Midi skirts are often reserved for the office or formal events. We can understand why, since they’re not too long nor too short. Midi skirts also make you look feminine and “proper”, which is why we think many women opt for them to wear at the office, black tie events, and anywhere else that calls for a formal outfit. Though we do agree that midi skirts are fitting for those occasions, who says they can’t be fun? Want to know how? Here are five easy ways to style five midi skirts that you can rock in and out of the office.

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.
