Satin Midi Skirts
Satin is perhaps the first fabric you think of when you picture midi skirts. It's a classic combination that has become a fan favorite for many. The silky skirt is perfect for dinners, parties, and even the office. From colorful and pleated options to neutral and refined ones, satin midi skirts are your go-to for when shorts are too casual and a dress is too formal.

Denim Midi Skirts
Denim midi skirts are an offset of the wildly popular and nostalgic denim maxi skirt comeback. Again, a midi-length option is perfect for the day (and situationally the night) and is a bit more wearable than a maxi style. Each of these denim midi skirts also feature front slits for walking ease and some much-appreciated breeze.
