Check out another '70s trend that's making a comeback this season.

One of the popular trends that's making a comeback this season are midi skirts. The versatile skirt was first seen in 1970, known as the "Year of the Midi." According to TIME Magazine, in June of 1970, Bonwit Teller, a high-end department store, noted that 95% of its fall collection would be midi-length. Who would have thought it would make a comeback in this year's fall fashion?

Designers bring a modern twist to midi skirts compared to the one in the '70s highlighting lady-like attributes like soft fabrics and flowy details.

A midi skirt is a good piece to have in your closet if you have a classic style. Find one that falls at the waist and cinch it with a belt to define your waist. You can match it with loose tops for a vintage look and shoes like flats, booties, oxfords, or pumps. Play with textures and prints to fit your personal style.

Check out these style bloggers who know how to rock midi skirts.

When mixing similar prints together, in this case leopard on leopard, make sure the 2 prints are of varying sizes and shapes. To balance it off, don't add to much color. Stick to the existing color palette. For accessories and shoes, wear something neutral so that they won't clash with the prints you're wearing.

I wore this outfit on a lunch date with my boyfriend. Got the skirt from a store in Singapore called Tsubaki that sells a lot of feminine and romantic pieces. I love how the skirt is kind of purposely wrinkled, which makes it more laid back and easy to wear. A few ideas on how to pull off a midi skirt without giving off  a lola vibe would be balancing it out with a sexy top like I did in this outfit or giving it an extra edge by pairing it with boots.

I've always been a fan of leopard and this kind of length so I was such a giddy girl when I found this skirt in Bangkok last April! Midi skirts are always great with heels! Midi skirts tend to cut your height. A pair of gorgeous heels is the solution for that.

You can play around with a printed top when you match it with pastel and plain midi skirts. Use statement necklaces to bring the whole look together. P770, both from Nava

Belts give an illusion of a smaller waist. Make your skirt fall just above your belly button for a high waist effect. P599.75, both from Shopaholic at SM Dept. Store

Go print-on-print with these patterned midi skirts. Make sure to find a printed top that's not too busy since there's a lot going on on your skirt already. P2695, Promod; photo from Topshop
