A striped midi with an elastic waist and A-line skirt solves the fit question before you put it on. This one uses a V-neck to open the upper body, a sleeveless cut for warm weather, and a button front placket that runs from the neckline to the hem. The slub cotton blend gives the fabric a slight texture that keeps the stripes from reading as flat, and the midi length hits below the knee at a height that works with flats or low heels.

The cotton content in the blend—30 to 50 per cent—is enough to give the fabric breathability without sacrificing the shape-holding properties of polyester. The elastic waist adjusts as you move, and the single-breasted button closure lets you control the openness at the neck. The A-line skirt carries the stripe pattern through the full length without narrowing at the hem.

How to Wear It

For everyday wear, pair it with flat slide sandals and a straw tote—the striped midi reads casual and considered. For a lunch out or a shopping day, low wedge espadrilles and a crossbody bag add height without changing the relaxed tone. A denim jacket worn open over it works for transitional weather, with the V-neck and striped pattern staying visible at the front.
