Mini Skirts Are In, But So Is The Midi and Maxi
During spring, we saw a lot of mini skirts on the runway. And if you don’t follow the high-end brands, then you probably saw the trend in the streets and all over your timeline. However, with action, there must be an equal and opposite reaction.
The midi skirt has been around for a few years now, and some might argue that’s why the mini skirt decided to make such a strong appearance. However, the mini’s recognition was so extreme in the fashion industry that it could not be ignored. The reaction: a resurgence of the maxi.
Want to clap back to the mini skirt craze? Here are a few ways you can rock the midi and maxi lengths.
Many of us have fallen in love with the satin skirt trend. It’s effortless, yet classy. It looks like you put in the effort, but the skirt’s silky, chic texture is actually doing all the work for you. If you haven’t hopped on the bandwagon, it’s not too late. The style is still in for fall. Pair it with your favorite chunky sweater or form-fitting long-sleeve for those cooler fall evenings. Or you can wear it with a blazer or jacket to add structure back to the outfit to complement the skirt’s loose form.
Another great way to participate in this style is to rock a patterned midi or maxi. This is one of the easiest ways to look put together with minimal effort. Polka dots ad animal print are not always a fan favorite, but there are plenty of other patterns to choose from. Maybe you’re interested in stripes or geometric shapes. Whatever your style is, there’s a way to make this trend right for you.
A less common, yet extremely flattering style for the midi-maxi trend is the wrap skirt. The tie to the side draws the eye to the waist while also cinching you in. You can take a boho approach by choosing a natural fabric like linen or dressing up your outfit with a more classic style.
Something else not seen often, but is super wearable is a long denim skirt. These went out of style years ago, but are finally making a big comeback in a modern way. Like a good pair of jeans, this style can work with virtually everything in your closet. The key is to choose a denim skirt with a cool design like in the top photo. The wrap style accentuates the waist and the denim keeps everything in the mid-section looking smooth. Or make sure to choose a skirt with a slit in the front or on the side. It will not only make it easier to walk, but it will also help show off your legs.
There’s a time and a place for a mini skirt. However, midis and maxis are appropriate for every occasion. So, don’t throw out those satin skirts for fall and invest in alternative styles. Play around with a fun print, wrap style, or denim fabric. The long skirts are a closet staple that is here to stay.
