Outfit Details: High Sport Dress, Vanessa Bruno Bag, Reformation Sandals

I’ve always had a hard time stopping at just one piece of fringe. If it shows up on a skirt, I start longing for it again on a bag or a jacket, because that repetition is what brings the whole outfit to life. It feels like a Western nod without ever becoming too on the nose, and it sits right at home in fall.

The easiest way into a fringe-on-fringe moment is to let one piece lead and let a smaller detail follow. If the hem of my dress is the standout, a punchy shade of red keeps things feeling modern, and then I’ll bring in a second hit through a bag with trim. If the jacket carries the detail, I’ll let everything layered underneath stay sleek so the trim has its moment to fall. A smaller accent can do the same work, like a belt or a skirt hem picking up the fringe up top. Once the two pieces are talking to each other, the fringe stops reading as a detail and starts reading as the whole point.

Are you a yea or nay for the high vamp trend? I’ll admit, the trend was originally a hard pass for me… but as I’ve looked at more of them the look is growing on me.

These Tuckernuck flats are some of the best-looking of the bunch, IMHO — they definitely have a much higher vamp than we’ve seen in years past, but I like that it isn’t too high. (We’ve discussed whether toe cleavage is appropriate for work in the (distant) past; what are your thoughts on, ahem, phalanx cleavage?)

The shoes come in five colors, sizes 6-11, for $195.

This year I’m noticing a ton of midi skirts for work. Some are sleek and fitted, some are slip-like or pleated — but a lot of the newer options are more fluid and flowy. How are you wearing them to work (or are they weekend-only for you)? What shoes are you wearing them with for summer, and how do you plan to transition them for fall?

Five Ways to Style Midi Skirts for Work

Wear a Midi Skirt with a Matching Top

This one is definitely the easiest — it just looks like a dress. Pictured above: the M.M.LaFleur Ara skirt, available in eight prints (and solid black) in sizes XS-XXL. Some of the tops that match the skirts include the turtleneck pictured, this cinch top, and this ruched top.

You can also see the matchy-matchy look at Me & Em, Ann Taylor, ATM Anthony Thomas Melillo, and rag & bone.

Wear a Work Midi Skirt with a Cardigan

Another look that is popular right now is wearing a midi skirt with a cardigan, where the cardigan is buttoned closed and worn by itself. (I’ve also seen it styled with the cardigan turned around or reversed so the buttons are on your back!)

Pictured above, a midi slip skirt at Banana Republic Factory — but you can also see the look at Ann Taylor, Nordstrom, and Max Mara.

Wear a Midi Skirt with a Blazer

This is one of the hardest looks to get right, in my opinion, because the proportions of the blazer and skirt have to work together.

A week or so ago we rounded up the trendy blazer shape in this picture — the collarless, crewnecked, cutaway blazer — and it’s one of the easiest blazer shapes to wear with midi skirts, whether it’s a blazer, a vest, or a sweater. (I also like that it’s styled with boots; it’s a great fall look.)

Pictured above: Ted Baker, at Nordstrom. You can also see the look at Ann Taylor (belted leather blazer), Nordstrom (the Nordstrom associate in the video), and Banana Republic Factory.

Pair a Midi Skirt with a Sleek Tank

Pair it with a very simple, sleek tank in white or black — but know your office, this isn’t appropriate for every office! See it at Ann Taylor (pictured), M.M.LaFleur, and J.Crew.

Pair a Midi Skirt with a Blouse

A tucked-in blouse is another classic option. This can be tricky because the skirt has to have enough structure to get a clean tuck, but you could also get the look with a bodysuit.

We’ve pictured the Staud skirt (at Tuckernuck) — but you can also see it at Ann Taylor, Quince, J.Crew, Vince, and M.M.LaFleur

Readers, how are you wearing midi skirts to work right now? What tops and shoes are you pairing with them — and are you changing the formula as we head into fall?
