Culottes and midis have monopolised the bottoms market over the past few years, and as much as we love these flowy, longline trends, it's impossible to deny that hemlines are rising once again. In February, the runways proved that miniskirts are making a comeback — and with warmer weather in full bloom, we’re officially welcoming this thigh-grazing trend with open arms ( er, legs?).
This summer, let your worn-out jorts take a back seat in favour of these super-short numbers. From simple A-lines to utilitarian wraps and front-knotted, zipped, and buttoned pieces, let the 15 minis ahead be your new reliable throw-on-and-go picks. Ready, set, hike those hems way up.
Ease into the miniskirt trend with an A-line silhouette. A light chambray material and button front screams summer afternoons, and the creative hemline gives a subtle-but-playful touch to an otherwise simple piece.
