Midi Skirts

Stylish and Modest Midi Skirts

A timeless classic in the wardrobe of a busy third millennium woman. These practical midi-length skirts are highly versatile, perfect for driving, cocktail parties, office work, family outings, vacations, and holiday gatherings.

Essentials of a Modest Midi Skirt

The classic midi falls about 3-4 inches below the knee. In compliance with tznius modesty codes, it’s important that the knees are covered in all situations, so many of our models extend to mid-calf or lower.

Top 5 Tips for Choosing Your Midi Skirt in a Business or Aristocratic Style:

1. Choose opaque materials like wool, cotton, denim, knit, or blends of natural fibers with polyester or polyamide. Synthetic fabrics should have an antistatic effect.
2. Garments made of silk or synthetic material should be paired with an underskirt made of cotton or similar antistatic material, about 4-5 inches shorter than the top layer.
3. When seated, A-line skirts shorten by 1 inch, straight cuts by about 2 inches.
4. Avoid asymmetry in business styles—choose styles where the hemline runs parallel to the floor.
5. Monochrome outfits create a slimmer silhouette; feel free to experiment with pleated, layered, or pleated styles.

Choosing Modest Knee-Length and Longer Skirts by Style and Body Type

A-line styles suit everyone, helping to conceal wider hips and belly. They can range from having a few to a dozen seams, with or without darts.

Balloon skirts gather at the hem with a band or elastic, flattering petite figures while downplaying height.

Pencil skirts. A timeless office staple, midi pencil skirts with a raised waist visually elongate the figure.

Bell skirts flare only at the hips, effectively concealing a fuller belly.

Godet skirts flare from the knee, visually elongating and slimming shorter, fuller figures.

Pleated skirts suit all body types, requiring a simple color palette to complement the 3D fabric effect.

Layered skirts with wide flounces or multiple fabric tiers are great for drawing attention away from heavier hips and legs.
