Now that I’m back to my regular size and have Boden on a schedule, I’m excited to get back to sharing more style content. Momming is definitely a new part of my life that I’m integrating, but The Grey Edit was born as an ode to all things style. So let’s get back to more outfit edits and style resources, shall we?
Today I’d like to highlight the satin midi skirt — one of my favorite pieces that’s very on-trend this year. It’s a great example of an elevated basic with how versatile it is. Plus, with so many colors and prints available right now, it’s one essential you need for the season ahead.

SILK BLEND TEE | SATIN MIDI SKIRT | MINI TOTE BAG | LEATHER SNEAKS | MATTE SUNNIES
The midi skirt obsession has been going strong since last year and I can see why. It makes for endless styling opportunities! In the spring / summer you can pair your satin midi with a sleeveless ribbed top or tee. Throw on strappy sandals for a night out or sneaks for a casual look. Layer with a blazer for added volume and warmth. In the fall / winter you can rock a sweater or leather jacket. Dust off your favorite pair of booties or rock a knee high for extra sass.
What makes the satin midi skirt a great example of an elevated basic is the versatility and added edge. The silhouette and varying styles make this piece a staple that you can wear from season to season and get a ton of use out of in your wardrobe. The material of satin — which can vary in quality and price — makes this piece a little extra saucy.
If you don’t yet have a satin midi skirt in your wardrobe, I highly suggest adding at least one for fall. Start off with a neutral color of black, brown or cream. Then, if you’re feeling the fit and feel, try adding one in your favorite print like animal or floral. Lastly, if you’re really wanting more — go for a pop of color. You’ll have a great assortment to carry you through the next year to work with existing tops, shoes and jackets.
Below are my fave picks available now —
NEUTRAL SATIN MIDIS
PRINTED SATIN MIDI SKIRTS
POP OF COLOR SATIN MIDIS
This outfit was inspired by the cream colored satin midi skirt I recently was gifted from & Other Stories. I had a printed option and was desperately seeking a neutral version to style more frequently, and alas — I found it. As fall is just around the corner, I’m really leaning into those autumn hues of browns, tans and olives. This silk blend tee felt like the right pairing.
Since I’m living in comfort these days as a new mom — I’m getting tons of use out of my Golden Goose Superstars. No joke, these are the must-have sneaker for any modern woman on the go. You’ll get your money’s worth and they honestly get better with every wear.
Lastly, I’m pretty into the mini bag trend and fell in love when I saw this knotted tote under $30. It comes with a crossbody strap and as I normally rock a high quality leather bag, this fast fashion option is going to get a ton of use this fall with my wardrobe. I can feel it. Also — added to this look was the essential everyday matte pair of sunglasses I’ve been rocking for the last year and then some. Under $60 and as I mentioned… essential to your everyday.
I hope this post lent some inspo as you get your closet ready for the fall season ahead. If you’re into the satin midi skirt as much as I am — drop a line with your favorite style in the comments below.
