While seasonal and trendy ‘fits are fun, there’s nothing quite like an item of clothing that works year-round. However, there are only a few wardrobe staples that actually work seamlessly in all four seasons. They include (but are, of course, not limited to) jeans, the LBD and—surprise, surprise—the midi skirt. Yes, both mini and maxi skirts can be worn throughout most of the year, too, but plus-size midi skirts have a special place in the all-season category. Their versatility earns them a spot in the fashion hierarchy, making midi skirts the ultimate go-to no matter the temperature outside.
First and foremost, midi skirts work with any type of shoe. Whether it be barely-there sandals, chunky sneakers, booties, knee-high boots or sexy pumps, you can wear them all with a midi skirt—full stop. When the weather is sweltering, you can wear a midi skirt with your favorite crop top and slide sandals. In the fall, switch to booties and cute cropped sweater. As the temperatures drop even further, add some tall boots and chic puffer coat. Then, when spring rolls around, show off your pedicure with some strappy sandals and a floral blouse. Regardless of the season, a midi skirt is the perfect wardrobe staple.
Think of plus-size midi skirts as the base to any outfit. You can start with a classic black satin midi (The ’90s slip dress is having a comeback, ICYMI!), a wild and fun animal print midi or even chic leather midi. Then, add your favorite tops—be they graphic tees, puff sleeve blouses or bodysuits—and watch as effortlessly cool ensembles magically form before your eyes. There are so many iterations of the trend and endless ways to wear them all, so stocking up on a few is a no-brainer.
Luckily, there are myriad cute plus-size midi skirts available right now—and we’ve rounded all the cutest options up for you to shop. Below, you’ll find 46 (!!) different midi skirts from which to choose. Just don’t be surprised if you end up wanting to add every single one to your cart.
