Song of Style
With A Peasant Blouse And Gladiator Sandals
Offset shorter hemlines with a long-sleeved blouse and flat sandals. (And yes, much more subtle gladiators also work.)
Get the look: Hinge skirt ($68); Free People blouse ($128); Steve Madden sandals ($70)
Forage Fashion
With A Skinny Scarf And Mules
It's all about balance here: The heeled mules lengthen legs, which keeps the midi from looking dowdy, while the silk scarf dresses up your basic tank.
Get the look: J.Crew skirt ($80); Henri Bendel scarf ($39); M. Gemi mules ($228)
With A Square Scarf And Sneakers
For a slight spin on the previous look, go Parisian with a chic little neckerchief, opposite your favorite clean white sneaks.
Get the look: Rag & Bone skirt ($195); Urban Outfitters scarf ($14); Adidas sneakers ($75)
With A Striped Tee And Lace-up Flats
Another take on French-girl cool: relaxed knits and sharp shoes.
Get the look: Topshop skirt ($52); J.Crew Factory shirt ($30); Halogen flats ($90)
Walk in Wonderland
With A Crisp White Shirt And Black Pumps
A formfitting skirt best lends itself to polished separates. Wear yours to the office and then to drinks afterward.
Get the look: McGuire skirt ($228); Gap shirt ($50); Stuart Weitzman pumps ($365)
With A T-shirt And Heels
A slight tuck in the front adds shape to the waist, while a pair of strappy heels elevates things all around.
Get the look: Ralph Lauren skirt ($165); T by Alexander Wang shirt ($85); Lulu’s heels ($22)
EJ Style
With A Striped Blouse And Nude Pumps
The prints and colors give off a ’70s vibe, but the A-line cut and V-neckline are timeless.
Get the look: ASOS skirt ($62); Rails shirt ($147); MICHAEL Michael Kors ($99)
With A Lace Blouse And Mini Bag
Distressed denim looks downright classy with a frilly top and a teeny tiny purse.
Get the look: Steve J & Yoni P skirt ($305); Sea blouse ($310); Furla bag ($298)
