The midi skirt & how to wear it.

The midi skirt, which actually crept in last summer, is going to be a summer staple. A midi skirt traditionally falls just below the knee, so for those of us wanting to show a bit of leg, but not in a mini, and don't want a floor skimming maxi they are great. If you pick the right style of skirt, and co-ordinate it correctly, it can be a very flattering look as it highlights the slimmest part of your leg, the calves and ankles. 

Here are my picks from the shops, and below I show you how to style a few different looks. When styling your looks  you want to give yourself some waist definition with a midi skirt. Whether that's a cropped top, or a tucked in t-shirt, or a top layered but belted, make sure you show off your waist to balance off the long skirt.

For a smart work look or drinks with the girls team a straight midi with a body-vest. This Seed Heritage body-vest is great as it gives you the look of a cami tucked in with the draped front, but you don't get all the unsightly material under the skirt. Worn with a lined white skirt like this its a perfect complement. The jacket is belted so you can create a nipped in waist, otherwise there would be too much fabric.
