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.
