ASOS Premium Pleated Midi-Skirt
We’re going all gooey and girlie at the moment over one of Spring/Summer’s most exciting trends: the new midi-lengths, seen everywhere from the catwalks of Marc Jacobs to Prada. A look that manages to be both prim and knowingly sexy, playing up to every bloke’s “stern secretary” fantasy, this a very classy way to show off your feminine and playful side.
Autumn/Winter 2010 saw midi hemlines worn in heavy wools, camels and tweeds, but now things are getting a whole lot frothier and girlier as the high street takes inspiration from Chloe’s S/S 2011 collection, which was filled with long, floaty creations fit for a ballet dancer. Think romance and flower fairies as this season’s dresses are coming in sugary pastel colours and pleated, draped fabrics.
There have been stunning pieces from the likes of Chloe and Marchesa who’ve worked this trend for Spring, but there’s also a rich seam of beautiful midi-length gems on the high street. Asos is teeming full of them – our absolute favourite piece is their pleated midi-skirt in a pale sky blue, which can be worn with a sheer shirt to keep the look super-girlie or a leather jacket and black lace to toughen things up.
