It also depends on how much skin is being shown on top too - has to balance out! I love the two shorter lengths on you. Maybe the longer in a different colour like a denim. I'm just not into beige!

I tend to only go as "mini" as maybe two inches above my knee. I don't love the length of the khaki skirt, but I wasn't sure why until I read Kelli's comment above... which I now realize is exactly it. I like that length sometimes for a pencil skirt, but not at all for a-line. Interesting post! I like it when I can suss out what I like and don't like and (maybe) even why!

Luckily, being tall affords me a lot of options with out distorting my shape.

I like to keep things to the knee if they're fitted, like a slinky pencil skirt. But if I'm wearing something that's loose, like a shift dress, I go pretty short, like mid-thigh, to balance the baggier silhouette.

So too short and I look like I'm auditioning for Hooters and too long and I look stumpy. <br /><br />I like right at the kneecap. Like RIGHT there. I made one midi skirt and it looks dowdy but I like it. I'll probably wear it in fall with bootsSewCraftyChemisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07971798108420431518noreply@blogger.com
