A satin midi skirt is one of the most versatile pieces you can own. The fabric looks dressy, but the simple cut works with almost anything. Here are four outfits built around our high-waist satin midi skirt, which comes in beige, black, green and khaki.
Why It Works
The high waist marks your shape, and the soft drape moves well when you walk. Because the skirt does the talking, the rest of the outfit can stay simple. The one rule: balance the volume. A flowing skirt looks best with a top that is fitted or cropped.
1. Office: With a Knit Vest
Wear the buttoned cropped vest as a top. The cropped length meets the high waist of the skirt, and the knit texture gives the satin a softer, more everyday feel. Try the khaki skirt with a brown or white vest and add loafers or simple flats.
2. Dinner: With a Bodysuit
A fitted bodysuit tucks in without any bulk at the waist, so the line from top to skirt stays clean. Black on black looks sharp and elegant; a white bodysuit with the green skirt feels fresher. Heels and small earrings are enough.
3. Weekend: With an Oversized Jacket
Mixing textures is what makes this one work. Throw the oversized suede-feel bomber over a simple fitted top and add sneakers. The relaxed jacket takes the formality out of the satin, and the beige or black skirt goes with every jacket color.
4. Summer Evening: With a Satin Cami
For warm nights, pair the skirt with the satin halter cami. Go tone on tone, like a brown cami with the khaki skirt, or pick a contrast, like a white cami with the black skirt. Satin with satin looks polished without trying too hard.
Getting the Size Right
Satin has no stretch, so the waist measurement decides the size. If you are between sizes, size up. Our size guide shows how to measure, and the care guide explains how to keep satin smooth and shiny. Ready to build your outfit? See all our skirts and bottoms and tops.
