We've had the mini skirt and the maxi dress now it's the season of the 'midi'.

This autumn hemlines are slipping below the knee as everything from skirt to dresses to shorts show off beautiful calves and sexy heels.

Perfectly inkeeping with this seasons hourglass silhouette, Dolce and Gabanna and Chloe showed how a midi length pencil skirt creates womanly hips at Paris Haute Couture Week.

Sienna Miller combined this with the universal rule of the little black dress during her arrival at 'The Late Show with David Letterman' last week. She teamed a plain but sleek black midi dress with a pair of high sandals with an ankle strap to highlight feminine ankles.

Low heels should be avoided when wearing a midi length as they can make legs look short and stumpy. Stilettoes and platform heels are best for finishing off the perfect sexy all-woman outfit.

Wearing a midi skirt with a high neck blouse and a chunky belt is a great way to pull off the hourglass silhouette which will be making it's way from catwalk to high street this seasonn.

Miss Selfridge has been quick of the mark with a great desert print midi skirt in a funky mosaic design for just £28 and Warehouse is stocking a versatile black tweed pencil skirt for £40.

So get those ankles out in the sun and be prepared for the invasion of the midi.
