The midi slip skirt has been big news for a while now but that doesn't necessarily mean it's easy to wear. They can be quite a daunting prospect, considering the clingy nature of satin fabrics and the very nature of a slip silhouette, but don't let that put you off.

'Super easy midi skirts are my wardrobe staple, and I return to this Arket one – which I got when the first store opened three years ago – on repeat. ‘Investment’ shouldn’t be a word reserved for expensive designer items. Whether I’m buying high street, high-end or vintage, which I’m happy to mix and match, I like to think long-term. I’m wearing it here with Totême boots from last winter and a Balenciaga jacket I bought in 2004.'
