How To Look Your Best In A Mini Skirt
Yes, mini skirts - very short mini skirts at that - are being worn by celebrities all over the place at the moment as demonstrated here by gorgeous Gwyneth Paltrow. Mini skirts are not for everyone, but by following some easy guidelines there are very few of us who cannot get away with a "mini". Some might feel more comfortable with skirts which are a few inches above the knee rather than a few inches below the knicker line, but only you will know where you feel good drawing the "hem"-line!
If You Are Feeling Daring ...
- Take your mini to the extreme and wear legs bare - this is the bravest of all looks and only you know if your pins are up to it.
- Go for a straight cut mini skirt with a daring halter party top which should be worn with strappy high heels or wedges.
- PS If you want to try this look and your legs have a few minor imperfections its always worth trying out some of the leg make up that is available, such as Pretty Polly Love Legs Sheer Silk Foundation.
Want A Prettier Summer Look?
- Look for a mini in a demin or more casual style - with jeans or combats style pockets.
- Pair this with a pretty summer top or vest and flat pumps or flip-flops, and again bare legs - this is great for on holiday when you have been able to top up your tan.
Want To Wear A Mini For Smart-Casual Wear?
- This is a great look for work - look for wool mix or pin stripe mini skirts - probably in a slightly longer version than the more casual styles.
- Mix this up with a girly work style blouse, or cardigan twin-set for a super elegant look.
- Wear it with pumps with a low heel or Mary-Janes and sheer tights.
Minis Are Super Cool In Winter Too!
- Look for dark or bright primary coloured mini skirts in heavier fabrics such as denim or cord. Suede is also one of my favourites for a winter mini skirt.
- Team this with a co-ordinating pair of opaque tights and chunky knit sweater.
- Alternatively, choose a bright colour for your mini, wear this with black tights and sweater, and match the skirt up with co-ordinating winter woollies, such as scarf and knitted ski hat.
Everyone can enjoy wearing a mini skirt every now and again, you've just got to choose your style.
