1. The Powerful Pleated Mini Skirt

Pleated mini skirts are universally flattering and can instantly accentuate your figure. Perfect for everything from office days to weekend coffee dates, their endless patterns and prints make it easy to elevate your Monday to Sunday wardrobe. They’re also a staple item when it comes to nailing the modern academia aesthetic.

Go classic with a monochrome colour scheme and couple a pleated black Max Mara mini skirt with a timeless white blouse or shirt by Chloe or Isabel Marant. Add some drama to your look and opt for knee-high boots or heels to take your look seamlessly from day to night.

For a casual ensemble, wrap up in an oversized chunky knit jumper and strut in a pair of new season boots by Gucci to complement your adorable mini skirt.

There’s also no need to shy away from white pleated mini skirts. When you’re keen to channel your inner athlete, tennis skirts styled with simple embroidered logo sweatshirts are the embodiment of athleisure chic.

THE UNIVERSALLY FLATTERING SILHOUETTE

2. The Timeless Tweed Mini Skirt

Praised for its versatility and ability to effortlessly combine practicality with style, tweed originates from the Scottish Highland during the Victorian Era. This beloved cloth has weaved its way through history since then, adopted by agriculturalists and aristocracy alike.

Fast-forward to 2022, and there’s no doubt you’ll look flawless when layering your tweed Sister Jane mini with a chic sweater vest and a white cotton shirt. On cooler days, Alessandra Rich’s tweed mini skirt layered with cosy outerwear pieces is bound to keep you warm. Add a coordinating tweed blazer or cardigan for a sophisticated evening look and accessorise with a headband for a quintessential light academia style.

3. The Daring Leather Mini Skirt

If you’re looking for the ultimate showstopping mini skirt, it’s time to call off the search. A leather mini skirt is a truly transitional wardrobe staple that ticks all the boxes. Pretty, fierce, eternally chic, and, with the right top and shoes, it’s also a flawless day-to-night piece.

Helmut Lang's black leather mini skirt can be adapted for office wear when matched with either a cosy jumper or smart blouse and a pair of tights. Step away from tradition and explore leather mini skirts in vibrant colours such as pillar box red or Muubaa’s patent a-line mini skirt in leaf green. Alternatively, tone things down with calming shades of pastel pink…

AN EXCELLENT DAY-TO-NIGHT PIECE

4. The Pretty in Pink Mini Skirt

When it comes to the prettiest mini skirts of this season and beyond, pink designer mini skirts are hard to beat. Luckily, we’ve been spoiled for choice with irresistible shades and silhouettes from Alessandra Rich, Blumarine, MACH & MACH, and more.

Speaking of, we highly recommend adding the MACH & MACH wool mini skirt in either a baby pink or hot pink to your cold weather line up. Either skirt will instantly elevate your winter wardrobe by adding a playful spin to every outfit your pair them with.

Pink mini skirts also seem to work perfectly year-round so think of them as an investment piece. Coordinate yours with chunky knitwear and boots for a fresh spin on your Autumn/Winter looks. Then style them with soft cotton tees and trainers or tennis shoes when warmer weather hits.

And yes, in case you’re wondering you can definitely wear your wrap skirts both at work and at the weekend. Some, like the Vivienne Westwood black satin wrap mini skirt, can even work for both.
