Go on. Take these frivolous swishy mid-length skirts for a spin.
A printed mid-length skirt to swish about in offers up a sense of fun and whimsy that's appealing on sunny days. Although relaxed print pyjama and palazzo-style pants continue to be popular, a printed mid-length skirt with generous volume works in various situations for all shapes and sizes.
What's alsoappealing this time of the year are clothes that provide plenty of breathing space, and a voluminous mid-length skirt does the trick, worn with either a soft organic T-shirt and sandals for the weekend, or layered over a languid silk blouse and heels for an easy back-to-work look.

For the latter, graphic geometric prints work well with the clean lines of a slick summer blazer; alternatively, you can't look past summer's preference for prints inspired by the flora and fauna of the tropics. Worn with smart sandals and a crisp white shirt, it's effortless summer workwear done right.
