Conservative ladies get in here, I have a feeling you would want to know what I have to tell you. You know how sometimes our religion and morally upright parents prevent us from doing and wearing certain things like miniskirts and even the a-little-above-the-knee skirts – because sitting down will automatically turn it into a mini skirt, and how we also have to cave in to their desires because our Nigerian cultural matrix is wired to frown upon disobedience to parents and religion. I understand this plight perfectly well because, experience they say is the best teacher. Good news is, conservative just became the new sexy! The midi skirt is in vogue.
Ever wonder why people that hold certain positions opt for skirts? I do think skirts have a certain aura of elegance they exude; even pants don’t evoke such presence. Skirts like every other fashion piece have passed through its own evolution; from midi to mini to micro mini and back to midi and I’m excited for its present state.
Midi skirts cut below the knee and are made to cover majority of the lower part of the body, it could either hang from your upper or lower waist depending on your preference. The beauty of the midi skirt is however in its versatility, they come in different cuts, the pencil cut, a-line cut, flared cut and so on.
Why should you give this trend a go? Here are my basic reasons:
1) The length is favourable for every event. You don’t have to worry about looking under or over dressed to an event, the fact that the midi skirt isn’t too long or too short makes it easy to do no wrong.
2) Midi skirts can easily be transitioned from day to night on one of those TGIF days were you need a good unwinding from work to the club. A lovely pencil PVC midi skirt will do the trick.
3) It is conservative enough yet stylish. Going to church doesn’t have to be fashionably ‘bleh’ anymore for you. Those ill-fitting granny-looking skirts can now have its deserved place in your bin. The modern translation of the midi skirt is trendier and sexier.
4) No one is perfect, everyone has a flaw; this however doesn’t make you less beautiful so the welcoming part of the midi skirt is its ability to cover the needful. I mean, let’s be honest with ourselves, not every female has Heidi klum-ish legs. If you have dark spots or your legs aren’t as straight as you would want it to be, wearing pants doesn’t have to be your only saving grace. The longer the skirt the better the coverage.
I hope I’ve been able to convince you and not to confuse you with the above reasons given that the midi skirt is here to do more good than harm, and jumping on the bandwagon would have you wishing there was no stop sign. The midi skirt is a must-have for every fabulous diva.
