How to style a black midi skirt: 2 ways

I’m obsessed with classic work outfits that I can transition into all seasons! The pleated midi skirt is a versatile workwear staple- an outfit choice that has really started to grow on me! A black pleated midi skirt is a classic and essential piece for a professional office wardrobe, offering both style and versatility. Black is always a perfect choice for the office, regardless of the season, bringing professionalism and sophistication. Here are two ways to style your midi skirt this year!

Business Professional Outfit: Black Midi Skirt with Sweater

For transitional spring weather, combine your black pleated midi skirt with a lightweight sweater. A cream, grey, or pastel mock neck sweater offers a sophisticated contrast. The monochromatic look, with the black skirt as the base, creates a polished and professional aesthetic. Tucking in the sweater defines the waistline, and adding a belt enhances the look. Pair with neutral pointed-toe heels or black boots! I opted for a black bodysuit here to create a timeless look! This outfit provides both style and comfort for cooler spring days. The black skirt maintains its professionalism while the lighter sweater/bodysuit adds a seasonal touch. In the dead of winter, pair this with knee high black boots for a warm sophisticated look! I’m obsessed with this bodysuit because it mimics SKIMS material, super comfortable and half the cost!!

Black Midi Skirt with Sleeveless Top

If you’re transitioning into summer office outfits, swap the sweater for a delicate lace bodysuit tucked into a black pleated midi skirt. The bodysuit offers a touch of summery texture while maintaining a professional appeal. The monochromatic base of the black skirt and bodysuit creates a polished and classic feel. Just like the sweater version, defining the waist is key – the bodysuit naturally hugs the figure, but a slim black belt can further accentuate the waistline. Complete the ensemble with neutral pointed-toe heels or elegant heeled sandals in nude or black for a sophisticated and cool summer office outfit. This combination offers a timeless professional look perfect for warmer weather.

I love to hear people’s stories….. what I love most is how someone’s story can be such a guide for someone else. That’s what I want this little space to be. Where we connect, inspire, tell our stories. Talk about all things from fashion to travel to health or to what gets us up in the morning.

Dolly said it best when she said “Find out who you are and do it on PURPOSE.”
