Skirts

There are several different hem lengths for skirts, and each one should fall to a different place on your leg. Depending on if you’re interested in a mini, midi, or maxi, you should aim for a different benchmark:

• Mini: This is the shortest skirt length and is often sheared ultra-short. Mini skirts fall to the middle of your thigh. We usually recommend finding mini skirts with built-in shorts or wearing a pair of biker shorts underneath to ensure you can enjoy all your daily activities without worrying about a fashion faux pas.
• Midi: With a mid-length skirt, you’re aiming for attire that’s slightly more formal. You’ll find that most pencil skirts and skater skirts will be this length. Your midi skirt should fall below the knee and reach your mid-calf.
• Maxi: For a maxi skirt, you’re going full length. Whether you’re wearing flats or heels, your maxi style should just brush the tops of your feet.

Because every person’s body is a little bit different, these hemlines are estimates of where a skirt of each length should fall on you. At Crescent, we provide measurements for each one of our skirts online to allow you to compare them to your own measurements and ensure you’re buying the right fit.

The answer to this question depends on the skirt style. As you browse our skirts for women online, you’ll see how we style each one. Check out the images for each piece that catches your eye and see where the waistband falls on the model.
