THE MINI IS THE MOMENT

ICYMI, the mini skirt renaissance is well and truly underway. Cases in point: the SS22 runways, all those recent getups from major style icons incl. Bella Hadid, Paloma Elsesser and RiRi – did we mention *that* magazine cover from Nicole Kidman? To get in on the lewk, check out some of our fave mini moments below, including styling tips and the hottest minis on ASOS rn.

Skirt or belt? That’s EXACTLY what Miu Miu had people wondering when this grey mini sauntered down the catwalks last September. Fast forward five months, and the fashion world can't get enough of the ensemble. It even has its own Instagram account, @miumiuset. And as for that LaQuan Smith number... The blue suede, the lace-up side, the teeny-tiny silhouette. We're in love 😍

Just like Paris Hilton says in our fave TikTok sound: ‘skirts should be the size of a belt. Life’s short, take risks’ 🎤 Look for a pleated number with a slightly deconstructed vibe (like this Topshop pick), layer your fave undies underneath and pull that waistband right up. Trust us on this one, that’s THE look right now.

We’re always looking for ways to wear a mini in the winter without turning into this > 🥶 right? Take notes from these ladies above. One: a long fur coat equals glamour and practicality in equal measure – the perf pick to accompany your mini. You could even throw in some tights for added heat. Two: a mini with knee-high boots is a winning combo for chillier temps.
