The modern maxi/midi

FORGET the floorsweeping maxi or a midi-length that hangs around the bottom of your calf — now it’s time to choose the anklegrazing maxi/midi.

This universally flattering style lets you show off a little flesh in the classiest possible way. Plus, it’s a great trick to lengthen your legs if you have an apple body shape.

Just remember to wear it with only the most fabulous shoes — because there’s no hiding them here!
