How To Wear The Mini Skirt Trend Like A Grown Up

Nothing embodies the saying “what goes around comes around” like the fashion industry. In recent years we have seen trends from the early 2000s and 90’s come back full circle in a revamped way. Whoever said goodbye to the mini-skirt trend in the 2000s, didn’t see this upgrade coming.

Thanks to fashion weeks and Gen Z TikTok, the mini-skirt trend is back and it looks like it’s taking over street fashion real fast. Now that the height of the pandemic is over, designers are re-embracing sexy designs and showing off lots of skin.

For two whole years, we’ve been indoors, cautious, wearing pajamas, joggers, attending zoom meetings, and kissing goodbye to fun nights out with friends. Now that things are returning back to normal, the mini-skirt trend is heating up. 

Take, for example, designer Miuccia Prada highlighted the itsy-bitsy trend in the Prada’s and Miu Miu’s spring 2022 collection. Other prestigious brands across the Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter 2021 shows, including Chanel, Versace, Balmain also followed suit, further proving that pieces with mini hemlines are gaining more momentum than before. For Prada, it was, the shorter the impact.

However, we’ve said goodbye to the Brittney Spears and the Christina Aguilera way of wearing the mini skirt, this time around we are styling the trend with a modern and updated mindset. So keep reading for how to wear the mini-skirt trend like a grown-up.

Mixing proportions is fashion 101 if you’re looking to upgrade your outfit. In this case, a sweatshirt will do justice to the mini skirt in terms of looking bulky above and very fit beneath. This combo will give Gen Z plus Gen X vibes combined and that’s a good thing.
