Midi Skirts Are The Versatile Summer Staple Thatll Upgrade Your Wardrobe

Fitting neatly between the bold, flirty mini skirt and the dramatic, romantic maxi skirt is the comfortable, ultra-flattering midi skirt. Not too short, not too long — it's just right. The mid-calf length skirt style is versatile, a great day-to-night option, and has become a wardrobe staple, especially for the summer. The semi-casual semi-formal bottoms can easily be dressed down with a crop top and white sneakers or dressed up with a blouse and strappy heels.

And some trending styles that should be on your radar include satin, cotton, and denim midi skirts, side slit and wrap midi skirts, and printed and floral midi skirts. So if you’re looking for a versatile piece that'll upgrade your style, consider ordering a couple of midi skirts that you can alternate throughout the summer for different vibes and occasions.

Satin Midi Skirts

Satin is perhaps the first fabric you think of when you picture midi skirts. It's a classic combination that has become a fan favorite for many. The silky skirt is perfect for dinners, parties, and even the office. From colorful and pleated options to neutral and refined ones, satin midi skirts are your go-to for when shorts are too casual and a dress is too formal.

Denim Midi Skirts

Denim midi skirts are an offset of the wildly popular and nostalgic denim maxi skirt comeback. Again, a midi-length option is perfect for the day (and situationally the night) and is a bit more wearable than a maxi style. Each of these denim midi skirts also feature front slits for walking ease and some much-appreciated breeze.

Show Some Skin In These 28 Low-Back One-Piece Swimsuits

The swim scene has come a very long way. Where itty-bitty string bikinis were once de rigueur for looking sexy at the beach and by the pool, we're now opting for on-trend bathing suits that don't show off too much skin and rather show off just enough. To prove it, we're calling out the Goldilocks of swimsuits: one-pieces of the low-back variety. High up front (to avoid any wave-induced slippage) and low in the back, these pieces officially end the days of compromising coverage for sex appeal.

The world of low-back one-piece swimsuits is nearly limitless, with everyone from Target and Anthropologie to Farm Rio and plus-size retailer Cupshe throwing their hats (or maillots) in the ring. While you may not get the line-less tan you're used to, it'll all be worth it when you don't have to spend any time adjusting and re-tying your string bikini after every dip in the water.

To help you find a swimsuit that's just right, we've laid out all the best straight-size and plus-size one-pieces. Trust us, you'll be ready to take on the warmer months with these not-too-revealing, not-too-conservative, low-back one-piece swimsuits.
