The piece
How to choose and wear a midi skirt
A skirt that ends between the knee and the ankle, usually mid-calf. It works with trainers, boots and heels alike, which makes it one of the most adaptable pieces in a woman's wardrobe.
How to choose
- Pleated, slip (bias-cut) and A-line midis are the most versatile shapes.
- A fabric with movement (satin, crepe, fine wool) looks expensive; stiff cotton can look heavy at this length.
- Neutral or deep colours first; prints are easier once the basics are covered.
Common mistakes
- ✕A long, loose top over it, hiding the waist.
- ✕Ankle boots that stop just below the hem, cutting the leg in half.
- ✕Too many layers of volume: full skirt, full sleeves, big coat.
Care: Hang by loops; steam pleats rather than ironing them flat.
In a capsule: A capsule piece that dresses up or down as easily as trousers.
