I'm a real short skirt kind of girl. Normally, anything over the knee (or even near the knee) would be met with the automatic response of 'Err, how old-fashioned!'. But over the last year, something has changed. I think it all started with the maxi-dress, which opened my eyes to a whole new world of exciting lengths. And now autumn is approaching, I think I might give these Midi- and Maxi-length skirts a go ('cause you've got to admit: short skirts don't keep you warm whatsoever!). They're extremely popular at the moment, and are seen everywhere, from red carpet-events to regular fashionistas on the street. Don't know what kind to wear? Then don't despair; the midi-length skirts fall just below the knee, whereas the maxi-length skirts go right down to the floor. From floaty designs to dark colours, everything is possible, as long as you keep one crucial thing in mind: always add a pair of heels. Oh, and some confidence.

Sorry for the long post, there are just so many great examples! What do you think of these midi- and maxi-length skirts? Love 'em or Bin 'em?
Love the Ms. S. skirt. :)sarahD
ReplyDeleteThere are a few maxi skirts I've seen which I love, but then I have no idea what to wear them with in winter to keep warm on top- to me, maxi skirts are normally worn with a light vest or tee! So any advice would be great! Love Carey Mulligan's look too.
ReplyDeleteThat is actually a really good idea, I might do a post on how to wear a maxi-skirt! Thank you for your comments, I do appreciate them a LOT.

ReplyDeleteCute skirts! <3
ReplyDeletei think maxi-length skirts are lil bit critical. if you are a short person it just looks ridiculous (like on me). i don't think i'll get this look, but i like your post. the streetstyle-pics are over-the-top again!
ReplyDeleteI really like Carey Mulligan's look, but for me I think I would have to do a maxi skirt instead of something that hits at mid calf.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend!!!
such a fabulous selection and examples of the midi/maxi skirts...so much inspiration to draw from. alexa chung and carrey mulligan are nailing this look!

I haven't fully embraced this trend myself, though the striped maxi might make me sway.
ReplyDeleteChic on the Cheap
Really enjoy your blog-good stuff!!

I absolutely LOVE seeing longer lengths making a comeback... so ladylike, so classy! But being super small, I'm just not sure if I can pull if off, sans heels. Yeah I'm too chicken! :P
