The Modest Midi Skirt Is What You Need In Your Closet
That awkward length looks bang on trend with fresh prints, textural finishes and romantic volume.
By Gracia Phang,
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.
Louis Vuitton’s frothy tulle number, which took a thoroughly fluffy turn in an unexpected army green, juxtaposed with an oversize tough-luxe jacket and knee-high leather boots.
If you’re one for checks, look to Coach for styling tips: Exercise chic layering with a checked piece over joggers matched with a kitschy knit and a chunky coat for cosy allure.
More of a minimalist? Do like Fendi and make a break for sexy chic with a knitted version worn with an itsy-bitsy matching top – giant furry pillow bag optional.
If you’re feeling a little bold, take your cue from Gucci and get in some bad girl edge with one in sumptuous leather – with a plunging neckline and wispy trim thrown in for racy flair.
If you want to up your femininity, then make like Tory Burch and load up on blooms by teaming its floral version with a top and blazer in the same vein, but grounded the pattern play with a neutral, easy-to-pair palette.
