Midi length definitely had a bang of granny off it and like sling back shoes it was often dismissed as dowdy. But with a hemline which falls below the knee it has actually turned into the surprise summer hit and I present the arguments for its fabulousness.
Worn most sexily and sassily in Mad Men, just take one little look at ANY episode starring Joan and the other leading ladies and tell me this isn't a fab skirt length.
The appeal crosses all generations as women in their twenties emanating Solange Knowles and Rita Ora are wearing the hemline length, while fortysomethings who realise how flattering it is are working it hard too. And it's Victoria Beckham's skirt length of choice. Need we say any more about how on trend and flattering Midi is?

Have I convinced you with these gorgeous picks? Fashion commentators agree that the midi trend will outlive the summer. So wear one now with sandals and bring it straight into autumn with tights and boots - it's a great adaptable trend!
