Best Mini Skirt trends to rock semi-formal looks all year round
COVER STORY / 2021-08-04
Buds are blooming and we can feel the Sun a little more. What this means is – Summer 2021 has finally arrived. This means airer fabrics and free-flowing silhouettes will be fashion's mark in the upcoming days. An ethereal cotton sun-dress is a great standby, but don't sleep on the versatility of summer skirts. Like dresses, their comfort also reigns supreme. Whether you prefer a shape-framing silhouette or a bohemian interpretation, both will provide relief from cumbersome jeans and heat-trapping leggings.
The mini skirt is a popular 1960’s trend that experienced a resurgence in the 90s and early 2000s. Good for us, in 2021, the trend is back again. We’d all love to welcome any opportunity to break out of our sweatpants and slip into something refreshingly different right now, won’t we? – especially as we move into a warmer season ahead. Luckily, the spring-summer 2021 collections brought a lot of cool fashion trends to try this year, including some exciting mini skirt trends.
PLEATED SKIRT
A pleated skirt is the “It” item to have right now and it is predicted to keep going strong next year as well. All this sounds like pleated mini skirts are worthwhile investments for your summer wardrobe. Add in fun pastels, old-school plaids, and bold patterns, or stick to earthy basics and classics like faux leather.
ATHLETIC SKIRT
Perhaps the casual, sporty vibes of sweatsuits from the past year have inspired the mini skirt to get a similar makeover. With a fresh pair of sneakers, this look could never go wrong.
DENIM SKIRT
A denim mini skirt is a classic staple when it comes to summer dressing. Switch up your traditional T-shirt and jeans combo for a cute tank and one of these denim pieces as your new go-to outfit.
Faux Leather SKIRT
You may not know this, but it’s said that the mini skirt was first invented in the ‘60s during the “mod” era in London. The first few mod mini skirts were often in an A-line silhouette in faux leather and plaid, and today, the style is making a comeback in fun patterns. Before you raise an eyebrow, leather/pleather skirts are frankly one of the most stylish pieces the runway has to give us. These skirts are the chicest, most fun way to style this summer, through winter 2021.
With warmer weather here, the words of Drake come to mind: “start wearing less and going out more”. Even though the going-out part might still seem a bit too far-fetched right now, we can’t wait to say goodbye to our baggy sweats and start showing some leg with our go-to style option for the summer: mini skirts.
