Trend: Midi Skirts

Midi-skirts, which for many years in a row had the status of an extremely boring thing, are becoming the most popular length of the upcoming season.

Skirts just above or slightly below the middle of the calf were never forgotten, but right now the designers have decided to visually prove how boring they can be. At the Alexander Wang show, a midi skirt was made of a jersey with a wide belt, Helmut Lang had a complex drape with many folds, Yves Saint Laurent had a leather, concise, without any details, Vika Gazinskaya had a tulip-shaped skirt and the year, beloved by stylists and reporters.

The return of fashion to the average length of the skirt can be attributed to fatigue from too short or, conversely, too long dresses, a universal suddenly awakened love for the 70th or an unspoken reverence returning to Celine Phoebe Failo. In any case, midi skirts are worn again. And the chief editors of Vogue, Anna Wintour and Karin Roitfeld, never parted with them at all.

The mass market is not far behind - judging by the autumn lookbooks, in Topshop and Zara there will be a real domination of midi of all kinds of colors and models.
