Victoria Beckham wears one of her self-designed mid-length dresses
We love a new fashion trend, and if style icon Victoria Beckham is on board, then we most definitely are too.
Long, midi length dresses have overtaken their mini counterparts as the must-have shape to shake on the dancefloor this Christmas party season, according to Debenhams.
Fewer women are opting for thigh-revealing dresses than ever before, as the trend towards longer styles is catching on. Sales of some midi styles are up as much as 168% versus this time last year, as women start the search for the perfect Christmas party dress.
Bosses at the high street retailer predict that hemlines are set to fall further still, with celebrities such as Victoria Beckham and Katie Holmes jumping on the bandwagon for styles that finish between the calf and ankle.
Even celebs such as Katie Price and the cast of TOWIE, who once were determined to wear mini skirts and dresses in sub zero temperatures, have noticed this trend and dropped their hemlines.
Michelle Dowdall, Debenhams spokeswoman, said: “We are entering an age of cover up. Hemlines are plunging to below the knee as women go for a classier look inspired by TV shows such as Mad Men.
“British women are dressing for austerity, and that means skirts have become deadly serious, as women have a midi-moment."
Here we've picked out our favourite Midi dresses from Debenhams. Buy them quick whilst they have their 25% off offer on.
