Summer 2024 will forever be ingrained in my brain as the white midi skirt era. I certainly wore one (and still do), but the style I wear even more is black midi skirts, which aren't quite as "trendy" as white ones. In fact, I wear them year-round, and often with flat shoes—just as Katie Holmes just did in NYC. Recently, Holmes was photographed wearing her black midi skirt with an oversize striped button-down shirt, a red bag, and flat Mary Janes.
Certain flats (such as pointed-toe ballet flats) are classy on their own, but others need a little help, and I kid you not—every single pair of flats I wear with my black midi skirt looks instantly classier. Even sneakers. And you know who else, besides Holmes, is in the know about this? Yep, French women. I repeatedly spot them wearing full midi skirts with flat shoes, and they always look elegant and chic. If you want further proof, keep scrolling to see Holmes's black-midi-skirt-and-flats outfit, along with a couple of very stylish French women. And of course, shop my favorite black midi skirts on the internet. Trust me—you'll wear this piece a lot.
