As we all aim to build our own capsule wardrobe, there are few pieces that actually make the cut that you’ll be reaching for year after year, and can be worn throughout the seasons. The key to building your capsule wardrobe is to stay true to your own personal style rather than buying trend-led pieces, as they can quickly become one of those items that sit in your wardrobe as you don’t feel confident in them, or even know how to style them.
A key contender for the capsule wardrobe is the midi skirt. Its versatility to be worn in different ways allows you to wear it in different seasons - whether it's with strappy sandals and a vest top in summer, or a chunky knit and boots in winter.
This year, the white midi skirt has taken the fashion world by storm and we’ve seen it all over our Insta feeds. Its versatility and timeless appeal secure its place in our wardrobe for summer and beyond.
Amy Beth gives us a masterclass on how to style it. Give it a tailored feel with a fitted blazer, a longline option will hide the waistband and give the illusion of a longer torso. Or dress it down with a boxy tee tucked in, or a simple vest top. Finish your look with ballet flats or some strappy sandals to tie it altogether.
We’ve rounded up the 15 best white midi skirts for you to shop now.
