It’s officially fall, but don’t put your mini skirts in hibernation just yet. Believe it or not, this is the best season to rock the trend, because you can still show a little leg without showing too much skin. Here are our top 3 ways to wear mini skirts throughout autumn.
High-Waisted
Pencil skirts are classic, and this season’s high-rise silhouettes are more flattering and curve-enhancing than ever. This style of mini works perfectly with a long-sleeved crop top. Just be sure to only allow for a sliver of “rib-drift.” As with most high-waisted bottoms, heels are vital to elongating the look. Ankle booties pair well with this ensemble. And top off the look with a tailored blazer to keep it classy.
Knee-Highs
Gams don’t look good when they’re covered in goose bumps. On particularly chilly evenings, wear a flared mini with knee- or thigh-high boots to look stylish, while staying warm. Heels not required! A-line skirts cinch at the waist, creating a flirty silhouette. But while printed patterns look feminine in the summer months, fall calls for textured fabrics such as corduroy or suede.
Oversized Top
This season, leather has been elevated from tough to polished, but to soften up a leather mini even more, throw on an oversized sweater and accessorize with a few long necklaces. You’ll look at once cozy and chic. When worn to the office, opt instead for a chunky cardigan, with a silk blouse tucked in underneath. What’s also great about wearing mini skirts in the fall is that you can slip on opaque tights to conceal any imperfections. Flats, from skimmers to brogues, finish off this look.
Gather the right tops and accessories, and you’ll make the most of your minis this season.
