How to wear a mini skirt well?
The miniskirt has always been talked about. Her sexy side has often been the subject of debate and she is not always well accepted.
Suddenly, some women deprive themselves and secretly envy those who dare. And yet, it is quite possible to wear it without any vulgarity, and it would be a shame not to take advantage of it! The following article will tell you all the codes so that you can wear it well.
1) The models of mini skirt to get according to its silhouette
A-line mini skirt
It is perfect for V, H, I or 8 shapes. As it refines the hips, the A shapes can even be worn. Unlike a skater skirt which brings relief because it is very gathered, the A-line skirt is just flared without widening the silhouette.
Choose it preferably in jeans or suede. You can also opt for a colorful or printed jersey model. Beware of psychedelic models like the 70s, it is better to stay on beautiful basic: ethnic, striped ... if you do not want to give the impression of going to a disguised evening!
It is a cut that does not fear color, so do not hesitate with navy blue, burgundy or mustard which will bring a little pep to your outfit.
You can combine it with a wool sweater, a blouse or even a T-shirt. The ribbed knitted sweater with a funnel neck goes perfectly with the A-line skirt.
The mini skater skirt
As this skirt is worn just above the hips, it helps flatten the belly. A first choice for silhouettes looking for optical effects such as the O, A or I silhouette.
If its flared shape, hides the hips and the possible breeches, pay attention to the material, prefer it fluid rather than rigid because the latter adds volume to the silhouette.
Avoid ballerinas who are really too "girl" with this type of dress. Conversely, ankle boots or sneakers are completely recommended in order to contradict it.
The sweatshirt, the wool sweater (worn either outside or tucked in) or the T-shirt are very suitable as tops.
Denim mini skirt
Prefer it in light or raw blue or in white. Avoid models with mustaches or ornaments such as rhinestones, nails, glitter ... This is a model that must be chosen without artifices.
The only tear allowed is a raw hem at the bottom (like shorts you cut) otherwise the classic hem is required.
The cut should be straight and not too short: at least 5 cm below the buttocks.
The blouse goes perfectly with this piece. Choose colors like white, cream or sky blue. For a more casual look, a T-shirt and sneakers are adequate and cut from the too feminine style of this piece.
Depending on its shape: trapezoid, straight or skater, it will suit all shapes.
The leather mini-skirt
If there are two colors to remember for this model, it is black or camel (optional, khaki which remains an excellent half shade).
The cut must be straight and without zip, rivets .... or other decorations are to be forgotten because you might get tired of it.
You can wear it as well with a trench as a jacket, it all depends on the occasion and the desired look. However, avoid associating it with a leather biker jacket because too much leather kills the leather!
The knitted sweater is a good choice to soften this piece, on the other hand, shiny materials like satin are to be avoided.
As much as the perfecto must be in real leather as much for the mini-skirt you can find imitations that imitate leather well. Only downside and size: the prices of beautiful imitation often remain high! Under these conditions, it is better to invest directly in real leather, which can also be found occasionally in a vintage store for example.
If you are not sure which pieces to have in your wardrobe, see the following article: "What leather clothes to wear?"
Straight mini skirt
It is a classic model, which is worn rather mid thighs. It is suitable for silhouettes with thin legs like the I-shape or the V-shape.
Prefer a normal or high size for this model and especially wear it with a loose top to contradict the too tight side of this piece. It is by mixing the cups that we create harmony!
You can also superimpose it on a blouse + sweater + jacket for example because it will help to give it elegance, to dress it.
Of course, we avoid the pumps with this piece is put on beautiful flat shoes: derbies, sandals, moccasins ... Anything goes!
2) The precautions to take before putting on your mini-skirt
Precautions related to age and morphology
In all sincerity and without tongue in cheek, the mini-skirt spent 35 years is more risky than 20. But anything is possible. You can play on opaque tights, for example, or on a long-wearing blanket, like a kimono or a beautiful trench, for example.
I'll repeat myself, but what should be avoided are the combinations of “femme fatale” pieces worn with the mini. We forget the leopard print, the lace, the high heels, the wrap-around and all those pieces that are too womanly. We wear it with pieces of raw materials: beautiful basics and flat shoes!
After 35 years, it is better to choose it in a length going from the mid-thigh to the knees and avoid the skater skirt a little too lolita.
The pleated which refers more to the schoolgirl and the torn mini-skirt which expresses an “I am still young despite everything” are also to be left to the youngest 🙂
We must also take into account its morphology, women with pretty legs rather thin will be easier to wear. Rounder women can wear it provided they choose mid thigh, rather flared and worn with a loose, airy top.
If you have a little belly, breeches or curves at the hips, thighs or buttocks, always choose a flared or trapeze cut. And if you feel the gaze on you, remember that you can not please everyone and the main thing is that you have fun, so keep smiling and head up high and everything will be fine. 😉
If your legs have spots or spider veins, use and abuse opaque tights!
Cutting precautions
The tight-fitting elastane mini-skirt was not mentioned in the previous examples. It is not because it is not putable but simply because, perhaps you have already experienced it, it is a model which "goes up" with each step and which obliges you to shoot it constantly. Nothing worse than a sensation. We have already seen better in terms of comfort and elegance, so this one will do without!
Precautions related to associations
A red lipstick, pumps, thin black tights and a cleavage: either you live in a world where inappropriate remarks and acts do not exist and you are lucky, or you are simply unconscious! Your life is precious so please, calm down when you wear a mini skirt. If your legs are exposed, the top must be hidden, this is rule number one!
Round neck, boat neck, flexible and loose blouse, small airy top ... there are many stylish associations, take advantage of it!
Related to occasions
For any religious ceremony, the mini-skirt is not really recommended. You will always have people in the assembly who will glare at you in order to notify you that you have just committed the irreparable.
So avoid as much as possible or choose a reasonable length.
Related to the profession
In certain trades, prejudices die hard and unfortunately the mini-skirt is not tolerated everywhere. If you are a saleswoman in a trendy boutique, it will be easier to wear than if you work in an office.
3) Get rid of the brakes that prevent you from wearing the miniskirt
The look of the others
Ah the famous look of others, we always live through it as if our existence depended on it and suddenly what's going on? We simply miss our life. Others often criticize what they dare not do or what they envy so how can we let such malicious people rule our lives? And yes you understand, we do not let them do just that and we assume when it is appropriate to wear this piece.
The fear of being annoyed by the male sex
As you have probably already noticed, you only have to glimpse a patch of skin from his legs for the male species to return. Fortunately, some have the intelligence to do it discreetly, but there are others who dare everything and have no doubts.
What to do in these cases: avoid going home alone at late hours, and try as much as possible to be accompanied by the elected official or a friend, it is less easy to tackle a group rather than a single woman (and yes, their courage quickly finds its limit). If you cannot do it, put on a long coat that will cover your legs, thus neither seen nor known!
The complexes
Ah the famous complexes, sometimes real or sometimes imaginary but what is certain is that they are in our head and well anchored like a seagull to its rock. The first thing to do is to live for yourself and detach yourself from the eyes of others. To achieve this it is important to reclaim your body, dance or theater are great ways to tame it and make peace with it. All sports activities will help you too.
Comfort
When you wear a mini-skirt, you can't sit like a man on the subway (legs square).
Refer to the following article: "3 tips for feeling comfortable when wearing court" for more information.
Normally the models are still designed not to reveal your anatomy, be careful when you are sitting (it is better to cross your legs or put a bag on your knees) and everything will be fine, do not worry!
