Love It Or Leave It: The Midi Skirt

Photo of midi skirt

One of the biggest trends heading into this fall is the midi skirt. (Get it? Not maxi, not mini, but mid-length—took me a while to figure that one out.) These calf-length skirts feel delightfully retro—especially the swingy, pleated versions—and it's always a bonus when a trend is work-appropriate. The problem? They can be tough to wear, especially for those of us who are vertically challenged. I'm 5'3 with short legs and on the rare occasion I find a midi skirt that actually hits at mid-calf (rather than dragging on the floor), it's not particularly flattering. "Stumpy" is really the best way to put it. So what about you? Are you embracing the midi skirt or leaving it on the rack? [Shown: Pleated Midi Skirt, $190, ASOS]
