STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Midi Madness

July 7th, 2015 at 2:00am

We’ve all gone through the “I don’t want to wear blue jeans because it’s way too hot out” phase, right? My all-time favorite remedy for this issue are skirts! Skirts are my go-to because they are classic, feminine and, depending on the style, can be worn anywhere. The minis and maxi skirts have had their reign in the fashion world for over a decade. However, there is a new trend that has taken over the spotlight— midi length skirts!

This fashion trend gives anyone the perfect amount of vintage flair. Middi skirts and dresses first hit the scene during the ’40s. In the late ’60s, people began to ditch the knee-length skirts for mini skirts. However, the tea-length trend regained wide popularity in 2014 and the midi craze has shown no signs of slowing down. They have been worn by countless celebrities such as Beyoncé, Kim Kardashian and Taylor Swift. Midis are great because they can be worn at any occasion and are flattering for all shapes.

This Fashionista is showing us how to rock a high-waisted midi for the nightlife. I love her orange patterned skirt because it is beautiful statement piece for the outfit. She lets the skirt do the talking and pairs it with a solid black spaghetti strap crop top. The Fashionista accessorizes with a pair of stud earrings, a gold watch and a small gold necklace to add the perfect amount of pop to this ensemble. She teams up her outfit with a pair of black strappy heels, another one of my favorite wardrobe essentials!

What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “I am definitely someone who enjoys changing up their look frequently. That’s my favorite thing about the midi. A solid color or patterned midi is a must-have because it allows so much versatility and lets your personal style shine through.”
