Style Edit: a timeless selection of longer skirts for spring

You might have noticed that hemlines have lengthened this season - the lower the better and they’ll remain there long into summer (only swapping heavier fabrics for linen and light cotton). Whilst I usually reserve shorter styles for summer heat (although I’m sure I’ll be donning a couple of floor-skimming skirts during our holiday in August), midi and long skirts are a perfect alternative to pants and jeans for spring in milder weather - just don’t wear sandals outside just yet if you’re based in the northern hemisphere.

Plus the long midi skirt is the perfect way to update your wardrobe, if you’re feeling a little out of step with the trends, yet still want to invest in a timeless piece. Go for a versatile denim, cream or black so that you can wear them with everything and a style that sits high on the waist for a more flattering silhouette - belt waists if they’re a little big.
