Midi ground.

It’s time to get dignified ladies! Skirt hems are falling, pass the thigh, creeping below the knee, further down the shin, yep keeping going, further… there it is-the midi has returned!

Straight and tight or high-waisted and A-line, the midi length has come back with a vengeance after slutty Sandy discarded hers for a pair of spray-on leather trews. But this look has come a long way since mumsy, middle age suburbia. Now the likes of Miu Miu, Vivienne Westwood, Moschino Cheap & Chic and Louis Vuitton are showcasing the 50’s throwback with SS13 being the season of the middle ground. Even Rihanna has started to cover up her best assets (on occasion) by using the white Gucci number as her choice of disguise. Wear with strappy heels, a crisp tied shirt and your best abs- just because the skirt has gone low, doesn't mean the top has to. Keep hair in a top knot, the clutch boxy and the lips bright- and remember from now on; no-one puts midi in the corner.

Pretty Woman: Thigh high boots - a firm fave amongst sluts?

And before anyone even goes there i'm not talking about the visual car crash that were waders. I still standby the view that they were a sick joke Prada took too far. I'm in fact talking about the lady of the night inspired thigh high boot. They might not be entirely en vogue right now what with the whole man repeller movement currently in full swing, unfortunately wearing a pair of these beauties will probably make you seem more attractive to the opposite sex...

I tend to find that this particular style of boot is a firm favourite of the sort of girl who's partial to playboy underwear and foam nights at Oceana. But why does it have to be this way?! I'd like to see more hipsters ditching their Creepers in favour of the thigh high. However, unless you're Karlie Kloss or Tamara Mellon's your bestie, pulling off such a badly connotated boot can be a complicated undertaking. I came to this conclusion today when I purchased a pair. The second I got home on they went and everything from my toes to just above my knee caps looked (in my mind) like pure £45 pound in the sale sex. However I soon realised that if I was ever to wear them out in public i'd have to team them with something other than my pajamas - they'd been sufficient for prancing about in my bedroom/pretending to be Rihanna, but definitely not a strong look for the real world. I looked to 3 of the most stylish women in the world for inspiration...

All hail the following:

Carine Roitfeld

Emmanuelle Alt

Anna Dello Russo

Ri Ri's gone all This Is England

We don't want to talk about the song, it's irrelevant. We're even willing to look past the off key midlands accent in the intro and the poor mans Shane meadows vibe, all because Ri Ri is the ONE.
