Fashion: Why a midi skirt is the perfect transitional fashion staple
While some designers are still obsessed with the micro miniskirt trend, you may be relieved to learn midi hems are making a return for spring/summer.
Unlike micro-minis, the great thing about skirts that fall below the knee is you don’t need to wait until summer to wear them.
A midi (or midaxi, where the hem lands slightly lower on the calf) is a brilliant option for that transitional phase when spring hasn’t quite sprung, but you’re ready to switch up your style for the new season. On chillier days, team an A-line skirt with a fine knit rollneck or a chunky jumper and knee-high boots for a look that’s cosy but chic (you can even wear tights underneath and no one will be any the wiser).
Come summer, swap jeans for a denim midi skirt and a tee, adding statement trainers for a laid-back weekend look.
