If the runways are any indication (and we’re willing to bet they are), midi skirts are poised to dominate spring style. Throughout the 20th century, skirt lengths were said to signal the state of the economy: minis thrived in boom times, while hems hit the floor in bearish moments. In 2026, that logic feels less likely to apply—trends, both economic and sartorial, are far more complex. And anyway, you’re probably not turning to Vogue Shopping for an economics refresher (that’s what Vogue Business is for). Instead, consider this your cue to embrace the midi.
Vogue’s Favorite Midi Skirts
The appeal of the midi skirt is baked into the name. Its in-between length feels freer and more fun than a sober maxi, yet more refined than a flirtatious mini. For spring, heavy-hitting houses like Chanel, Bottega Veneta, Chloé, and Prada presented midis in a wide range of shapes, colors, and textures, from suggestive front-slit styles to embellished statement pieces and low-waist pleated styles—underscoring their versatility. They also pair seamlessly with many of the season’s other It items, like sporty anoraks and sneakerinas, and thong heels. In the edit below, shop all of our favorite midi skirts and the best ways to wear them.
