I Love Maxis, But These 8 Outfits Have Me Obsessing Over Minis
Okay, I know maxi skirts are having a major moment this season—and trust me, I have fully embraced the trend with the small crew of denim, linen, and jersey styles hanging in my closet. But I’m honestly more of a miniskirt devotee. They’re chic, versatile, and easy to wear year-round with the right shoes and hosiery.
Of course, now that we’re in the throes of summer, there’s no better time to sport a shorter hemline. I’ve spotted everything from cool cargo styles to rich-looking tweed fabrics on the fashion crowd this season. Despite the varying silhouettes and styling, the fashion set has proved how versatile miniskirts are, no matter the season.
Ahead, discover eight of-the-moment ways to make miniskirt outfits feel fresh. Then shop the looks for yourself.
Elevate a casual black cargo miniskirt with chic layers, like a white tee, a relaxed striped button-down, and an oversize black blazer. This is the perfect transitional ensemble as we head toward fall.
Shop the look:
A white linen miniskirt paired with a lightweight striped sweater is the perfect outfit to see you through summer. Finish the look with of-the-moment ballet slippers and a straw tote bag.
Shop the look:
Opt for a black print miniskirt paired with a sleek black tank top and kitten heel mules for a summer evening out. Just add a black blazer once the temps start to cool.
Shop the look:
Nothing is chicer than a Chanel-inspired tweed miniskirt and jacket. Lean into the Barbiecore trend with a pretty pink hue.
Shop the look:
For the perfect transition into fall, style a chic black miniskirt with long-sleeve neutral layers and finish the look with trendy statement shoes.
Shop the look:
Channel your inner Barbie, and have fun playing with shades of pink from head to toe.
Shop the look:
You can't go wrong with a simple white tee and a classic black miniskirt with ballet flats. A chic leather top-handle handbag and preppy sweater complete the minimalist look.
Shop the look:
Style a white cardigan and a black miniskirt with socks and loafers for an outfit that oozes back-to-school charm.
