How to wear a mini skirt without looking vulgar
Do you love miniskirts but never know how to wear them without looking vulgar? Follow our style tips to wear the mini skirt flawlessly.
Ahhhh the miniskirts, blessings and delight!
Tall, short, curvy or small, with a wasp waist or junonic hips, it doesn't matter.
We all have at least one miniskirt in the closet.
There are those who have made it a distinctive sign of their look, wearing it every day with always new and original combinations, while others show it off only on weekends, or on all occasions when they want to feel special and feminine.
And those who wear it from time to time hesitates, and puts it back in the wardrobe, waiting for the moment when sooner or later they will feel ready to wear it.
Because if it is true that the minis were born, and have always been considered, as a symbol of female emancipation, as well as an unmistakable instrument of seduction, it is equally true that "the miniskirt test" represents a real drama for many women, who today they have a hard time showing their legs without feeling vulgar.
The miniskirt has returned to the fore in recent years, clearing all limits of size and fabric.
And while the denim miniskirts do not miss a beat, conquering the wardrobe of all the women in the world, the fabrics and patterns multiply, and alongside the mini-skirts of traditional length appear the micro-skirts, inspired by shorts.
But the colors, the fabric, and the dictates of fashion don't matter to those who just don't feel comfortable wearing a miniskirt.
Yet there are various ways and various occasions to wear the miniskirt without looking out of place, flashy, or not very classy.
Let's review a few bon-tone rules together to understand how to wear the miniskirt without feeling uncomfortable.
1. Evaluate the opportunities for use
Our beloved Carla Gozzi, fashion expert and super-chic stylist, does nothing but repeat it: every dress in our wardrobe must be destined for a specific use occasion. The same goes for the miniskirt.
If you fear the "cubist" effect, you must not stop wearing short skirts, rather you must choose the right occasion.
Avoid wearing it to work, where you risk arousing the envy and chatter of colleagues and the ire of superiors.
It would give you a decidedly unprofessional look.
In general, it should be avoided on all formal occasions where sober and classic looks are required.
But when you go out with your friends, go to dinner with your boyfriend, or just want to go shopping, why shouldn't you wear it?
2. Create a flawless outfit
Remember that a mini skirt alone cannot give you a kitchy look. Rather, pairing it with the wrong pieces can create a really excessive mix.
So stay away from the bad combination of low-cut / short top and micro skirt.
Having a beautiful body is no excuse for uncovering yourself too much.
The line between a sexy look and a vulgar look is very thin.
By choosing a top or blouse with a not too deep neckline, you will make the most elegant choice.
You can play with the tight skirt-wide top contrast or, conversely, wide skirt-tight top.
From the catwalks comes the inspiration for outfits with a fresh and cheerful flavor, created with fluttering floral patterned skirts and wide shirts strictly tucked inside the skirt.
3. Don't get the size wrong
If you think that a woman squeezed into a smaller size leather miniskirt can really be sexy, then you've never heard of the "mortadella on the net" effect.
A miniskirt of the wrong size, more than enhancing your femininity, can only ruin your silhouette, highlighting its flaws (read love handles and dangerous curves).
It is not a question of extra pounds or physical fitness, but of wearing an item of clothing that was not made for our measurements.
Before buying a miniskirt, rather than leaving it in the closet because it doesn't make you feel comfortable, make sure it is the right size.
4. Use the right underwear
Your fear is that everyone can discover the color of your panties when you wear a mini skirt?
Fear that can be easily averted by following two small rules.
First of all, do not choose skirts that are too, too, short, in that case, exposed underwear is a choice.
After all, wearing a crotch skirt is really difficult, the risk of appearing vulgar and excessive is predictable. And let's face it, if you don't have two terrifying legs, the effect can never be so seductive.
Rather, choose the length that best suits your body and wear the right underwear.
If the skirt is tight, opt for seamless panties, and of smooth fabric, so as not to appear under the skirt.
Avoid thongs and thongs, you know why!
To feel free to go wild in the disco or cross your legs, you can opt for a cotton underwear shorts.
In haberdashery you can find them easily.
5. Wear them with tights
With the arrival of summer we all feel a bit orphaned of leggings.
When the temperatures allow it they are a real lifeline pro skirts.
They cover us, warm us, make us feel more free to move.
In reality, nothing prevents us from wearing them with skirts even in summer, apart from the heat, of course.
But if you think you can wear the lighter version of the leggings even on vacation, well do it!
In absolute terms, more or less opaque stockings are a very useful tool to "lighten" the femme fatale effect of many miniskirts.
To feel more comfortable and less at the center of attention with that red mini you like so much, then wear the socks, more or less opaque according to your mood, dress, and temperatures!
6. Avoid heels that are too high
In the collective imagination, the seductive woman par excellence wears a very short dress or skirt and high heels.
True, but not always.
To wear such a stylized look, it is essential to have a good relationship with your body, a good posture, the right attitude.
And not all of us have it, let's face it.
With an “exaggerated” look, 12 cm from the ground, you not only risk appearing vulgar and out of place, but also feel uncomfortable in your movements and more.
Instead, to avoid unpleasant moments, wear the miniskirt with flat sandals or wedges. The look will look sexy, without being excessive!
