Olivia Palermo's Go-To Skirt Style Will Never Get Old
When it came time to write today's post showing our readers how to style one of the latest and greatest pieces from our Who What Wear collection (the Asymmetrical Ruffle Midi Skirt), I knew exactly who to look to for guidance: Olivia Palermo. Not only because she happens to be a fan of the asymmetrical midi skirt, as you'll soon see, but also because she's the queen of demonstrating how versatile a seemingly simple staple can be.
Whether she pairs her asymmetrical midi skirt of choice with flats and a bomber, over-the-knee boots and a statement coat, or a classic sweater and pumps, she nails the look every time, but in a totally different way, proving the piece’s staying power. To see just what we mean, check out seven ways OP has styled an asymmetrical midi skirt below; then continue to shop our ultra-affordable version.
Style Tip: Contrast a feminine skirt and accessories by throwing on a black bomber.
Style Tip: A camel-colored sweater and black ankle boots will complement almost any print or pattern perfectly.
Style Tip: Style your midi skirt with over-the-knee boots in the winter to stay warm and look cool at the same time.
Style Tip: When choosing other pieces to wear with your printed skirt, select colors reflected in the piece itself.
Style Tip: Play with proportions by pairing your asymmetrical skirt with a thigh-grazing jacket.
Style Tip: Don't be afraid to pair statement accessories with a skirt that's not necessarily neutral.
Style Tip: For a night out, tuck a lacy cami into your midi skirt in place of wearing a dress.
