The actress made off-duty style look chic.
Now that winter is upon us (honestly, where has this year gone?!), it’s hard to resist the temptation to dress in multiple layers. Sure, a giant puffy might keep you cozy and warm in the colder months, but it’s not exactly a chic outfit choice. And it’s not like our calendars ever really clear either, as there always seems to be an event to get dressed up for at this time of year, whether it’s meeting up with girlfriends for brunch, last-minute gift shopping or the office Christmas party.
That’s why choosing stylish and practical garments is definitely the way to go. Luckily, Ellen Pompeo’s latest look gives us plenty of outfit inspiration.
On Thursday, December 5, the Grey’s Anatomy actress was spotted in Los Angeles. She wore a simple, mid-length denim skirt with a slit up the front and a cozy, ivory, long-sleeved knit sweater. Pompeo also wore black knee-high boots, 70s-style aviator sunglasses and an oversized bag, which she carried under her arm. What makes the outfit special is the trendy denim midi skirt, which instantly brings the outfit down to earth while still adding a touch of sophistication.

Madewell Denim Midi Skirt
Denim midi skirts have been on the designer catwalks this season. They appeared in the collections of Acne Studios, Gucci, Michael Kors and others, proving that this is a stylish piece of clothing that you should definitely have in your closet. They are dressier than a mini skirt and regular jeans and offer extra warmth and strength compared to a silk slip or velvet skirt. You can jazz them up with a pair of heels, but you can never go wrong with a tall boot like the one Pompeo wore.
A denim midi skirt with a slit up the front also adds some ease to the style, and pairing the sturdier fabric with a lighter top gives the outfit the perfect balance between the aforementioned style and practicality. Simply put, an outfit like this is a win-win!
