Hitting mid-leg
Calf-length describes clothing—typically skirts, dresses, or boots—that extends to the middle of the lower leg, roughly halfway between knee and ankle: a calf-length coat, calf-length boots.
The term specifies a particular hemline or height, distinguishing from knee-length or ankle-length alternatives.
