Not if you're Elle Macpherson and Heidi Klum, who revealed she shortens all her skirts.

Cheap & Chic: Flashy Pink Mini

FabSugar — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 03:00:22 -0700

I've long loved the combination of black and pink, so when I saw Taylor Momsen at the Topshop US opening party, my eyes widened. Let's recognize that if it weren't for her hot pink tiered miniskirt, her look wouldn't be as captivating. It lends femininity to her tough leather motorcycle jacket but maintains the spunky vibe. Hot pink lipstick adds further kick. Get in on the flashy pink fun with your very own miniskirt.

Fab Tip: Turn Your Tube Into a Mini

It's safe to say most of you loved Anja Rubik's saucy look in the Giuseppe Zanotti Spring '09 ads. A few even wanted to wear her sequin miniskirt. More power to you. There are plenty of sequin skirts on the market but few are as body-hugging, colorful, and playful. Know what I mean? Follow my lead to find out how to get Anja's sequin miniskirt look . . .

To find out how to get Anja's look, read more.

Have any of you worn a tube top as a skirt? I have. It's possible but there are vital stipulations. First, make sure the tube top - like one of these eDressMe Sequined Tops ($45) - isn't cropped because, well, it won't cover your booty. For more coverage, you can pair your tube over a longer mini.

Second, don't try pulling this tube-as-skirt thing in broad daylight. It's a nighttime look that should be reserved for clubbing or dancing. And obviously, you can use this technique for non-sequin tube tops as well. Just make sure to pair it with a demure blouse or tee like Anja, or you'll end up looking trashy. You can also pair with an off-shoulder sweater for a sexier look or a blazer for a menswear vibe. Let your imagination run wild.

Trend Alert: Mini Minis

Raise your hand if you think Gwyneth's sequin Proenza Schouler tee is too short on the July cover of Bazaar? Considering it is a t-shirt, and not a dress, or a tunic, I think it's a wee short. (Do I see a shadow of cheek?) But Gwyneth's legs are flawless, as she flaunted on her Iron Man tour, so she can get away with it. But can you? A few words of advice: If you dare to don a mini mini wear simple nude or black boyshort underwear - I swear by these - make sure you are bikini waxed and beware of wind!

Style for Style: How To Wear...Mini Skirts

FabSugar — Fri, 08 Jun 2007 09:01:33 -0700

We girls need to be careful when it comes to wearing mini skirts. Actually, in general we need to be careful when wearing any item of clothing that reveals a large part of our body. I cringe when I see girls wearing mini skirts wrong; a mini can be classy when worn correctly. Here are some tips to look cool in a mini:

Rule of thumb: keep it sleek by counteracting its inherent sexiness with some not quite as sexy items
On top, choose something more tame than a skintight tank or revealing blouse - wear a frilly blouse or a loose cami with a cool blazer.
Footwear should be minimal. I love minis with flats but if you need some height keep the heels chunky, as seen here at Derek Lam's Spring/Summer collection.
As for Fall footwear, same rule applies, and whether you wear a mini with tights or not, a flat knee boot or wedge boots are the perfect accompaniment.

Trend Alert: The New Mini Skirts

I am sure you all have a classic blue denim mini skirt in your closet; I think it qualifies as a wardrobe staple. But after being struck by white lightening and the resurgence of bright denim it's not surprising this warm weather skirt has taken on new forms. The new mini skirts are still fun and flirty but are freshly updated; I'm thinking a white one would be too cool for school.

GAP Pinstriped denim mini skirt, $50.
Citizens of Humanity Electric Guitar Mini Skirt, $132.
James Jeans - Dry Aged Denim Mini Skirt, $137.

Get Your Butt in Gear: prAna Sugar Mini Skirt

FitSugar — Fri, 16 Mar 2007 12:17:27 -0700

When I go for a run or hike, nothing bothers me more than my shorts riding up into my lady business. I'm constantly having to pull fabric out of places it shouldn't be in the first place, and it's more than annoying - it's quite uncomfortable too.

Check out the Sugar Mini Skirt from prAna. Could the name be any more perfect? I want to get one for all the Sugar gals.

It's got an elastic waistband and built in spandex shorts, so they'll stay put when you run. Plus, I know I don't feel comfortable running out in public in shorty shorts or tight spandex, so the skirt part will cover your booty, but will be short enough (they've got a 3 inch inseam) so you can run freely.

They are made out of New Viana® performance fabric like many of their other prAna products. This material is awesome because you can wash it over and over again, and it looks just like the day you bought it every time. So your black skirt will stay black, and it won't pill or change shape.

The Sugar Mini Skirt fits at the hips then flares out at the bottom. It's 12 1/2 inches long and comes in black, banana, and seafoam. If you want a running skirt in other colors, then check out the SkirtSport.

Fit's Tips: You can order one from prAna directly for $45, or you can check out the fitness and gear stores around you. Many of them carry prAna products.
