Midi Me

Hello Queens!
Today we are tackling one 2014 summer-spring icon : The midi skirt
Ok ladies ,let's do first a quick tour on skirts .When it comes to skirts, we have the minis , the  maxis and in between the mid lenght skirt known as midi.

The midi skirt is a versatile garment which is perfect for those who want to showcase their ladylike side.
This popular trend of the 1940's , have been modernized since by designers who highlighted its elegance and sophistication through new pairings.

How to chose it? how to wear it? let's check some pointers below.

How to choose it?
Choose the right length skirt 
Indubitably, what makes a skirt a midi is its length. It can be flared or fitted it really doesn’t matter; length is truly the determining factor. A midi skirt is one that runs below the knee to mid-calf. It is usually made with a higher waist line and compliments almost all body types. 

Petite ladies look best in midis that are just over the knee, while taller ladies can wear them longer.

Choose the right size
Slightly flared (skater midi skirts)midi skirts are flattering on many different body types.
Pencil midi skirts suit more woman with waist. Still , we have some declensions such as urban pencil skirt for H figure.

How to wear it?
Layer with a cropped jacket or cardigan
To keep a long leg line, layer with an item that doesn’t go below your waistline or make some tucking to make sure you don't loose it .

Be shoes wise
Yes ladies,you have to.
For instance,wearing ankle straps or oxfords with a midi skirt may make it look matronly, and it will make your legs look shorter. So be sure that your shoe is open on the top of the foot, like a pair of pumps or ballet flats to make your legs seem longer. A pointed toe and thin heel will further elongate your legs and make them look thinner.

For Which style?
Dressy Sporty
Pick your tee and pair it with a midi lace skirt(Ndlr La belle voile et dentelle) or any urban cutted one.You may add a jacket for a more polished look. Keep accessories minimals but outstanding.










Classy

Looking sophisticated and sexy is easy when you style your outfit around a midi skirt. Whether at office or for a dinner, wearing a midi skirt can make any outfit sexy and sophisticated! while keeping you classy and classic. Remember always keep your waistline by using a belt or doing some tucking.
Complete the look with pair of statement heels of course!

Girly
The bright skater midi skirt will always look amazing in a bold color .Try a neon one (Ndlr Cà crépite sous les Néons)pair it with a fitted form top or floral long sleeve shirt.You may also try some colorblocking here(Ndlr Do Queens Colorblock).
Complete the look with a paire of flats or heels.
The tip here is to keep it all bright.

Chic

You already know Queens,as usual  only premium quality here!

Do not fear to play with textures. You may even wear some leather !(Ndlr Don't fear to wear leather).When doing so,the only rule  to remember is to always dress up the look with a tailored  piece : tweed jacket...


Ladies,don't forget the midi flared skirt also works beautifully with a cropped top! It’s a total balance because the midi is so conservative.

Ok Queens that's all for today! now you can go Midi!
