Kate Middleton and midi-skirts go together like tea and crumpets, like a king and queen, like…you get the idea. Especially in the warmer half of the year, the princess often turns to the versatile style because it instantly elevates any look—and if we know anything about the royals, it’s that they love a fancy occasion.
Most recently, Princess Kate wore a head-to-toe white look from the brand Self-Portrait, which included a midi-length pleated skirt with a lace-trim hem that is sheer from the knee to the mid-calf. The trendy midi length is the new intermediate for dresses and skirts that are giving minis and maxis a run for their money.
Whether A-line or straight, pleated or ruffled, mid-length skirts can be adapted to any style—though right now, a lace-trim is a super popular way to add a bit of texture and boho romance.
Another advantage of midi skirts: they pair well with pretty much any shoe. Kate Middleton’s nude suede heels, for example, are perfect for dressier occasions. For garden parties, vacation, and or just hanging out, sandals or sneakers are a more casual option. Tall boots and mid-length skirts have also been a popular pairing among the fashion crowd.
As for colors, by choosing tops, bottoms and accessories in the same shades, the silhouette is elongated and even simple outfits become eye-catching. To recreate Princess Kate’s look, simply choose a top or blouse in the same color scheme as the midi skirt—et voilà. A look worthy of a royal.
