HOW TO WEAR A MINI SKIRT

Mini skirts are funny items that are never really out of style. Here's how to look amazing in one.   Choose the right skirt.  Not all minis are equal. Some have more space than others.

A-LINE

This classic skirt flaunts an early-’60s attitude, and the polished daytime look is ever-appropriate. But our A-line obsession is rooted in the universally flattering, hip-and-thigh disguising shape that lets us have our cake and eat it too. And for that, it will always have a place in our closet.  HOW TO WEAR IT   There’s a prim, clean-scrubbed vibe to these skirts. So add a fitted little jacket or a basic belt, and carry a structured bag. And while it may be tempting to slip on a pair of flats, these skirts, especially those that fall below the knee, beg for the height of a ladylike heel. ...

MAXI

This summer, a certain style of skirt has grabbed my attention - the maxi.    Equal parts laid-back and feminine, the maxi is easy to wear on the weekend with a wrist full of bangles or the morning school/coffee run with strappy (but appropriately and sensibly flat) sandals.    No matter what you do with it, a fitted pencil skirt will make you look the business nine-to-five but pulling on a relaxed, floor-sweeping skirt: pays off in the fashion appeal, comfort and versatility stakes.When you choose to wear maxi skirts, it's important to remember four things. Let's find out!1. Consider your height I’ll let you in on a short girl’s secret: too-long hemlines will only make you look shorter. Maxi skirts should just graze the...
