“I’ve never been thrilled about the return of the maxi skirt,” says Abby Hepworth, fashion editor at PureWow. Long skirts are falling out of favor amongst the fashion team this fall, and petite women might be pleased as the long hemlines often pose a problem and need for alterations. “I think midis are so much more flattering, and you can absolutely style them in all the same ways as a trendy maxi. If you’re really digging the look of a denim or white cotton maxi this fall, I highly recommend investing in a midi-length version instead. They’ll have a lot more staying power, so you’ll still have ways to wear them in 2025 (and beyond) rather than relegating them to your donate pile,” she adds. I, for one, adore a mini skirt coupled with towering knee-high boots in the fall, so feel free to explore various lengths to find one that suits you.
