If the runways are any indication (and we’re willing to bet they are), midi skirts are going to dominate spring style. Throughout the 20th century, skirt length was considered a signal of economic conditions: miniskirts were popular during good times, while hemlines fell to the floor during recessions. By 2026, this logic feels unlikely to hold true—economic and apparel trends are much more complex. You probably wouldn’t turn to Vogue Shopping to brush up on economics anyway (that’s what Vogue Business is for). Instead, consider this a cue to embrace midi.

The charm of the midi skirt is built into its name. Its mid-length feels freer and more playful than a plain maxi, yet more sophisticated than a sexy mini. For spring, popular brands like Chanel, Bottega Veneta, Chloé and Prada are launching midi skirts in a variety of shapes, colors and textures, from flirty front slits to embellished statement pieces and low-rise ruched styles that highlight their versatility. They also pair well with many other pieces this season, such as sporty jackets, sneakers and thong heels. Shop all of our favorite midi skirts and the best ways to wear them in the edit below.
