Skirt length: honest opinions, please

Thanks, Hetty. That is something I hadn't considered. No bulging veins but I might well have the spidery ones. OH will be asked to take some pics when he reappears.

I am just looking up Landsend because I think it looks great!

If you do have spidery veins then 1)few people will notice or care, 2) they can be covered with camouflage make up or minimised with fake tan or 3)ignored if they don’t bother you

You have nice legs. That skirt looks good to me. Go for it

Veins update:
OH has now returned and taken some pictures of the 'stern view'. I've studied them closely and happy to report there are definitely no nasty spidery veins. The skirt stays!

Thanks again to you all.

I think it looks lovely too - not too short at all.

P.S. I like what is behind your legs too on the seated one! Hello Lucy Katt

Tedber , I think that cat was Sarah Ferguson or a Kardashian in a previous life! She just has to be in any photograph, no matter what.

Lovely, and the skirt is nice too

I wear skirts rather than trousers and they're all about that length - so don't worry about it!
My lower legs are spindleshanks, but I can't do anything about it now.
In summer I wear ankle-length skirts in cool fabrics.

Glad you’re keeping it, the skirt’s the perfect length I think.

Who cares about veins?

Wear what makes you feel good and empowers you as a person.
If people has an issue with it, they don't have to look

Personally the skirt's not to my taste - I prefer longer and not straight. But then I hate being anything like conventional. It's the belated hippie in me....

However, it's certainly not too short when you're sitting down and standing up I think you could even get away with it being a little shorter - maybe mid-knee.

Not sure how tall you are, but I think longer skirts make shorter people look even shorter as they draw the attention downwards. With the skirt at knee length you have everything in the right proportion.

Glad you kept it. Maybe you could shorten your other skirts too!!!

I’d gladly swop legs with you - mine are sturdy so my skirts are maxi! Enjoy wearing that lovely skirt and all the compliments!

I agree with your husband. he knows best. follow his advice.
it looks just fine. definitely not too short. I wouldn't go any shorter though, but that's just my opinion. anyway irrelevant as this one is not too short.

Nothing wrong with your legs is quite a compliment!

It’s certainly not too short. If anything slightly too long in my opinion!

The skirt is absolutely fine. I wear skirts more than trousers and always choose knee length as I think they are more flattering than longer ones.

I tend to wear black opaque tights in winter which means slightly shorter skirts are ok.

I know why you queried it though as I have rejected otherwise lovely skirts simply because they were very slightly above the knee, which I would not feel comfortable with.

It looks fine.

You've got what my Granny would say are "a pair of neat pins" Scribbles! The skirt length is perfect. Wear it with pride and pleasure.

I hate seeing older women n short skirts but that looks absolutely fine to me. Enjoy wearing it ?

I like my skirts to be the length yours is as I liken my knees to a couple of steak and kidney puds stuck on legs that aren’t too bad a shape. Such a shame!!

If you've got it flaunt it !

Looks great

Of course it's not too short! I am 74 and have summer dresses that length (or shorter...) And your legs are really shapely. Show them off!
