We've been there, done that, with the mini and maxi trend, so it's only appropriate that we begin to embrace the new midi length trend that Prada, Chloe, and Miu Miu have put on the runway, right? This mid-calf, fuller skirt and dress trend is definitely here but is it here to stay?

A majority of New York women aren't 5ft 10in, and therefore wouldn't be caught dead in a midi skirt or dress because of the way it can give the appearance of much shorter legs and a thicker ankle. Not to fear though, there is hope for those of us who happen to be on the shorter side. There are ways to style this seemingly matronly and unflattering length to fit any short statured lady.

Yes, midi length skirts and dresses can potentially shorten your leg but the benefits outweigh the negatives. This vintage length can accentuate your feminine curves and minimize your waist and tummy. Simply pair your midi length frock with a waist-cinching belt, a pair of wedges or platforms, and some bold jewelry and you will be feeling totally fab with your new classy and retro look. The midi will give you a fresh, comfy and versatile style to play with for the cold weather months ahead.
