Make Mine A Mini: How To Look Great In A Miniskirt

If you’ve ever envied the super skinny girls waltzing around in a cute miniskirt and wished you could do the same, this article is for you. Many women who shop for pants or skirts in the upper single digits and into the teens wonder if the mini skirt is style best left to models and manikins. The truth is that most women can wear and look great in a mini skirt if they follow a few simple rules. Here are some great tips to help you look terrific in the sexy fashion trend.

Dress for the Occasion: Deciding why you’re wearing a miniskirt is a great place to start figuring out what to wear with it. Since miniskirts are so easy to dress up or down, you need to find clothes to match according to the occasion. For example, if you’re wearing a jean skirt and want to dress it up, wear a pair of platform heels to elongate the legs and dress the skirt up. If a casual night out is in store for you, try matching your mini with a pair of ballerina flats, or a pair of cute fashion sneakers.


Try some Leggings: If it’s a little chilly or you’re a bit self conscious about your legs, you may want to invest in a cute pair of legging to wear with your mini skirt. Leggings not only help at hiding some undesirable spots on your legs, but they also are quite in style right now. Because leggings come in various colors you can easily dress up or dress down any mini skirt outfit. If you want to be really daring, try a pair of fishnets on with your mini skirt. Be careful though, miniskirts can go from classy to trashy in the matter of second with the wrong accessories.

Stay away from Patterns: Often times patterned shirts or skirts can draw unwanted attention to particular parts of your body. To be on the safe side, it’s usually a good idea to stick with solids and save the flair and patterns for hair accessories and shoes. If you do decide to wear something patterned try to keep it simple and small.

Keep the Jewelry to a Minimum: Keeping jewelry to a minimum is a great way to keep your miniskirt looking classy. Choose a few key pieces from your collection that compliment your outfit. Your jewelry should compliment your outfit not the other way around. As a general rule, you probably shouldn’t wear more jewelry than clothing.

Keep it Balanced: As I mentioned before, miniskirts can quickly turn from classy to trashy. The key to looking good in a mini skirt is to keep the amount of flesh you show balanced. For example if your decide to wear a pair of leggings with your skirt, you can show a little more skin on the top half of your body by exposing a little bit of cleavage (keep in mind that a little goes a long way). On the opposite end of the spectrum, if your legs are going all natural, and your wearing pair of heals, you may find that a less revealing top is the right way to go.
