A midi skirt might not be the first thing you reach for when it comes to building a winter outfit, but Instagram's best-dressed have been making a pretty good case for the calf-skimming hemlines lately. While each person offers their own spin on the wardrobe staple, the uniting theme seems to be wearing your skirt of choice with a stylish jumper, be it a chunky roll-neck, ribbed fabric or a pop of paintbox brights. The midi-skirt-and-jumper look has become a particular favourite of fashion minimalists such as Alexis Foreman and Brittany Bathgate, who tend to stick to versatile colourways of navy, cream and black. And the result? And super-chic look that massively satisfies my smart, classic taste.
Another uniting theme is contrasting textures, and the simplest of pairings can become instantly elevated when you experiment with fabrics. I'm thinking about Alexis's leather-skirt-and-wool-jumper get-up and Monikh Dale's tulle-skirt-and-chunky-crew-neck pairing, both of which pack their own personality but feel undeniably pulled together. So if you're not sure how to wear your favourite midi skirt as the mercury drops, feel free to use the below outfits to spark your imagination. Scroll down for the seven midi-skirt and jumper outfits to try this year.
Midi-Skirt-and-Jumper Outfits to Try for 2025:
1. Leather Midi Skirt + Oversized Knit + Knee-High Boots
Style Notes: A leather skirt and oversized jumper in matching shades are an easy way to make a statement, as seen on Alexis. Plus, have you seen those amazing knee-high boots? I'm in love...
Shop the Look:
I love Arket's knitwear.
So sleek.
Mock croc instantly brings texture to an outfit.
A silk scarf is so versatile, wear around your neck, in your hair or tied around a handbag strap.
2. Tutu Midi Skirt + Chunky Crew Neck
Style Notes: For a low-key party look, make like Monikh and throw on a chunky crew-neck knit over a frothy tulle midi skirt.
Shop the Look:
Baby blue suits so many skin tones.
The juxtaposition between the sporty brand but girly tulle skirt is so chic.
Aeyde is one of my favourite shoe brands for such classic styles.
This looks so much more expensive than it is.
3. Argyle Jumper + Pencil Skirt
Style Notes: An argyle knit and pencil skirt combo is one that you can easily take from the office to a dinner date. Add some classic black court heels to pull together the look.

Navy is a great alternative to black for a softer finish.
