Floral Length


Florals and Midis - they're flattering and pretty.  
This floral midi skirt is a part of the Milly for Kohl's line.  Florals are easy, there's a bloom and shade to fit every style.  Midi's are a bit trickier.  For those gals that are tall, no worries but for us petites we've lived by the rule of hemming right at or above the knee to elongate.  

The way to elongate with a skirt that hits below the knee is to keep the waist high and for the hem to fall at the top of the calf - any longer would look matronly. Also choose heels.  With this fit you still achieve a long line and the pieces hit at the smallest part creating strategic focus.  
Also keep in mind the volume.  For shorter gals stick to pencil and a-line cuts.  Full volume skirts can overwhelm. 

This midi pencil skirt is super stretchy for a shapely fit.  The floral print is flattering as it camouflages, creating a smooth line. 

Dress it up with a blouse or keep it casual and style with a tied chambray shirt.
