The desire to exude femininity by wearing an elegant H-line pencil skirt is like a chimney, but somehow, I can't bring myself to do it.
A skirt that comes down to below the knee or mid-calf length is undoubtedly feminine and sophisticated, but it's not something I find easy to wear.
The reason is that if, like model Kim Nayoung, you have long and slender legs, there's no need to hesitate. However, if your body shape is not like that, the moderate length of the midi skirt can make your legs look even shorter, creating an unharmonious look.
At times like this, there are a few points to remember for making your legs look longer. Let's examine Kim Nayoung's desirable midi skirt styling for some simple tips.
Kim Nayoung matched a bright red color sweater with a low-saturation reddish-brown midi skirt, and she also chose socks in matching tones. The overall flow and connected color tone of the look have the effect of making her look slender. Although she chose similar colors, she presented a non-monotonous look by differentiating saturation and texture.
She styled it with sporty Nike sneakers, and, in fact, a pencil skirt and sneakers are an excellent combination. When the weather gets cold like today, balancing the elegance with the sportiness of sneakers and throwing on an elegant jacket completes a perfect outfit.
If you've chosen a midi skirt, I recommend a top that fits your body. A fitted top can accentuate relatively slim parts of the body, creating the effect of looking slim. If an oversized or medium-length top doesn't work, tucking it into the skirt or, if that's difficult, tucking in only the front is also a good option.
The choice of shoes is also crucial. If you're wearing stockings or socks, it's a good idea to choose shoes in the same tone. When choosing shoes like dress shoes or flat shoes, opt for a design that reveals the top of the foot, as this can make the legs look a bit longer. If you're on the shorter side, it's better to choose heels or boots with heels rather than flat shoes.
The weather is getting chilly, and now is the time for midi skirts that give a warm feeling rather than short skirts. Don't worry if you're not confident in showing off your bare legs. The season is approaching when we can freely wear boots.
