The actress made off-duty style look chic.
With winter right around the corner (seriously, where did this year go?!), it’s hard to resist the temptation to pile on layer after layer of clothing. I mean, sure, a giant puffer may keep you snug as a bug in the colder months but it doesn’t exactly read as a chic outfit choice. And it’s not like our calendars ever really clear out, either, because there always seems to be an event to get dressed up for during this season, whether it be catching up with girlfriends over brunch, shopping for last-minute gifts, or going to the office holiday party.
That's why choosing stylish and practical pieces is definitely the way to go. Thankfully, Ellen Pompeo's latest look is giving us plenty of outfit inspiration.
On Thursday, December 5th, the Grey’s Anatomy actress was seen out and about in Los Angeles wearing a demure midi-length denim skirt with a front slit with a cozy-fitting ivory knit long-sleeved sweater. Pompeo accessorized her climate-approved outfit with slouchy black knee-high boots, 70s-style aviator sunglasses, and an overly capacious bag she held under her arm. What makes the outfit if you ask us the trendy denim midi-skirt that instantly brings the outfit down-to-earth while still maintaining a sense of sophistication.

Denim midi-skirts were all over designer runways this season, popping up everywhere in the collections of Acne Studios, Gucci, Michael Kors, and more, proving that this certainly is a stylish wardrobe staple you’ll want to be sure is in your outfit rotation. They’re more demure than a mini-skirt and a regular pair of jeans while providing extra warmth and heft compared to a silk slip or velvet skirt. A pair of heels can dress them up in a pinch, but you can never go wrong with a tall boot like Pompeo did.
Picking out a denim midi-skirt with a front slit also gives the style a bit of lightness, plus pairing the more rigid fabric with a lighter top gives your outfit the perfect balance of the aforementioned style and practicality. In simpler terms, wearing one of these out is a win-win situation!
