Hopefully, retail is catching up with the catwalks, that have been showcasing midi lengths for years.

Yippee. Been there, done that on short skirts. I’m in the mood for longer, and midi is a lot easier to wear than long for me. I like the white stripe one.

Ok, now I’m excited! Longer hemlines look fresh and modern to my eye.

Nice! I hope we see more midi skirts with asymmetric hems this spring. They are really easy for me to wear.

Being 5'4" helps me attain length, but yay for items with intentional length!

Yay! I might finally get that dress I have been looking for for 2 years.

And Smittie, I have seen the midi skirts with asymmetric hems (and maybe got a couple, he he). They are out there!

@jlpp don't let that stop you! Most women here (in Hong Kong) are under 5ft4 (I'm on the somewhat tall side of average for being 5ft3.5, lol!), but I still see them rocking midi length skirts & culottes with panache. I think the trick is to show a little skin elsewhere (like the ankles/ wrists/ forearms/ décolletage/ low vamp footwear) to balance out the look. The pointed toe flats that @RunCarla pointed out can help too, but I've even seen girls here combine it with trainers & an urban jacket & still look cool! The key is in the details (like pushing up the sleeves of your leather or denim jacket).

Anyway, I'm excited for this trend! Might go for just below the knee styles, though.

Oh yes, please! So tired of trying to find dresses that even reach my knees. Especially casual dresses! Bring it!

I share your hope. Retail actually improved in 2017, but I hope to see many more midi skirts and dresses in 2018.

It may turn out to be a bigger purchasing year for me than I originally anticipated! Longer length dresses are so hard to find so I buy them when I find them!

Sweet!

I like skirts clearly above or well below the knees. Short can be tricky for any kind of professional activity, at the knees does not work with my x-shaped legs, so midi is great for me!

Now about those necklines....

Oooh!! That's great. And I love the asymmetry. Is this all Topshop?

SUZ—My guesses: one of them is Veronica Beard (the patchwork one), and one of them is Rebecca Minkoff (the dark blue stripe).

(I have been browsing a lot online over Christmas :-))

Or they are knockoffs which would be great!

Oy. I fear the points of those asymmetric hems are going to touch the floor on me! Hopefully some of them will be available in petites because they are lovely!

Oh, yes, they are lovely, but I am with Ms Mary about asymmetric hems, only in petites as I am 5ft 3.

Ladies, you make me laugh.

Petites, I am SURE there will be plenty of shorter around for you.

Suz, Smittie is right about the designer line-up - plus some Tibi.

Zaeobi, HK street style is FIERCE, and incomparable.

Love, love the look of midi's. I still hope to find one that is flattering and does not over accentuate my hips in a non-flattering way. I like the stripes and asymmetrical hem or may try petites for the (slightly) shorter length. How exciting!!
