The piece

How to choose and wear a mini skirt

A skirt that ends well above the knee. Balanced with a looser top, flat shoes or opaque tights, it is casual and easy to wear.

How to choose

  • A-line and straight shapes in denim, suede or wool are the most wearable.
  • A slightly longer mini (mid-thigh) works for more occasions.
  • Neutral colours pair with more tops.

Common mistakes

  • Short and tight on top as well as below: one fitted half is enough.
  • Very high heels that make it read evening-only.
  • Wearing it to offices with a formal dress code.

Care: Follow the fabric: denim cold wash, wool dry clean, suede brushed.

In a capsule: A casual capsule accent; the midi covers more occasions.
