How can I determine what hemline is best for me?

“at the knee“

Hemlines go up and down. The length of your hemline should be determined by your height, what figure type you have and the occasion for which you are wearing the outfit rather than your age or trends.

 
 
Most women find “at the knee” the most flattering hem length. At the knee means a little above the knee, at mid knee or a little below the knee. The best way to decide on a hem length is to try different lengths on and look in a mirror. In general mini or micro mini skirts are not very flattering if you are over 25. Short women should avoid midi length skirts. The taller you are the longer your hem can be and still look flattering, try a mid calf length. Accentuate the positive. Knees can be ugly and you do not want them to be exposed.
