Maxi Skirts

As I learned from TikTok late last year, there's a style called "Teacher Chic," and it's anchored by Maxi skirts. It makes sense, too -- Mini skirts are too short and cute, are too casual and do not convey authority. Midi skirts still show too much leg/calf and shoes are in full view so they need to be cute (but not sexy, avoid sexy), and they feel too much like a cocktail hour. The Maxi skirt is perfect: dressy enough to be professional but not like a job interview; shows little to no leg; can hide/obscure sensible shoes that aren't cute or sexy but oh-so-comfy; practically pants but also NOT PANTS; and conveys authority because the skirt is looooong. But no skirt slits (too sexy).
