Olivia Palermo's Go-To Skirt Style Will Never Get Old 

When it came time to write today's post showing our readers how to style one of the latest and greatest pieces from our Who What Wear collection (the Asymmetrical Ruffle Midi Skirt), I knew exactly who to look to for guidance: Olivia Palermo. Not only because she happens to be a fan of the asymmetrical midi skirt, as you'll soon see, but also because she's the queen of demonstrating how versatile a seemingly simple staple can be.

Whether she pairs her asymmetrical midi skirt of choice with flats and a bomber, over-the-knee boots and a statement coat, or a classic sweater and pumps, she nails the look every time, but in a totally different way, proving the piece’s staying power. To see just what we mean, check out seven ways OP has styled an asymmetrical midi skirt below; then continue to shop our ultra-affordable version.

Style Tip: Style your midi skirt with over-the-knee boots in the winter to stay warm and look cool at the same time.

Style Tip: When choosing other pieces to wear with your printed skirt, select colors reflected in the piece itself.

Style Tip: Don't be afraid to pair statement accessories with a skirt that's not necessarily neutral.

Editor-at-Large

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2024, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
