Girls and ladies of mature age can look attractive in any clothes, following fashion trends when choosing and taking into account the features of appearance. But, of course, the most feminine wardrobe items remain a dress and a skirt. As for the latter, it is very important to choose the right length, which will emphasize your advantages and give a seductive but inaccessible look. After all, what is too open is no longer so interesting and attractive. That is why the long skirt, which is also subject to current modifications, does not lose its fashionable position.
Skirt length: fashion trends
Fashionable people and even those who are just trying to live up to this “honorary” title know three skirt lengths - mini, midi and maxi. This is, as they say, the basics of fashion literacy, an eternal classic.
The fashion trend of 2019, which is gaining momentum this season as well, is midaxi. This is the middle category between midi and maxi - just above the latter and slightly below the first.To be more precise, the new length is 15–20 cm “above the maxi”. And maxi, as you know, is ankle length - in this case the skirt shows only the toes of the shoes.
The new trend, presented at fashion shows by such “giants” as Christian Dior, Balenciaga, Gucci, Chloé and others, is undoubtedly very comfortable and at the same time makes the image elegant and feminine. Let's see what options for maxi and midaxi skirts are most relevant today.

A long skirt can be straight or loose, flared, equipped with various decorative elements - folds, flounces, or be multi-layered. First, let's decide on the fashionable color of the skirt. There are many current colors, so the choice is usually limited to personal preferences.
Reference. When deciding on the tone of a skirt, there is no need to focus on the color type of appearance, as is the case when choosing a blouse or T-shirt, which must be “befitting”. But it’s better to take into account the season - for spring and summer, stylists recommend choosing light color options, for winter - dark ones.
For summer, fashionable shades such as pink-coral, turquoise, light shades of blue, mint, yellow, and beige are suitable.
Achromatic tones always look relevant and noble - elegant gray, “ever-trend” black and dazzling white.
Colors such as classic blue, dark blue, grass green, and purple will attract with their exquisite richness, and bright red will undoubtedly make you stand out from the crowd.
The gradient effect, when one shade smoothly “flows” into another, looks no less eye-catching.
Reference. To create a gradient effect, light and dark shades of the same tone or contrasting ones can be used. This design solution looks especially beautiful on silk, organza, tulle and other fabrics that are dynamic when moving.
