5 stylish midi skirts you can wear for work and the weekend

This midi skirt from Proenza Schouler has an unconventional pleated design that is sure to catch the attention of anyone you walk past. The contrast between the white and black pleats further accentuates the swing of your movement and since the skirt is monochromatic, you can take this opportunity to incorporate a pop of colour via your top, shoes, or bag! Check out how we would style it for work and for the weekend, and have fun recreating these looks.
