There is perhaps no piece in our wardrobe more reliable than the trusty mini skirt. You can wear it to the bar, to the beach, to work, to coffee dates and everywhere in between.
They’re also perhaps the most trans-seasonal piece you could ever have in your arsenal, throw on some tights and your favourite chunky coat and you have a winter ensemble or pair with a t-shirt and sandals when the heat is too much to bear.
From classic denim to trendy prints and textures, there’s a mini skirt out there for every style and occasion.
One of the very best things about mini skirts is that they are universally flattering. Whether you’re curvy, petite, tall, leggy or anywhere in between – they accentuate your figure and always look stylish. Bodycon styles are sultry and highlight your curves whilst a-line silhouettes are timeless and create a flattering silhouette. Not to mention there are endless styles, fabrics, designs and textures out there that offer endless possibilities.
A favourite of the style set and celebrities everywhere, it’s high time you take the leap and find a go-to mini of your own. We’re taking a look at some of our favourites below with so many options to choose from you’re bound to find one.

Are mini skirts in style 2024?
Of course they are! Mini skirts are one of those pieces that truly never go out of style. In 2022 we actually saw people reaching for ultra-mini styles a la Miu Miu S/S 22, and that continued well into 2023 after the look went viral.
Since then, we’ve seen people go back to the classic mini (but not too mini) style with celebrities such as Hailey Bieber, Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo and more joining in the fun.
As mini skirts are so versatile, you can pretty much make them work no matter how your style evolves and changes.
