red floral print. It comes in sizes 4-16, along with 10 more colours and prints.
Boden Broderie Midi Skirt
Editor's Note
Boden's midi skirt cinches the waist perfectly with fit-and-flare design, and the broderie finish gives it such an effortless feel. It would look stunning teamed with a pair of espadrilles and a contrasting top.
Designed with a tiered fit-and-flare shape, Boden's black midi skirt is so flattering. The broderie design gives a super feminine feel, and the floaty elasticated waist looks so comfortable. It's available in sizes 6-22, and there's a pink version, too.
