Long enough to stay put on a windy day, but stopping short of the puddle-covered streets, the midi is a wardrobe superhero. Still unconvinced? Get inspired by the scores of celebrities championing the silhouette for every occasion.
Date night: Give your trusted mini dresses a break. Despite the extended length, a sheer panelled midi skirt like Priyanka Chopra's is instantly sexy. Emma Stone and Rose Byrne paired their black calf-length skirts with peekaboo lace blouses, for a playful evening look.
Post-work cocktails: Take your midi from boardroom to bar in no time and just a few steps. Take cues from Taylor Schilling and Lupita Nyong'o and stick to a simple sheath in a punchy hue, which can easily be toned down with a crisp blazer while at work. Love Victoria Beckham's high-necked midi dress, cut-outs and all? Make it office-appropriate by wearing it with a sleeveless blazer.
Black-tie dinner: Want a slimmer waist instantly? Put down that kale juice and adopt one of this season's full-skirted midis, loved by Sonam Kapoor and Keira Knightley alike. This upgraded '50s favourite creates the illusion of an hourglass figure, making us feel less guilty about skipping that last Pilates lesson.
After-party: Layering is the key here. You can go monochrome and edgy like Beyoncé, who pairs a cropped biker jacket with her simple tank and skirt, or feminine like Blake Lively and wear your full, printed midi skirt with a trench. Add a pop of colour with your shoes.
Weekend brunch: Take a lesson from Deepika Padukone's pretty pastel ensemble or Freida Pinto's micro-checked day dress for a lazy Sunday afternoon with the girls. Chrissy Teigen's cropped top and culottes combo—complete with that sun-kissed tan—is the kind of look you can easily take from brunch to a rooftop sundowner.
