The full midi skirt may seem more 1950s than 2015, but it’s taking the fashion scene by storm. Wearing a midi skirt is an easy way to look très chic. The full skirt is definitely having a fashion moment and there are plenty of ways to rock it to suit your style.
The silhouette is very retro, so play this up when styling it this season. The ‘Midi’ is a three quarter length skirt, falling halfway between your knees and ankle. It can take a variety of shapes – pencils, A-line, or circular – the key point is the length.
Full Midi skirts can be tricky to pull off, so stick to those that hit at or above the knee if you’re unsure of how to work the full skirt this season. Full midi skirts in neon colours such as bright pink, orange and green look fab and can always brighten your day. These fluorescent numbers are statement pieces; even though you don’t really put much effort into your outfits, it looks like you did. High heel shoes and colourful jewellery complete this eye catching outfit.
The full midi skirt has a reputation for being a sweet piece, but it’s easy to get edgy by adding cool accessories like leather belt, funky heels, purple or black lipstick. You can also dress down a full skirt by teaming it with sporty separates and accessories.
When looking at ways to wear a full midi skirt, try experimenting with unexpected styles. For days when you really don’t want to part with your favourite t-shirt, you can always dress it up with a statement necklace, heels, and the perfect pedicure.
