How to Wear a Mini Skirt Just Like a Fashionista

Among those lyrics in Dave Matthews’ tune”Crash into Me” will be”hike up your skirt a bit more.” Wow, what a beat-the-heat proposal that is perfect Dave, for this warmer weather! (Ok, so that part of this song may have other meanings, but we will not go there). Our interpretation? Why, it’s time to figure out the way to utilize a miniskirt!

But before hitting at your favorite shop, let’s be sure we’re doing this summer as well as everything we can to flatter ourselves.

Budget Fashion Guide: How to Wear a Mini Skirt 

Wake up from Thigh-bernation

It has occurred to us all: You understand that lazy winter-into-spring/summer”I’ll only shave (or wax) just a little bit over my knee” effect? We predict it Thigh-bernation: taking a nice, deliberate rest from thigh follicle upkeep, which could lead to longer-than-normal neglect of that general region, even as the warmer months arrive. Rouse that razor baby, out of its slumber!

You are about to split into a miniature, baring more than you do in your usual shorts and long skirts. So break out the waxes, loofahs — whatever it takes, scrubs –and make your thighs as bump-free and smooth as possible. Sounds obvious, but we have all taken those shortcuts (c am on, as if you’ve never skipped out? Like not painting your pinky toenail as it is coated half the time anyhow ) .

Wear it Comfortably: Why Do the Sit’n’ Step Test

Sure, you look amazing in that miniskirt because you stand in front of the dressing-room mirror. But the key word is”standing.” In fact, your moves will entail movement than your mirror check and more walking.

So while you’re in that dressing room, get that mini on and sit in that sucker, bend a little, march set up and mimic like moving upstairs (who would ever believe you’d find some cardio in as well?) . Alright, we realize this may seem ridiculous, but 1) who is going to see you anyway? And 2) trust , you’re better off finding now your mini gets a wee tad too miniature than confronting the awkward discovery while shooting a seat in a crowded restaurant later.

You can not wear a mini–or anything, for that matter–should you feel uncomfortable. Feeling good and looking great go hand-in-hand. Do the exam!

Know What Your Choices Are

The best thing about shopping? Options! There is bound to be.

Minis shouldn’t be fundamental black or skin-tight; you may go short while still being plenty of color and fabric choices to boot! We enjoy a magenta silk banded-waist skirt or a yellow one: bright, short and large!

Things are Looking Down–and that is a Fantastic Thing

Even if you’re beyond enthusiastic about daring lipstick and that vibrant new necklace you tone it down, or at least save it for one more ensemble scored. Wearing a miniskirt is about your lower half, therefore keep the focus there.

Shoes: Since you are in leg-sporting style, why not go all out and reveal even more leg? If you’re on the shorter side, you can at least create the illusion of runway gams, due to sandals’ and heels’ leg-lengthening consequences. Find a heel that works for you, then get out there and have pleasure in that miniskirt!

Tops: The ideal shirt, depending on your body type and the overall style of this miniskirt can make the difference between looking pulled-together or looking unkempt. Possessing some regret that is potato-chip-binge-belly? Choose a billowy peasant top–billowy, long; you still want to demonstrate your skirt’s pretty unique or style cloth. Wearing a mini with layout that is waist-high that is cool that begs to be seen? Try tucking in a shirt to show off the style. Do not conceal yourself or that skirt!

Bracelets: Think about it. Your wrist is near your buttocks and thighs, when you are walking. A bracelet that is broad or colorful brings the eye behaving as an miniskirt accessory that is unexpected.

Make Size-Savvy

Mini does not mean mini-waisted. Sigh. Yup, we’ve been down that street, occasionally wishing we could do around our waist what that miniature’s doing in the hem (with a little less of it). But we’re blessed with the figures we’ve got and that said we’re over the thought that you wants to become a size 4 to stone a miniskirt. Locate a mini in your true size; give your body area to maneuver without the boundaries of a skirt that is too-small.

Have Fun!

We adore a miniature, just by virtue of being a true mini, exudes a sense of fun. Even though you can — you don’t need to take a miniskirt badly. Throw the concept that mini skirt=black. Publish a floral flowing one with a blazer for a and you’re set. Go all neutral/classic Rachel Green (Jennifer Aniston) yourself using a tucked-in crisp white shirt and beige underside. Try a cotton-blended mini with a tank plus flip-flops for a much more casual appearance.

It’s possible to go from”tennis, anyone?” (navy, pleated-front miniature with pocketed, white cotton top) to”cocktails, everyone!” (more form-fitting cobalt-blue mini with a silver tank).
