Katie Holmes and French women understand that this is the most stylish skirt trend to pair with flats.

      Summer 2024 will always be etched in my memory as the era of white midi skirts. While I definitely sported one (and still do), my go-to style tends to be black midi skirts, which aren't as "trendy" as their white counterparts. In fact, I wear them throughout the year, often pairing them with flat shoes—just as Katie Holmes recently did in NYC. She was recently seen in a black midi skirt teamed with an oversized striped button-down shirt, a red bag, and flat Mary Janes.

      Certain flats, like pointed-toe ballet flats, look elegant on their own, but others require a little assistance. I can assure you that every single pair of flats I choose to wear with my black midi skirt instantly elevates the look. Even sneakers. And you know who else, besides Holmes, gets this style tip? French women. I often see them rocking full midi skirts with flat shoes while looking effortlessly chic. If you need more evidence, keep scrolling to view Holmes's outfit featuring her black midi skirt and flats, alongside a few very fashionable French women. And naturally, check out my favorite black midi skirts available online. Trust me—you'll find yourself wearing this piece frequently.
