For several seasons in a row, the midi length has been gaining momentum in the fashion world. The knee-length skirt on the catwalks has almost supplanted the mini and ultra-mini, which were very popular for a very long time. There is an explanation for this: this length has always been a symbol of elegance, femininity, and discreet chic.
Knee-length skirt styles
Skirts and midi dresses have always been the basic component of the wardrobe of all true ladies of all ages. And today, skirts up to the middle of the knee are offered by all eminent couturiers, who unanimously included many styles of such skirts in their collections. A pencil skirt, a bell skirt, a year skirt: any of them will make the image sophisticated and feminine, appropriate in almost any environment and, of course, stylish and fashionable. Having even one such skirt in your wardrobe, you can skillfully combine it with other things from your wardrobe to achieve several winning looks for every day of the week.
What looks best with a knee-length skirt, which style to prefer, consider below.
Pencil skirt for work, but not only
For the office, a medium-length pencil skirt has always been considered the most ideal option, hiding figure imperfections and able to emphasize dignity - after allsuch can be worn by a woman with a variety of proportions. The decisive accent is played by the right top and a set of accessories.
A tailored knee-length pencil skirt looks best with white shirts and fitted tops tucked in. From above, the image can be supplemented with adjacent cropped jackets or cardigans. A jacket, blouse or cardigan can be with a peplum. With their help, the silhouette will look more elegant, which is especially true for curvaceous ladies. This image is appropriate not only for office everyday life, but also for any official event, presentation or business dinner. Complement this look with classic pumps or a pair of pointed high heels.
Knee-length pencil skirts can also be worn with turtlenecks that can be tucked in or worn out. Fur accessories and long gloves will add a retro touch to such a bow. In this case, high boots with heels are suitable for shoes, completing an elegant retro look.
What to wear with a flared knee-length skirt
Many fashionistas love curvy flared knee-length skirts, but these models are not suitable for every body type. For example, they are contraindicated for short and thin girls, because they visually break the proportions.
Tall girls with narrow hips can successfully wear pleated or flared skirts that make such a figure more feminine.
A knee-length flared skirt like no other piece of clothing, except, perhaps,the same dress, can become the highlight of a feminine image in a romantic style. When going on a romantic or friendly date, this skirt can be accompanied by a top or blouse in a pastel shade.
These midi skirts can be successfully combined into one look with T-shirts, long sleeves, sweaters, elongated cardigans in the style of the 40s and bombers. A brightly printed bag or a noticeable clutch will successfully complete a trendy and stylish street set, along with shoes that can be very diverse: from stiletto sandals and ankle strap shoes to retro-style heeled ankle boots. Tall girls can get edgy and trendy with a full skirt paired with a sweater or cashmere t-shirt by pairing them with a pair of grunge-inspired brogue boots, enhanced by a small rucksack bag embellished with studs and metal studs.
Skirt year - actual retro
The style of the year immediately refers the image to retro - a thing with an additional frill along the edge is very characteristic in itself. However, a skirt so fashionable today, with the right choice of companions, can create a fresh and fashionable look.
Such wardrobe items visually hide the fullness of the hips. Also, a wide frill along the edge of a rather narrow skirt can visually stretch the figure, making it slimmer.
A medium-length year is the perfect evening option. A knee-length skirt made of a rich fabric such as taffeta or velvet is already an ornament in itself, but you can complement it with a topwith sequins and laconic stilettos. A simple gray or black office-style skirt can be complemented with an English collar shirt. Also, a knee-length skirt can be combined with a cropped jacket, add a wide belt with a massive buckle to the set.
Bell skirt
The happy owner of an hourglass figure and slender legs should pay attention to the style of the bell skirt, which can emphasize all the advantages of a feminine figure and hide possible minor flaws.
The length of the knee-length skirt in combination with the "bell" cut again refers to retro - this skirt is the perfect representative of the new look style. Rigid and dense fabrics are suitable for this style, which, without additional folds, hold the shape of an inverted bell well. To complement such a skirt with a fashionably simple white or contrasting blouse with short sleeves or three-quarter sleeves, a plain turtleneck, for summer, choose laconic sleeveless chiffon tops tucked under the skirt. Choose shoes only with heels. If a mini bell can be combined with ballet flats, then knee-length skirts require only heels.
Puffy Tutu Skirts
The so-called tutu skirt is a multi-layered skirt made of thin tulle or tulle, really very similar to the tutus of ballerinas. This style of a knee-length skirt migrated to the wardrobes of fashionistas after the cult TV series "Sex and the City", when the main character appeared in the frame in such a pale green skirt.
Today such skirts are popular in pastelcolors - mint, pale pink and powdery, light blue. These delicate shades emphasize the fragility and airiness of the image.
Complete this skirt with a simple light top and heeled shoes. You can add a black leather jacket to the pack for an interesting contrast.
Sheer mid-length skirts
In the latest collections of fashion designers, there is a trend for knee-length skirts sewn from transparent materials. Photos from fashion shows prove that the combination of revealing fabric and chaste length does not look vulgar, but certainly not for everyone. Wearing such a skirt is only for owners of slender legs.
Under a skirt made of transparent material, be sure to put on a short cover, closed underwear, bodysuit or shorts in a flesh-colored or bright shade that contrasts with the main outfit.
In the new season 2016, all stereotypes about the old-fashioned and boring look of knee-length skirts are completely broken by a new look at this wardrobe item. Feel free to experiment and look for your style!
