The heat becomes ever more unbearable, but the desire to spend days in the open air between aperitifs, walks and outings never goes away. There is only one big problem: how to dress for such sultry days, both for work appointments and leisure time? With midi skirts, of course, which in summer 2025 will become the cool all-day garment.

Why we like them so much is easily said: they are fresh, comfortable and always elegant. On their own they are able to characterise an entire look with style, even when the temperatures outside are over thirty degrees. And as far as models are concerned, we are spoilt for choice: below-the-knee length, fluid or more structured cut, patterned or plain: there is a midi skirt for every style, occasion and time of day.

The good news? They really do go with everything: with a white t-shirt, a crop top and even with a swimming costume, for those in the holiday mood. Let's take a look together at the trends, the must-have models and how to combine them to create versatile and always up-to-date outfits.

Summer 2025 midi skirt trends

The catwalks had anticipated it, and now it's official: the midi skirt is the absolute star of the hot season. But what are the models to focus on now? Pleated skirts of course: light, fluttering and with technical fabrics that don't wrinkle. They are perfect for the office, but also for a weekend brunch or a walk in the city.

Then there are the linen and cotton models, a real must-have to always have in your wardrobe. In fact, these skirts are breathable and cool, so they are also perfect for daytime, and are characterised by a simple but always glamorous beauty. The advice? Opt for neutral colours such as sand, cream, sage green or the new pastel shades that embody the mood of summer 2025.

Then there are satin or shiny satin skirts: ideal for the evening, but also to be played down with a t-shirt and a pair of white trainers. Even worn for more formal occasions or ceremonies.

Last but not least are the midi skirts with floral or geometric prints. Among our favourites are those with maxi prints, 70s optical patterns and romantic micro-flowers.

If you want to give the look a feminine touch, on the other hand, we recommend opting for models with slits or front buttons. These are super glamorous skirts perfect for aperitifs and evening outings.

How to wear the midi skirt from morning to evening

As we anticipated, the midi skirt is a real must-have for summer 2025, and it is also and especially so because it can be worn from morning to evening, and for any occasion.

For work, for example, we can choose a wrap or pleated model in a neutral colour and pair it with a linen shirt or soft top. To complete the look, with a touch of elegance and femininity, we can add loafers or slingbacks.

For leisure time, on the other hand, we recommend combining midi skirts with printed t-shirts, crop tops or cotton tank tops. On your feet? Trainers, flat sandals or minimal slippers. Add a shopping bag and get ready for a day in the city or on holiday.

For aperitifs and for the evening, go for satin or satin models to be worn with a matching top or a blouse, if you want a more elegant look. Complete with medium heels and a mini bag.

On holiday, however, go wild. Carry floral print midi skirts and wear them with tops, tank tops and swimming costumes. Choose your favourite slippers and enjoy your holidays in style.
