We hope that doesn’t sound too ‘feminine products’!! We’re talking about skirts actually. The maxi skirt/dress (we extolled its virtues in this post) now has competition in the modesty stakes. Enter the midi skirt.

Sitting, some might may uncomfortably, between the knee and the ankle - it usually lands bang mid calf – the midi skirt can bring to mind ‘frumpy school Mam’. But embrace your inner librarian we say! This trend can work for you!


Think like Betty from Mad Men and go for a wholesome full skirted a-line number teamed with a fitted shirt or cardigan.

Or channel your inner Joan in a wiggle worthy pencil skirt, pussy bow blouse and ladylike heels.

We’re going to try these on:
