How To Wear A Midi Skirt When You’re Petite

I once had a deep love for midi skirts. They’re modest, elegant and classic. However, the more I wore them, especially for the blog, I felt like I looked like I was drowning in the longer skirt. So I stopped buying midi length as often and opted for mini and knee length dresses and skirts.

Then LOFT brought out this leopard midi skirt, and I rekindled my love of midi skirts. It’s still a whole lot of skirt on my 4’10” frame, but I like it! Of course, for me, there are certain ways to wear this longer length that looks better than others, which is the basis for today’s post.

Keep your top simple and fitted

When I’m going to wear a midi skirt, I always keep the top fitted and simple. To me it lets the skirt do the talking, and also helps keep my shape.

Wear leg elongating heels

A leg elongating shoe can really be any high heel, but a pointed, nude heel is going to make your legs look even longer! You don’t want the skirt to make you look shorter, so add a little length to your legs.

Tuck it in

I always tuck my tops into a midi skirt (most skirts in general). The tuck brings in your waist and defines your shape so it wont get lost in the longer skirt.
