What shoes to wear a skirt with in winter: simple examples that you can easily repeat. Who are midi skirts for? What are the styles of the midi skirt

For a long time I should have written a basic post about the length of the skirts, so I'm fixing it :)

It's actually pretty simple with skirts and dresses. We take a maxi skirt or just wrap ourselves in a sheet or a thin blanket :)) And in front of the mirror, slightly lift the fabric up and see how the leg looks like.

As a rule, a skirt looks best in the tightest places of the leg. For example, in the ankle area, under the knee, up to the middle of the knee, just above the knee. But the shape of the legs is, of course, so individual that it is best to conduct an experiment in front of a mirror or take a picture in skirts of different lengths.

But let's just take a look at a few bloggers as an example. Attention, I am not saying now that someone is fat, thin, wide and so on. We're just doing an experiment and trying to figure out which skirt length looks more profitable when different form legs.

By the way, it's not so easy to find fashionable bloggers with imperfect legs today :)

The length in the calf area can be critical, if they are not thin (in the photo on the left). Option on the right with a good length to the middle of the knee. This is a Finnish blogger http://lindajuhola.com/fi/


It is especially difficult with such a length if it is combined with shoes without heels.

The length looks good to the point where the calves taper:

And what is interesting, in her case the mini version looks good.

And here is an example of when in the image of shoes and tights in contrasting shades. Thick tights in a dark shade with matching shoes would look better.

Here I want to shorten the skirt by 2-3 centimeters.

If you want the effect of slender legs, then the ankle boots should open the ankle, otherwise they shorten the leg and make the legs visually heavier.

Below is an example good length, but with such a strap on your sandals you need to be careful. On the one hand, he emphasizes beautiful ankles, but on the other hand, shortens the leg, although in in this case the girl seems to be tall, so she looks good.

More critical length to mid-calf on the left and option to the knee on the right.

If the shape of the legs seems to be problematic for you, then skirts with an asymmetrical hem can be a great solution. Such a skirt does not focus on one specific place of the leg, it creates a more harmonious silhouette.

And as a third blogger, the well-known http://taneshaawasthi.com

V Lately she chooses the length more accurately and often wears skirts and dresses up to the middle of the knee.

In the example with the blue skirt, I want to raise the skirt a little.

And if in the example above the strap on white sandals still looks not so critical, then black straps with bows are too strong an accent for such a skirt length.

And below are some examples of what the shape of the legs looks like when the length is above the knee and below in her case:

Do you know your ideal length?

Fashion only recommends when the skirt should be shortened and when it should be lengthened. The freedom of choice is always yours. The main thing is in what lengths your legs will look not only good, but perfect! Adjust the length so that it does not end on the wider parts of the ankle, calf, knee, or thigh. The most unfortunate length of a straight skirt for women with full legs is mid-calf. No man would look after her. Insofar as horizontal line the bottom of the skirt runs along the fullest part of the lower leg, then it creates the impression that the mistress of the skirt is old and fat.
