Mini V’s Midi: Spring/Summer’s Hottest Skirt Trends
It’s a battle of the skirts this season, with the SS22 catwalks flooded with trends. But which one is for you? Let the skirts do the talking.
From micro mini’s to slinky midi’s, the spring/summer runways shined a spotlight on skirts this season. Minimalists rejoice as simple black styles can be found on both ends of the spectrum or colour-lovers can revel in high octane hues that pack a punch.
So if you’re looking to refresh your wardrobe with some new-season skirts, keep scrolling to see our edit of the best styles to shop now.
THE MINI SKIRT
SS22 was a leggy display with designers sending eye-wateringly short skirts down the runway (we’re looking at you, Miu Miu) but is this a trend we can really get on board with? There’s no skirting the issue, high hemlines are not for everyone – it’s likely you’re having flashbacks of rolling up your PE skirt for netball. But brands have made a case for the supermini with designs we can get on board with when styled in a grown-up manner – we’re talking oversized shirts and chic sandals.
Arket’s neon yellow skirt is the perfect example of how bright colours in clean silhouettes can look polished. As seen here, style with a crisp white shirt and ballet flats for a fun look we predict fashion girls will love.
French-muse Anne-Laure Mais shows us that mini skirts aren’t just for teenagers with this playful leopard mini. We love her Parisian take on this trend, pairing with a simple blue shirt and Mary Jane shoes. Just add a shoulder bag and sunnies for a cute weekend look.
THE MIDI SKIRT
It’s likely you’ve already invested in black, so why not try a bold hue or fun print this season. A slinky slip skirt is always a stylish choice and a wardrobe staple widely loved – it’s flattering for everyone and infinitely wearable. Weekend brunch? Pair with a tee and sneakers. Work meeting? White shirt and penny loafers. If you’re keen to broaden your skirt spectrum, denim skirts will feel fresh for summer when styled with a tank top and dad sandals. We’re caught in the midi.
Take your look to new heights and pair your skirt with a matching silk shirt for a sophisticated evening look that can do no wrong. Finish with barely-there sandals, simple gold jewellery and a minimal shoulder bag.
A black slip skirt is a perennial staple and can be worn season to season. Wear with sneakers and an oversized blazer whilst the weather is still cool, or take note from Anouk Yve and pair with sandals and a tank top for easy summer dressing. Finish the look with a chic basket bag and black sunnies.
