It has been a while since I wore my mini skirts. If I remember it right the last time I put mine on was almost 5 years ago. Not like I don’t like them, I just didn’t really have any chance to wear them. Especially when I was younger, I wasn’t allowed to leave home wearing mini-skirts under my parents’ supervision. When it comes to mini-skirts, I know many girls are skeptical of the length. Not going to lie, I am very self-conscious too so I totally understand where this is coming from.

You don’t have to be a model or cheerleader in order to pull off mini-skirts; you can wear mini-skirts anytime as long as you know how to choose the right style. Depends on your comfort level, you can go from bodycon (tight) to pleats (flowy). I personally like the classic A-line cut because I find this cut the most flattering. Besides finding the right style of skirt, picking the right top to go with it is very important too. T-shirts usually go well with mini-skirts because of the simplicity. I like to pair my minis with sweaters but I always make sure my sweater is not too long that ends up hiding my skirt and makes me look like I wear nothing at the bottom. And most shoes go well with minis: boots, heels, wedges, sandals, flats. Especially boots and mini-skirts, they are the classic match!

Even though mini-skirts are not the most versatile, but you can still wear them every season, all year long. In summer you can pair your minis with gladiator sandals; in winter you can wear them with a pair of over-the-knee boots. If you really don’t feel 100% comfortable with just wearing a mini-skirt, you can always wear leggings or tights/stockings underneath. You have to feel comfortable in what you are wearing in order for you to be confident! If you are having a holiday party soon, you should consider wearing a mini-skirt with velvet top and of course a pair of heels.
