Two Versatile Ways to Style Your Satin Midi Skirt

Owning a nice satin midi skirt or slip dress is key to building a feminine wardrobe. I adore the look. It’s classy and chic, inspired by the delicacy of lingerie, but a lot more demure. Much more than just a lustrous addition to your wardrobe, satin is a very versatile fabric, leaving you with many ways to style a midi skirt.

Below I share two ways I styled my skirt, using a piece I purchased earlier this year. This high waisted midi skirt is currently on sale for less than $20, and still available in most sizes, prints, and colors!

STYLE 1: THE CASUAL LOOK

SHOP THE LOOK: High Waisted Satin Midi Skirt, Sneakers, Denim Jacket, Black Tee (similar, same brand)

I’ll be honest, one thing that holds me back from wearing skirts is not having the right shoes to pair them with! In an ideal world, I’d love to wear them with a pair of pointy heels. But for a relaxing weekend stroll, that doesn’t feel practical. I took a fashion risk here by wearing my midi skirt with sneakers, and I actually kind of like it!

STYLE 2: THE DRESSY LOOK

SHOP THE LOOK: High Waisted Satin Midi Skirt (same as above), Heels, Black Square Neck Tank (similar)

Self-photographed because I did not get a chance to wear this midi skirt out with heels, but I’m impressed by how the shot came out 🙂 If you had a more formal function, I can see this look work well with heels or a fitted black/white top.

How to Take Care of Your Satin Midi Skirt

I shared two ways to style your midi skirt. However, given that it is such a delicate fabric, I recommend you hand-wash it rather than throw it into a laundry machine. (Especially so if you purchased a more expensive one with weightier fabric!)

Satin comes in different varieties of weight and finishes. Some are also textured, making the material prone to snagging. To prevent damage to a beautiful piece, wash gently by hand and dry it at home. Linking my earlier blog post on the types of fabric you should air-dry.
