Neither Mini Nor Maxi: This Is the Skirt Length That Will Be Popular This Spring.

      Until around spring 2025, I consistently wore miniskirts. Then, I transitioned to midi and maxi lengths, which felt more appropriate for navigating NYC's warm weather, transitioning from long walks to sitting in parks, and then heading to the train or a restaurant with air conditioning. In these scenarios, having bare legs seemed less practical. This past fall, I started leaning towards knee-length skirts. While I still appreciate skirts of varying lengths, this particular style is what I’m looking forward to for spring 2026.

      I already own the Reformation Layla Knee Length Skirt and a Cou Cou slip skirt, both of which I adore. At the top of my wish list are the Paloma Skirt by Guizio, the ’90s Bias Mini Skirt from Charlie Beads, and the Straight Skirt from Home of Hai and Brooke Callahan's capsule collection. Keep scrolling to shop these items and more, along with additional spring pieces.

      I wore this exact skirt throughout last spring and summer. The pointelle fabric is perfect for hot weather.
