Katherine Heigl’s gingham top, black boots, and bright bag are stylish. But with the midi trend walking the runways of Christian Dior and Miuccia Prada, it’s her skirt that catches our eye. We love the maxi and the mini, but right now we’re obsessed with the midi.

Midi Skirt
For a flattering fit no matter your figure, reach for the skirt everyone's talking about: midi skirts. Influenced by the lady-like look of the 1940s, the midi skirt isn't new. But with today's midis in an array of tulle, leather, and jersey, it's an evolved take on feminine style. The cut reaches just below your knees and can be worn with tall boots, ankle strapped heels, or even flats. It brings just the right amount of dressy to any day's outfit. Partake of the modern midi with a few of our favorite picks.
Gingham Shirt
Change out your classic plaid shirt by swapping in a gingham shirt instead. There isn't much of a difference, but the repetitve striped-print of a gingham shirt makes for an eye-catching style that you simply can't replace. Go casual by pairng with your favorite skinnies and the always easy infinity scarf, or dress it up like a Katherine did with a skirt and boots.
Gold-Tone Watch
Gold accessories are on trend this season, including watches. It's an easy way to bling up an outfit without going gold overboard. Swap out your two chains for a gold watch. Make this your go-to gold piece this season for any outfit.
Over-the-Knee Boots
A good pair of boots is a real investment, especially if they're over the knee. Heigl chose to wear them under a longer skirt, but you can easily slip them over your favorite pair of skinnies or leggings. We love them with textured tights and a skirt for an easy outfit that transitions from work to play. Depending on your style, you can go with leather or suede.
