STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Midi In The Middle

Veni, vidi, vici? Try mini, midi, maxi.

By now, I’m sure that we’ve all heard of the midi skirt. It’s not too long or too short; it’s just right, just like how Goldilocks likes it (flashback to childhood nursery stories). Midi skirts are perfect for summer and go with just about anything. They give off an effortless vibe and are flattering on all body types.

Midi skirts can range anywhere from right above the knee, like the Fashionista above, to mid-calf length. These skirts are holy grail staple pieces that every Fashionista should have in her closet and my personal favorite type of skirt. Midi skirts can jazz up an outfit or complement a good neutral piece, even a basic T-shirt. No matter your personal style or preference, I’m sure there’s a midi skirt out there for you: girly, bohemian or edgy. I mean, why do you think the Kardashian-Jenner clan always wears them?

This Fashionista wears her midi skirt as a statement piece. The black and white distressed pattern of her skirt complements her basic, black T-shirt and tan slide-ons. Imagine replacing her skirt with a standard pair of jeans or denim shorts; the outfit just wouldn’t be the same.The neutral colors of her skirt, T-shirt and shoes make the turquoise in her necklace pop and stand out as well. This skirt gives her outfit that beauty or interest factor for which I had to stop her on the streets of Philadelphia. So I’d say, if you don’t already have one, get yourself a midi skirt.
