Designer Mirela Rupic on Midi Skirts

If you're petite, it does not mean you can’t wear trendy midi skirts. Other than being active as a costume designer for some well-known cinema hits, costume designer Mirela Rupic has been in the movie industry for over two decades, and as she reveals the only secret is to combine them intelligently, and here she brings you advice on how to achieve this.

Midi skirts are a big hit for several seasons in a row, and regardless whether it is wide, narrow, plaid or thigh-high model skirt, it is no wonder that so many girls like to push the limits of conventions by wearing them. Retro models or the so-called A-line skirts, as well as those that go in a full circle, are required when designing a wardrobe for a classic movie. For such projects Mirela Rupic asks actresses to wear them with tight tops, and more importantly, with flat shoes. High heels already allow something more comfortable for the upper part. These models come in high waist or wide belt, so shorter girls or girls whose waistline is not well defined have nothing to be worried about when it comes to this trend.

In case you decide for a shorter, so called pencil skirt, as Rupic points out, the choice of shoes is not limited. Besides that, pencil skirts work well for both short and tall girls, provided that they have no excessive weight. If you go for a tighter upper part, by that you visually narrow the waist, so a belt or a crop top will work perfectly.

As an established costume designer, Mirela Rupic believes that midi skirts are the perfect ladylike addition to every woman’s closet. The standout silhouette and its styling options immediately draw our attention, as you could wear one over a longer dress, or tuck a graphic tee into the waistline. When it comes down to rocking a midi skirt, these guidelines provided by costume designer Rupic are all that you need to follow. You can also learn how to choose the right accessories, master proportions, and most importantly find the right silhouette for your body type. Whatever you do make sure your look is well balanced, that you have the right proportions, and a good pair of shoes that completes the entire outfit.
