Tips for choosing a midi skirt
Type 1
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. Because sometimes it’s difficult to choose a midi-skirt that ends up at mid-calf, we may need to wear it shorter or get it corrected.Â
Type 3
Pick up a midi-skirt that is tight –fitting around the waist. A midi-skirt should start from the narrowest part of our waist. You can wear midi-skirt with a belt or alter the skin if it’s difficult for you to find a skirt that fits your waist in the correct way.
Type 4
It’s advisable to consult with a tailor when choosing a midi skirt. Find a skilled tailor to alter your midi-skirt to fit well your measurements. If you have a sewing machine and you are sure in your abilities, you can do the alterations yourself.
Type 5
A midi-skirt looks great when paired with a shirt. Give your outfit a shape by tucking your shirt into the skirt. Pick up a short fitted shirt which will add an effortless elegance to our look.
Type 6
Combine a loose shirt with a fitted skirt. You can achieve a well-balanced look in this way. This combination is suitable for a slightly dressed up outfit ideal for a day out.
Type 7
Button-down shirts combined with a midi-skirt are an excellent way to achieve an elegant office look. We can either pair a button down shirt with a loose-fitting or tight midi-skirt. The shirt will be tucked into the skirt.
Tip 8
Pair a plain T-shirt or a plain top with the midi skirt. A simple design T-shirt is a great choice for midi skirts. Having this combination we can either wear our midi-skirt loose or fitted but it should be tucked in both ways.

The other type of shoes suitable for midi-skirts are flats with pointed toes. Flats with an almond toe. When wearing flat shoes, considering wearing a shorter midi-skirt.
Ankle boots may look elegant but they not combine really well with a midi-dress. We should opt for long boots instead. Choose a pair of boots that are long enough to come under the midi skirt. If you don’t have long boots, you can choose to wear ankle boots with opaque tights underneath.
A pair of sneakers always adds up a casual vibe to any outfit. Pick up a plain pair of sneakers and combine it with the midi-skirt to achieve an effortless urban look. Choose such sneakers that are of one color and wear them with a basic style T-shirt and a loose-fitting midi-skirt.
