Black midi skirts

What are midi skirts?

 Midi skirts are the perfect transitional and easily wearable style, ideal for changeable weather and for when you can’t decide between mini or maxi styles. They’re classically defined by being cut just below the knee or mid-calf, which can be hugely flattering as it draws the eye to one of the slimmest parts of the legs.

The midi skirt became popular in the 1940s and 1950s, when fashion designer Christian Dior presented them as part of a ground-breaking new style with a fitted jacket and a flared calf length skirt.

Get playful with animal print skirts, go retro with classic floral styles or for more of a slim style with a fitted midi skirt. Don’t forget you can also embrace colour with bright crimson red midi skirts or keep it classic with black midi skirts that work as the perfect foundation for any outfit.

Who should wear midi skirts?

The beauty of the midi skirt is that it works for every body shape and figure and can be styled up however you want.

Flatter your figure with a fitted midi skirt that can be perfect for the office, as well as being paired with a loose-fitting top to balance it out. For a curvier shape or to give a subtle nod back to retro style, try out a skater style midi skirt or a high waist midi skirt that can define your silhouette.

The beauty of wearing a midi skirt is trying out different style combinations and seeing what works best for you, from pairing it with a leather biker jacket to styling it up with a classic shirt.
