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.
