A mini ends above the knee, a midi ends between the knee and the ankle, usually at mid-calf, and a maxi reaches the ankle or the floor. Choose a maxi for weddings, formal nights and the races, a mini for parties and cocktail evenings, and a midi when you want something in between.
What is the difference between midi and maxi?
Length. A midi stops between the knee and the ankle; a maxi goes to the ankle or the floor. A maxi reads more formal, a midi more daytime.
Which length for a wedding?
A maxi for an evening, formal or black tie wedding; a midi or maxi for a daytime garden wedding.
Which length for the races?
Any length, as long as the shape holds all day. Full length for a polished look, a mini for Derby Day or the after-party.
Which length for a party or a birthday?
A mini. It moves with you on the dance floor and works with heels or flats.
