Which midi skirts are best for fall?

Now that we’re officially in fall, it’s time to start dressing for the change in weather. Depending on where you are in the country, it may still be hot outside or it could be feeling closer to winter than fall. No matter your situation, a midi skirt is an excellent and stylish addition to your wardrobe. Additionally, “midi” only refers to the length of the skirt. As such, you can grab a midi skirt in almost any design and style.

What to know before you buy a midi skirt for fall

Midi vs. maxi

When shopping for midi skirts you’ll likely run across the term “maxi.” The difference is the length of the skirt.

  • Midi skirts are technically any skirt that goes no higher than 2 inches below the knee and ends no lower than above the ankles.
  • Maxi skirts are technically any skirt that ends around the ankles or touches the floor.

Some skirts end around the border between midi and maxi. The manufacturer or designer may make a call and list it as one or the other or it could be listed as both to reach a wider search audience. Regardless, you can make your own decision based on the look you’re trying to achieve.

Pockets

Anyone who’s worn clothing designed for women knows the pain of not having any pockets. As it happens there are many midi skirts with pockets, whether they be obvious or cleverly hidden in the folds of the skirt.

Care

Most midi skirts can be safely machine-washed and -dried, but the cycle details differ. For example, some may need to be washed on a cold and delicate cycle while others are sturdy enough to be washed on essentially any cycle and temperature combination. Always triple-check the care instructions to avoid ruining your new skirt.

Cost

Non-brand-name skirts typically cost $15-$40 depending on the materials used and the manufacturer. Brand-name skirts typically cost at least $100 and can cost $500-plus.
