It's no secret that fashion has made a real return to basics, restyling the classics of the women's wardrobe by giving them a new lease of life. And if there is one trend that particularly interests the Parisian house ICONE, it is that of the mid-length skirt .
With a length that generally stops between the knee and the calf, it represents a perfect compromise between the short skirt and the long skirt. A true fashion staple, its origin dates back to the 1920s when women looked for an alternative to the long and voluminous skirts of the Victorian era.
Over the years and trends, the mid-length skirt has become an iconic symbol of the fashion world. Offering both comfort and style, the mid-length skirt has quickly become an essential piece for all modern women. Adored by the greatest designers, it continues to produce the same effect. Just as feminine as it is mischievous, it is ideal for displaying a refined look while feigning innocence. Marc Jacobs, Hermès, Chanel… The biggest names in fashion are snapping up this deliciously retro outfit.
ICONE celebrates the natural woman… And in this, the mid-length skirt perfectly embodies the brand’s philosophy. Practical, refined, easy to wear every day… This piece literally has everything to please.
On the catwalks all over the world, from Milan to Paris and even in the ICONE collections, this ultra-desirable model comes in different volumes and materials. Enter the vintage and elegant world of the mid-length skirt.
The mid-length skirt: a resolutely contemporary look with a deliciously old-fashioned charm
With the trend being minimalist and vintage fashion, the ICONE mid-length skirt continues to win new votes. Ideal for enhancing all silhouettes, it is the perfect central piece for successful mix & matches.
The return of the mid-length skirt
Although mid-length skirts have long suffered from a somewhat old-fashioned image, in just a few years they have managed to rise to the podium of timeless and essential pieces in the female wardrobe.
By highlighting skirts with more subtle lengths, the fashion world is making a notable and appreciated foray into a more natural and definitely more elegant femininity.
Between long skirts and mid-length skirts , the difference is subtle and only lies in one crucial point: the cut.
With its flattering length that falls below the knees, the mid-length skirt does not restrict women in their everyday movements. Neither short nor long, it offers us reminiscences of the silhouettes of retro fashion magazines... Except that the conception of women as well as the place they occupy in society has changed considerably.
Today more than ever, it is free, confident and resolutely modern women who are taking hold of the mid-length skirt .
Guided by this deep desire to celebrate women in all their universality, ICONE enjoys deconstructing the traditional codes of French couture to offer emblematic pieces of contemporary women's fashion. The brand stands out for its strong, conceptual and trendy creations. And the mid-length skirt is no exception to the rule.
The ICONE mid-length skirt is always a good idea!
All ICONE collections are imagined, designed, prototyped by women and for women… For you.
Every finish, every detail, the fabrics, the cuts... Everything is carefully examined so that each of our mid-length skirts adapts not only to new trends, but also and above all to your needs and requests.
While some mid-length skirts stop below the knee, the majority of them are cut at mid-calf. This is also the case for our latest mid-length skirt which perfectly embodies the ICONE philosophy. The tight skirt gracefully highlights the curves of the silhouette while the flared bottom aligns with the brand's desire to free women from all constraints.
The minimalist and no less sophisticated lines of this model are intended to resonate in the hearts of all women.
The ICONE midi skirt embodies the essence of a good wardrobe basic. No matter what look you're going for, it's always a smart choice. Its sleek cut and understated, elegant hue mean you can pair it with all or most of your tops and shoes.

Say “Yes” to sustainable and responsible midi skirts
At the origin of ICONE, there is an awareness of the environmental and human impact of the fashion industry. From this, the creator of the brand asked herself: how to offer sustainable and contemporary pieces, qualitative and responsible? It is with a solid ethical commitment that the Parisian house offers, season after season, new eco-responsible alternatives that combine quality, durability and respect for our planet.
Particular importance given to the material
Carefully selected, all materials are sourced with the aim of meeting criteria of durability, creativity and quality.
Always in a quest for effortless and comfortable pieces, the brand only works with materials that are soft and light on the skin. Thus, by wearing an ICONE mid-length skirt , you will have the pleasant sensation of a veil on the skin, a second skin effect that you will no longer be able to do without.
Our latest mid-length skirt comes in a velvet-effect cupro. This eco-friendly alternative to silk comes in the form of a recycled and biodegradable fiber! In addition to its silky feel and the lightness of its fibers, cupro fits perfectly into the hectic daily life of a modern woman because it is easy to care for.
Our mid-length skirts are, for the majority of them, lined in organic cotton to ensure maximum comfort and durability of the model.
The stylistic purity of ICONE pieces allows you to wear them season after season. Indeed, these premium basics do not lose their shine or their shape as time goes by. Always on trend, they are very easy to accessorize and combine. Their carefully selected materials allow them to last through the years.
In this responsible approach and to ensure ever more demanding quality control, a dedicated team is entirely devoted to the search for new materials that are ever more qualitative and responsible.
The brand's commitments don't stop there. Finally, by choosing to dress in ICONE, you are directly campaigning alongside us and in favor of ethical and sustainable fashion, for consumption that respects our planet and the people who inhabit it.
