The midi skirt has long been the epitome of grace and elegance. Whether cut from leather, tulle or knit, they’re chic and easy enough for a weekend jaunt with your girlfriends, yet polished enough to wear to the office.
Besides, the practical hemline is perfect for those who are a little conscious of exposing too much leg. Pair yours with chunky boots, a blazer and gold accessories to make a high impact, or simply dress it down with your favourite T-shirt and a pair of sandals.
Who said modest is drab? All it takes is an adventurous spirit and a daring for fun textiles and bold prints. Ahead, some of the most stylish midi skirts of the season.
