7 Ways to Wear a Miniskirt, Because They're More Versatile Than You Thought
Perhaps it's the recent resurgence of the style of the early-aughts, but this season, one of our favorite day-to-night trends has returned: the miniskirt. While we still love our flowing midis to the moon and back, we're showing off our legs a little more and stocking that warm-weather wardrobe with the more skin-baring sister of the lot. Excited as we are, we've already dreamed up countless ways to wear this newly discovered old favorite.
Whether you're sporty chic, a denim-lover, or more bohemian at heart, check out these seven ways to style all your new miniskirts this Spring and Summer, and shop the best ones out there right now.
The Edgy at Heart
Sometimes the most edgy of looks carry with them a little feminine flair, like this one that we're styling by mixing brightly colored scalloped miniskirts and next-level Mary Janes with our favorite go-to leather jacket. Tie it all together with a bodysuit to prevent any unwanted bunching, untucking, or the like.

The Summertime Uniform
This layered silk miniskirt is about to become a mainstay in our official going-out uniform until Winter comes calling again. We're keeping it simple with a pair of masculine brogues and an understated white t-shirt bodysuit. For a little extra flair, consider adding a headband or bright red bow to your look.

The Summer Baby
For many of us, once the sun comes out, there's no stopping our summertime wardrobe. We love bright colors, like this tailored suiting miniskirt, mixing in everything from crochet camis to ankle-laced sandals. And, of course, we can't forget those favorite star-studded earrings we're going to be wearing all season long, day and night.

The Streamlined Boho
Grab your favorite bohemian-inspired eyelet mini, and pair it with equally casual leather sandals and tortoise hoops. For a little added elegance, consider styling the look with a classic silk cami.

The Whimsical Fashionista
For those who love a statement moment, consider a printed miniskirt that looks one-of-a-kind. Keep it classic with a black top (with head-turning puffed sleeves, of course!), but have a bit of fun with scalloped heels and Lucite hoop earrings in a bright color.

The Sporty Dresser
Just because you're reaching for a miniskirt instead of track pants doesn't mean you can't rock your athletic style. Seek out a colorblock nylon miniskirt, and style it with a graphic tee, classic sneakers, and fun-loving shades.

Gap Slip-On Sneakers ($50)
The Youthful Prep
When you are preppy at heart but still want to let that youthful side show through, consider a vintage-inspired denim mini. We love to pair ours with a boxy eyelet top and backless loafers, adding a bag inspired by the best of the best from our grandmother's closet.
