They look just as good with sneakers and tees as they do with shirts and heels or swimsuits and sandals; satin midi skirts are everyone’s favourite and for good reason. Cut on the bias so that they skim your silhouette without clinging too tightly, these smooth-to-the-touch designs are the perfect styles to stock up on, and we’ve got one for every budget.
Steal…
Cotton On’s Woven Belle Bias Midi Skirt
Not made from silk but just as smooth and shiny, this slip-on style is our #1 pick for those who are truly obsessed with this silhouette. It comes in four trending prints – from stripes to leopard spots – to wear on rotation.
TOPSHOP’s Satin Bias Cut Midi Skirt
Simple but far from plain, this red satin skirt will be the hardest working staple in your wardrobe all year ‘round. On warm sunny days wear it with a knotted t-shirt and slides, then when winter hits style it with your fluffiest sweater and leather ankle boots.
Splurge…
Lee Matthews’ Bella Satin Skirt
Cut from 100% silk, this painterly floral skirt is worth the investment. Bring your cost-per-wear down and style it with everything from the matching silk cami to your favourite logo tee. Take it to the office with a tailored blazer then wear it all weekend with a bikini top and a big straw hat.
Michael Lo Sordo’s Maxi Slip Skirt
One your bridesmaids will thank you for, this candy-coloured silk skirt is a wedding-ready style they’ll be able to wear again and again without alterations.
Georgia Alice’s Hils Skirt
Currently on sale, this metallic silk skirt is practically a steal. Semi-sheer and high on shine, it’s made for the sartorially savvy. Channel Kate Moss in the ‘90s and show off your chicest black lingerie set or look to long layers, like tucked-in shirts and boyfriend blazers, to make it work.
