This Spring's vintage must-have item!

Whether full length or three-quarter, dressed down with a vintage thick knit cable knit jumper for a modern take on the grunge look, or dressed up with a body-con top and ankle strap heels, there was one very obvious piece on the runways this year which we are glad to have in our lives: the midi skirt.

The versatility of this trend as previously mentioned makes it both a winter and summer wardrobe staple, not just a passing trend carried off by the select few or slight of frame like so many past trends which seem to come and go.

The midi skirt is a suits-all trend, and a very feminine, flattering one at that thanks to 1970s inspired pleating, 1950s A-line cuts, cool cottons and sheer, floaty fabrics. 

Seen at shows such as Dolce & Gabbana, Marc Jacobs, Celine and Chloe, as well as on the likes of fashionistas Kate Bosworth and Alexa Chung, the different outfit combinations whether smart or casual, or for work or play are endless!
