Those who do not risk putting on too short skirts, most often opt for midi. But far from every woman can choose the best option for this model. After all, a midi skirt is considered the most insidious. With the right choice, it is a win-win option in many situations, because with its help you can successfully emphasize all the advantages of the figure. But if you make a mistake with length or pomp, all proportions of the figure will be violated, and the girl in it will look terrible.
A bit of history
Coco Chanel owes its appearance to the midi skirt. This famous modiste believed that her knees must be hidden, because they are very unattractive. One can argue endlessly with this opinion, but, you must admit, it has the right to life. Indeed, it was thanks to him that such an irreplaceable thing appeared in the wardrobe of women as a midi skirt.
The first peak of popularity she experienced back in the 40s of the last century. At that time, ladies wore skirts up to the middle of the calf. Subsequently, they were supplanted by a mini, but the fashion designers tried to resurrect the midi and popularize them among the female population. Sometimes it succeeded, but at times the ladies completely refused models that were below the knee. Only after 2010, midi firmly took a position in the global fashion market.
How to choose the right material, style and color
Before you start choosing a midi skirt, you need to know how it should look, what clothes to combine with. Important is its style and the material from which it is sewn. So, the length of the midi skirt varies, it can only partially cover the knee or be up to the middle of the calf.
A lot depends on what you wear with her. A prerequisite, regardless of style, is the heel. Midi is not combined neither with a flat sole, nor with sports shoes. But the thickness and height of the heel will directly depend on the fabric of the skirt. For a light, for example, chiffon or knitted model, a thin and necessarily high hairpin is ideal. Massive fabrics, on the contrary, will look better with a thick, pretentiously coarse heel, perhaps a platform will even be appropriate.
Do not forget about the combination of colors. The skirt and jacket, of course, should not be the same tone, but they simply must look good together. The same goes for fabrics. Do not try to combine wool with airy
chiffon blouses. At a minimum, you will be uncomfortable in a
warm skirt and cold sweater. Yes, and such a combination will look strange.
Currently, you can choose the classic lush options, sewn from knitwear, chiffon, satin, light pleated or any dense material. Or stop your attention on strict pencil skirts, which are often made of high-quality costume fabrics, wool or even leather.
We select the style according to the figure
When choosing, it is very important to take into account the peculiarities of the lady's growth and physique. Skinny and tall fit any midi skirt. Lush will be appropriate in an informal setting, narrowed down - at work. But low ladies will have to work on creating an image. As a rule, only pencil models that fit to the knee or slightly cover it are suitable for them. Longer options visually shorten and thicken the figure. That is why it is very carefully necessary to approach the choice of models of this length for full ladies. The edge of the skirt in the mid-calf area will visually make the legs much wider than they actually are.
The main condition for the proper wearing of this model is its fit. Its upper edge should be exactly on the waist, unless, of course, you have a midi skirt that is too high. By the way, the last option is suitable only for thin ladies who do not have a pronounced tummy. Otherwise, such a skirt will only emphasize all the flaws of the figure.
We place accents
But it is not always enough to be able to choose the right style for the figure, in some cases it is necessary to know the features of the midi skirt. So, many have already realized that wearing this model without heels is impossible. But this is not the only nuance. If you do not want to look older, then you can not do without makeup. A correctly selected bag is also important - any shopping bag will make you not a young fashionable girl, but a woman who went to the market for shopping.
It is very important to be able to correctly place accents in your image. For example, if you have a bright skirt, then you should not choose a jacket of the same color. It is better to muffle it a bit with a plain sweater or a simple cut blouse. Not enough brightness? In this case, pick up a beads or bracelet.
It is equally important to be able to harmoniously fit a pencil skirt into the created image. Please note: in order for a harmonious ensemble to come out, it is better to start from the fabric of which it is made. For example, tight skirts will look great with jackets, and satin skirts with blouses. A leather model is a great option for changeable weather in the off-season, it is amazingly combined with almost any outerwear.
Business style
The most striking representatives of the length of the midi are the elegant skirts that most ladies wear for work. This business option goes well with blouses, cardigans, shirts and even turtlenecks. Such an ensemble can be used in any office: a pencil midi skirt is suitable everywhere. But with lush models you need to be more careful. If the rules of the company do not set a strict dress code, and you see that many allow themselves small liberties in dresses, then you can safely take a flared midi.
But keep in mind that picking up the top for a fluffy skirt is a little more difficult. They will no longer be combined with business shirts or jackets. But a lace blouse will be a great option.
Romantic meeting
A fluffy midi skirt is more suitable for evening walks, meetings with friends. For an informal atmosphere, picking up the upper part of the outfit is much easier. In such cases, various blouses, T-shirts or t-shirts will be appropriate. In some cases, you can create the perfect ensemble with a corset or top. By the way, such a combination in the style of the 50s of the last century is recognized by many celebrities.
In a cooler time of the year, a pleated midi skirt will go perfectly with a casual jacket. Any magnificent model can be perfectly combined with turtlenecks; fur vests will look quite appropriate on top of them.
But you should not, going for a romantic walk or a date with friends, refuse skirts, “pencils”. They can be a great addition to a romantic image, give you a mystery. To do this, you can combine them with short jackets or even leather jackets.
