The Essentials: 8 Voluminous Knee-Length Skirts

Bring a little vintage nostalgia with you to the workplace in an ultra feminine mid-length full skirt. Also known as a swing skirt, this super flattering silhouette (and epitome of ladylike chic) has already found its way onto street style darlings such as Viviana Volpicella and Natalie Joos. Its modest length, often at the knee or just a few inches past, sets a demure tone for the office, but the abundance of prints and fabrications is where you can really let your personality shine through.

Want to make like Parisienne bad-gal editrixes such as Emmanuelle Alt? Tuck a black silk tee into a slick black leather swing skirt with sharp power pumps. For something a little more Susie Bubble, pair a boldly striped button-down with a vibrantly floral full skirt —and don't skimp on the jewellery.
