9 Best Mini Skirts And How To Style Them In 2022

The mini skirt has had a major glow up.

Us millennials have grown up but thanks to the return of Y2K trends we just keep being reminded of the simpler times where we used Impulse as deodorant. Along with mini shoulder bags, baby tees and butterfly clips, another wardrobe icon which got us through our school disco is making a come-back: everyone, please put your hands together for the mini skirt.

We know some of you might dread the return of short skirts and we don’t blame you, but the good news is that the mini skirt has evolved with us; she’s not the same girl we knew in high school. Now, we see this iconic bottom being paired with tops like button-up shirts and boyfriend blazers to give it a more sophisticated, grown-up look. And even better, they don’t have to be as teeny-tiny as the viral Miu Miu SS22 micro mini to make a strong statement either.

Shop the look

Want to make the mini skirt part of your winter wardrobe? While our younger selves would’ve opted for leggings and Ugg boots underneath, adult-us is elevating short skirts with stockings and a pair of loafers. We also love the look of socks or knee-high boots if you’re not one for stockings. Since we’re talking all things 2000s, channel your inner Blair Waldorf by topping this look off with a collared shirt and knit vest.

For the ultimate modern take on mini skirts, don’t forget to add your favourite blazer. We all know blazers mean business and there is no exception here. The blazer helps us take the playful mini skirt more seriously, so that it’s less Xtina Dirrty and more trending fashion influencer. Heeled sandals work perfectly to complete this look and help give your legs length (watch out Kendall Jenner).
