The midi is the length that gets the most use out of any wardrobe. Neither as restrictive as the mini, which can limit your options for wearing it, or the maxi, which usually needs a specific shoe and setting to work. It falls right in the middle, and for that reason ends up being more versatile than either of the other two lengths.
You can wear it to the office. To a wedding. With boots in October or
sandals in July.
The problem is that not all midi skirts are made the same and an ill-chosen midi can make you feel lazy rather than styled. Which is why we pay extra attention to this particular length. These skirts aren’t included in our general skirts section because they deserve more consideration than that.
Here you’ll find midi skirts that live up to what the midi can do. Pl Beware that while none of those things sound very exciting on their own, finding a skirt that checks all those boxes can be surprisingly difficult. This also means we’ve paid special attention to offer variety within this category.
There are pleated styles here so you can add some interest to your outfit without it dictating your entire look. Satin skirts so you can look fancy wearing them with a simple white tee, or really feel fancy when you wear them to dinner. Prints when you need your outfit to do some heavy lifting.
And solid colours in silky, smooth fabrics that you’ll want to touch just because. Those will become the staples you wear over and over again and can’t imagine living without. The midi-length is often told to be a conservative option.
We’re calling bullshit. Sure it’s low risk, but that’s because it asks absolutely nothing of you beyond getting the fit and fabric right. When you do find that perfect combo you’re rewarded with a ease that you never know you were missing from shorter or longer skirts.
Every skirt in this curated list has met that standard. Consider is was why we’ve been so particular about this collection. The midi deserves nothing less.
