Discover their history , the most iconic looks with midi skirts, and their endless possibilities for creating looks that suit you, no matter the occasion or season. But first...
What is a midi skirt?
Midi skirts are distinguished by their versatile length, which falls mid-calf, between the knee and calf, and do you know what makes them so special?
Unlike miniskirts or maxi skirts, midi skirts strike the perfect balance : they're stylish, comfortable, and appropriate for almost any occasion.
They became popular in the 1940s as a response to the restrictions of the time and became a symbol of freedom and style for women. It wasn't just a fashionable item, but a statement of independence. Women who opted for midi skirts were seen as modern and ahead of their time.
Today, this garment continues to evoke this strong feeling from a very feminine side.
“Midi” Women
Throughout history, women we admire have chosen the midi skirt as a key piece in their wardrobe, and there must be a reason...
Consider Audrey Hepburn , who made her a symbol of simple, timeless elegance. Hepburn needed nothing more than a midi skirt, a simple blouse, and ballet flats to stand out, proving that style lies in attitude and confidence.
Another iconic example is Diane Keaton , whose choice of midi skirts and wide-legged trousers defined an androgynous and sophisticated style. Keaton used the midi skirt as a way to express her individuality and break away from convention. Beyond fashion, her style spoke of a real, strong, and confident woman, unafraid to be different.
More recently, figures like Alexa Chung have demonstrated how the midi skirt can be modern, versatile, and appropriate for any age. Chung wears it with sneakers, boots, or heels, breaking the rules and redefining what it means to be feminine and powerful.
All of them inspire us to wear the midi skirt , not only as a garment, but as a form of expression .
