Recently, I told a friend about a new purchase I’d made in the summer sales. It was of a midi skirt, that featured pleats and a unique paisley print, and to be honest I was pretty excited about how much of a bargain it was. “Of course you bought another midi skirt,” my friend said with an eye-roll. “They’re basically your summer uniform.”

I’d never thought about this before, but I guess she was right. A printed midi and t-shirt is the outfit combination I wear on repeat, summer after summer. I’m not sure whether it is due to their ease, their comfort, or the fact that you can look put together while hardly trying, but midi skirts are a key element in my summer wardrobe. And I’m not alone, the item is also a hallmark in the wardrobes of several editors, influencers and celebrities.

Whether it be a slinky slip skirt or a timeless pleated style, the versatile item can be worn for any occasion from a backyard barbeque to restaurant dinner, and are particularly handy while working from home. With this in mind, I’ve put together a curation of the midi skirts which are currently that the top of my wishlist, spanning high-street labels, contemporary brands and more.
