The midi skirt also looks great with a ladylike blouse; we suggest something in chiffon to keep it the right side of prim

This look works best when it is equal parts librarian and vamp. So match this tweed check with an altogether more foxy top half - black lace, perhaps - and you will really be channelling the Louis Vuitton spirit

Great claret-coloured midi from Warehouse. We suggest pairing it with a black leather singlet from Urban Outfitters, a black cashmere cardigan and, of course, leg-lengthening heels

We love this Betty Draperesque full skirt from M&S. It hit stores last week so we hope there are still a few hanging around. It will work well with black wool tights and LK Bennett patent heels

This skirt will suit those wanting to create hips rather than those lucky enough to be curvaceous already; fuller hips suit fitted pencil skirts best
