As a fashion editor, I will give most trends and key seasonal pieces a go, but as I am only 5'2, there are certain items that I tend to steer clear of, as I worry that they will work against my shorter frame rather than flatter it. One of those items is the maxi skirt – it’s a look that I love on other people, but I've always imagined they'll swamp me; apparently, despite my expertise, I was wrong on this one.
I was browsing the new-in section from TU Clothing recently, and spotted the Khaki Techno Midaxi Skirt, which suddenly made me want to rethink my 'petite girl problems'. The design features a very fuss-free and straightforward A-line shape that fits at the waist with an elasticated tie, and it looked a little more wearable than some of the busier printed and tiered, boho maxis that I'd seen elsewhere. The fabric looked crisp and breezy, and I could see the soft khaki colour working with a multitude of tops in my closet, so I decided to go for it and try a long skirt outfit after all these years.
