We love miniskirts for their playful spirit from flouncy cuts to sleek shapes. But sometimes, they can be tricky to style in a way that doesn't feel like a throwback to high school (how much did I love my cut-off style from Abercrombie & Fitch? The most.) or unsophisticated for certain occasions.
In warm weather, fail-safe combos range from simple t-shirts [1] with denim minis to coordinating top-and-skirt sets in a playful prints [2]. But when it comes to stepping it up a notch for moments like meetings, a party, or a meal out with friends, we can all use extra inspiration. And that's where the street style set comes in.
The most stylish industry insiders most certainly know how to style a short skirt for every situation whether it's for the office (which, yes, can totally be HR-approved when done right), a holiday [3], date night, and beyond.
