It's one thing to keep your eyes peeled for fall's hottest trends, but it can be quite another to actually pull them off. We know our whipsmart readers are all over midi skirts for fall, but we want to make sure that once you bring home that coveted treasure, you're also armed with plenty of ways to make it work. We took four of our favorite fall midis and turned them into chic looks that practically beg you to copy them. Will this how-to inspire even more midi outfit options from your wardrobe's secret stash? You tell us! Take a spin in one of fall's cutest trends, and learn how it's about to become a year-round closet must.

A flowing midi in a sweet neutral, when well-accessorized, can be a totally versatile look. A simple henley and Chelsea boot are essentials you already have lying around anyway (right?), so put them to good use when trying out this trend for the first time.

We love office-appropriate looks that don't completely require a post-work change before meeting up with pals for drinks or dinner at that new must-try resto. You can sneak past the boss' censors in this almost-casual fall look, but fun detail and color make it worthy of a good time, too.

Even those who work from home or freelance still need to be able to pull it together for client meetings and networking events. This look is polished, but a bright midi adds specialness to this outfit (and many more throughout the season!). Pair it with a cool knee-high boot for chillier days.

Is it just us, or is this look begging to go on a first date?

Don't let teeny mini skirts have all the fun this fall, a little mystery can be hot, too.
