Black satin is the evening equivalent of a white button-down. It works. It always works. The fabric has enough sheen to register as special occasion appropriate without reading as costume-y. The midi length gives you actual coverage and the satin drape means the silhouette is fluid rather than tent-like. Black satin pairs with everything from a simple tee to a sequined top depending on where you are going and what kind of evening you want to have. The fabric doesn’t wrinkle the way cotton does so you can actually sit down without looking like you spent the last hour folded in a car seat. These are the black satin midi skirts that sit in your closet waiting for the moment you need something that actually works.
