While the weather is slowly (but surely!) warming up as we creep into spring, hemlines are actually getting longer! After all, we've already explored the realm of all things "mini," and we've had our fill of maxi-length skirts and dresses as well, so it's about time we found a happy medium and tried something fresh with midi skirts! But don't worry -- more leg coverage doesn't necessarily mean the trends are trying to turn you ultra-conservative this season! Sure, mid-length skirts may not show off as much skin as a mini, but they can still be totally sexy in a sophisticated sort of way when paired with a slinky cami and strappy platforms! Plus, the movement of a swingy skirt leaves plenty to the imagination while managing to be flirty and fun, perfect for sunny, breezy spring days ahead! Go festive and floral with a floral high-waisted skirt like this full skirt from Urban Outfitters or this pleated one from American Apparel, or go vintage-y with lace and mixed textures with this Chandelier skirt available from ASOS. If voluminous skirts aren't your cup of tea, this Thakoon silk skirt has a slimmer fit, but still has plenty of gorgeous swingy movement thanks to its draped silhouette!
