When you think midi skirt, something like Olivia Culpo's matching army green set is probably what comes to mind.
It's a style made crazy-famous by one Kim Kardashian and it's absolutely here to stay. That being said, the midi skirt has since evolved to take many other forms. Some are equally as form-fitting, some breezy in a flowy fabric, some even dipped in glitter. With so many options comes a need for outfit inspiration—how else would you pick your favorite or, more simply, know how to wear it or what to pair it with?
Enter the below celebs in their calf-length skirts. Soak it all in.
Like Olivia Culpo's, Kristen Stewart's white midi is of the tight variety, but what K-Stew did differently is she gave the look a laid-back finish with a raw edge, cropped white tee. This is a perfect example of influencing an otherwise predictable outfit with your own personal style. Take notes, people.
Although the high-low skirt trend is well and dead, asymmetrical ones (like Jada Pinkett Smith's) are thriving—and for good reason. Due to their angular nature, it's important you keep everything on top pretty symmetrical. Your skirt should be the only focal point.
If Jenna Dewan-Tatum, in this pleated midi skirt and off-the-shoulder top, isn't your idea of summer, we don't know what is. Although playful and youthful, the skirt gives off a fresh and sophisticated appearance. If you're attending a wedding this summer, it's pretty much the perfect piece to base your outfit around (just do not buy one in white). With it, wear a tight midi top or tuck in an off-the-shoulder top and you're set!
Jessica Chastain brought all the glitz and glamour when she stepped out in this sparkling, scallop-hemmed $4,600 Derek Lam midi skirt. The actress paired it with an equally as glam top, so you can heed her style advice or you can tone it down (for less formal occasions) with a tucked in white tee or tank.
