any higher than mid-thigh isn' really functional in my eyes....tights or not

I'm not a huge fan of mini skirts, so I would never go shorter than mid-thigh. Most of my skirts are right around knee-length, maybe a tad shorter.

a couple inches above the knee, but no higher than that! my legs are on the thicker side, so I try not to jiggle too much...

Between mid-thigh and knee. I've got meaty legs. Anything shorter makes me look like I'm walking on drumsticks.

It depends on the skirt but I never wear mini-skirt that short as in the picture. I come from a family pretty strict and high class so they would never approve that.

I have a very long torso and very short legs. I can pull off the shortest skirts and still look decent. People always think they're gonna see something, and they never do. I've been told I have "skirt magic." On top though, I've gotta cover up or I look way too vavoom for daily wear.

it depends on the purpose of the skirt but if it's for play rather than work - mid thigh is good for me but if it's a work thing, then i'll wear a skirt to my knee usually.

Obviously it depends on where I'm going and the type of skirt, but in no event would I wear anything as short as what the model in the picture is wearing. My booty is a little too big for that. Mid-thigh I guess.

Totally depends on the context! My skirt suits never go (much) higher than the knee, but if I'm going out somewhere fun I might wear a little bit shorter skirt...usually with tights, though, unless it's a summer BBQ or something either very casual or very glammed up.

Short legs and pear-shaped so I don't like to go too high or low from the knees. I might go a little higher if h'm wearing a dark skirt and dark tights but still nowhere near mid-thigh.
