If you were to come to me looking for a simple wardrobe addition that would instantly unlock easy outfit ideas, I'd point you straight towards a midaxi skirt.

A little longer than a calf-grazing midi but not quite as sweeping as a full-length maxi skirt, this in-between item strikes the perfect balance between the two, revealing just enough skin to keep the outfit feeling light and un-stuffy whilst offering enough structure to polish up your look in an instant.

Having come around to the outfit-enhancing effects of this sophisticated skirt, I spotted Gwyneth Paltrow in a beige version of the trending cut this week. Skimming her legs and cutting just above the ankle, her midaxi gave her outfit an elegant payoff, which she then softened with a relaxed, partially unbuttoned shirt, making her longline skirt feel warm-weather ready.

Whilst it’s tempting to reach for gauzy fabrics and breezy poplin styles in the height of summer, I find this sleek alternative offers enough breathability to see me through the warmer months but still retains the polished energy I like to have running through my mid-week looks.

In a neutral shade (don't worry; if you prefer something sharp like black or navy, I've sourced those for you too), this skirt trend is particularly easy to weave into your summer rotation. Style it with a lightweight shirt à la Paltrow, or pair with a boxy T-shirt for a laid-back take. Otherwise, dress it up with a sleeveless top or silky blouse for an evening-ready take.
