Not sure what to pair with your midi skirt? If you’ve been looking up how to wear midi skirt petite, these outfits give you plenty to try.
Think short cardigans, tucked shirts and everything from pointed heels to simple flats.
You can keep things simple or go all out with sparkle. Use these looks as outfit inspiration rather than a height guide: the same skirt can fall differently on you. A few longer styles are included for their pretty combinations too.
Midi skirt outfits worth saving
green on green
We’re starting off strong with this gorgeous dark green pairing. I love the shine on the skirt next to the textured sweater.
Those silver-colored pointed pumps are such a pretty finishing touch.
Try a small front tuck to show the top of your skirt without tucking in the whole sweater.
white ruffles and blue
How cute is this little white top? The ruffled sleeves and flared hem look so pretty above the straight blue skirt with its big front pockets.
If you don’t like tucking in your tops, try a shorter one like this. You still get to see the pocket details below it.
cream pleats and two-tone shoes
This pleated skirt may just be one of my favorites here. I love the cream color with the loose gray-beige turtleneck, plus those black-toed shoes.
The yellow shoulder bag is a lovely little surprise. Try adding one bright accessory if your outfit is mostly neutrals.
blue flowers and a white cardigan
If you are looking for something sweet and simple, this one is for you. A short white cardigan sits just above a pale blue floral skirt, with white strap shoes underneath.
The beige shoulder bag keeps the accessories understated.

white shirt and glossy black
I am obsessed with this black-and-white outfit. The glossy straight skirt looks so good with the tucked white shirt and pointed black shoes.
Add a slim black belt with a gold-colored buckle if you want to follow this look. That little detail at the waist is worth keeping.
small checks and burgundy boots
Don’t want to tuck in your sweater? No problem!
This oversized white turtleneck hangs loose over a small-check skirt. I love the burgundy ankle boots underneath.
For your own version, try the outfit on with both a loose hem and a small front tuck. Choose whichever you like better.
tiny dots and a black tank
How adorable is that tiny bow at the waist? The white skirt has little black dots all over it, paired with a cropped black tank and black thong sandals.
Keep the top plain if you want the bow and dotted print to be the main details.
gathered skirt and mary janes
I love this black top with the full pale skirt. The little ruffled sleeves and black Mary Jane flats make it even cuter.
This skirt falls close to the ankles in the photo. If you want a shorter midi on your frame, look for the same gathered shape with a higher hem.
white vest and brown skirt
If you’re looking for an outfit without lots of layers, go with this white button-front vest and full brown skirt. The vest has a pointed hem that sits over the waistband.

Try brown flats and a pale handbag to follow the same color combination.
pink top and cargo pockets
The pink and beige pairing is so cute in this outfit. I especially love the big flap pocket on the skirt next to that simple cropped top.
You don’t have to add heels here. Black ballet flats and a small black shoulder bag finish the look in the photo.
navy dots and scalloped sleeves
This is another pretty dotted skirt, but it’s a little different from the one above. The white dots stand out against navy, with an open slit showing as she walks.
I love the scalloped edges on the cream top. Tuck yours in if you want to keep the skirt’s waistband visible.
beige skirt and pale wedges
Don’t want to add prints or bright colors? No problem there!
Try a white sleeveless top with a beige A-line skirt and pale ankle-strap wedges.
The large patch pocket is my favorite detail on this skirt. A fringed bag adds a little extra without changing the neutral colors.
checked skirt and layered tops
How cute is this checked skirt with the dark blue sleeveless top? There’s a white long-sleeve layer underneath, plus white socks above chunky dark shoes.
Keep the shorter outer top if you want to try this combination yourself. It leaves the gathered top of the skirt on show.
dark plaid and a high neckline
If you love darker colors, this plaid skirt is worth saving. The black sleeveless turtleneck keeps things simple up top while brown square-toed boots peek out below.
This one is closer to ankle length than a classic midi. You could borrow the dark plaid and sleeveless-top pairing with a shorter skirt instead.
black sparkle and a white tee
I am obsessed with this sparkling black skirt. It’s so pretty with a plain white tee, especially with those big silver-colored earrings.
Tuck your tee into the waistband to follow this outfit. The black thong-style shoes keep the footwear simple while the skirt gets all that shine.
cream tiers and a short jacket
This is such a lovely way to wear a full tiered skirt. The fitted dark blue jacket sits above the cream gathers, with turned-back cuffs and dark boots below.
Don’t forget the little purple neck scarf if you want that extra touch of color. I’d keep that detail!

leopard print and sneakers
Want to wear your printed skirt with sneakers? This leopard-print look gives you a cute starting point.
A white tee sits underneath a black biker-style jacket, with gray lace-up sneakers below the hem.
I love the small gold-colored buckle showing at the waist. Leave your jacket open if you want that detail to show too.

pink cardigan and a side slit
This pink cardigan may be my favorite splash of color on the list. It sits over a white cropped halter top and a black skirt with a high side slit.
The white high-tops are so cute with it. Try this combination if you want a midi outfit that doesn’t revolve around heels.
cream pleats and a black cardigan
Don’t want to go overboard with accessories? Look no further because this cream pleated skirt and black cardigan pairing is for you.
The cardigan ends at the waistband, with a small necklace at the neckline.
Finish yours with beige pointed pumps if you like the shoes shown here.
floral ruffles and red heels
Last but definitely not least, we have this pretty pale yellow floral skirt. I love the ruffles around the lower half!
The short white tee leaves them as the main detail.
