Pick up such a midi skirt that suits our body type. If you have a petite body type, you should choose a midi-skirt that ends up below or the knees. When we are short, a midi-skirt will make us shorter. But if we choose a skirt that ends just below the knee, it won’t make our body look shorter and it still falls into the midi-skirt category.
Type 2
We should pick up a midi skirt that ends at mid-calf which is the exact spot a midi skirt should end. That is why when choosing a midi skirt we should bear in mind our height.
