Legs, it’s been quite a while since we’ve seen you. Our uniform for the last few months may have consisted of jeans , trousers, leggings, or even maxi skirts perfect for transitional dressing, but summer is here, and covered-up hemlines are about to be shaken up. We’re swapping our cold-weather staples for some leg-bearing treasures, and the mini skirt is the perfect place to start.
While some mini skirt styles are for the bold (think: low-rise micro mini skirts), there are many universally wearable and flattering styles, including a-line or wrap cuts and denim or cargo constructions. Plus, there are plenty of options appropriate for the office , late-night dinners, beach days, and more. You won’t even have to abandon your miniskirt if you need to take a hot girl walk or play a game of tennis, thanks to the return of the activewear-friendly mini skort . The best miniskirts also have more year-round appeal than meets the eye. Once fall hits, you can pair them with tights and a trench coat for a street-style-ready look .
So now that we’ve convinced you of its styling prowess and versatility, click on to see some of the best mini skirts (and skorts) — and to scoop them up before summer is in full swing.
