Like it or not, mini skirts are a trend this season. While Miu Miu’s belt-style micro iterations can be slightly (read: completely) terrifying for us mere mortals, they can actually be more wearable than the catwalk leads us all to believe. As a midi skirt fan, I’m surprised by how swayed I’ve been by the revival of the mini, and I haven’t stopped wearing them all summer. For me, though, I find it easier to wear with a baggier top half: a shirt, a fine knit if it’s cooler or an oversized blazer. When it comes to fit, I always size up with mini skirts to make sure they’re not super tight, or rise up too high (but of course this is down to preference.)
For late summer outfit inspiration, below I’ve found some of the best mini skirt looks that are easy to copy. From Abisola’s suit, to Sylvie’s minimalist take on the trend, keep scrolling for 6 ways to embrace the mini.
