Spotlight On: The Midi Skirt

n case you missed the memo, midi skirts are the hemline of the moment. This calf-grazing, style staple has reached cult status and to own one is to enter fashion nirvana. Really. We are not exaggerating. These simple slip-style skirts are the essence of contemporary style. What’s not to love, the feminine silhouette is always flattering, takes you from day-to-night and is versatile enough to wear all year round.

Take inspiration from Nicole Ballardini, who was spotted enjoying the Venice sunshine in French Connection. We're loving how she's styled a tied up shirt with her floaty midi skirt creating an effortless cool off-duty vibe.

Thanks to its demure, but not too formal hemline, the endless pretty, pleated, printed and textured styles offer infinite possibilities.

Meet your new perfect halfway house for mastering smart-casual dressing…

Wild side

Wear the animal print trend like a pro. Up the ante with a mixed print midi paired with an elegant lace top and barely-there sandals for an Instagram-worthy combination your influencer crush would be proud of.

Time to vamp

The humble black skirt is an indispensable weapon in the intentionally sleek, business-casual midi armoury. Anchor an elegant midi with a knit and heels for an appropriate work style with a crucial hint of vamp.
