27 Midi Skirts You Need in Your Closet ASAP

Once a design associated with a 1950s silhouette, midi skirts were considered a prim and proper cut, a length reportedly preferred by the Queen of England for its demure profile. But the midi skirts of today are anything but formal, with brands and designers continually pushing the envelope on how to style the classic cut. Thanks to features like a body-hugging design or a well-placed slit, midi skirts now rival miniskirts in the sexiness department. As versatile as it is timeless, the midi skirt can be styled to evoke a sophisticated and elegant feel, or it can be sexy and casual. Here, our favorite picks for any occasion.
