If I had to choose one trend that dominates the spring- summer 2022 collections, it would be the micro mini length. Firmly overshadowed by midi skirts, floor-length sundresses and midaxi dresses during the last eight years, mini skirts have been enjoying their renaissance in all fashion spheres, with countless designers presenting their own view of the ’60s fashion icon. At the same time, many collections are becoming more and more all-season meaning that they can be worn all year round. Below we will take a closer look at what to wear with a mini in different weather, how to create a look with a mini and what short skirts and dresses you should pay attention to.
IS IT A GOOD IDEA TO WEAR A SKIRT IN WINTER?
On the one hand, it is logical to assume that in frosty weather it will be colder in a skirt than in trousers. However, if you decide to buy a skirt made of woolen material or other insulated fabric, or complete the look with long and warm outerwear, you will feel cozy and beautiful in it. It is also important to understand what to wear with a skirt in winter, and if you choose the right clothing items, the skirt will be very comfortable.
For example, a winning combination of a midi skirt and a knitted sweater, complemented by high boots, is a perfect solution for cold weather. You can also combine a mid-length skirt with a T-shirt or tank top worn under a cardigan, jacket or knitted blazer. Well, let’s not forget about the layering that is now trendy: create an outfit with a ribbed turtleneck, a cotton checkered shirt and a leather or suede jacket in combination with a strict slit skirt or a leather pencil skirt.
WHICH MODELS OF SKIRT ARE BEST FOR COLD WEATHER?
Here, of course, it all depends on your comfortable temperatures. Definitely, a high-slit skirt or a light flare skirt are not the best options for cold weather, but they can be worn if you have a down jacket or a long coat. But such options as a pleated skirt in a large or small pleats, A-line skirt, a tulip skirt and a wrap style will be very useful in winter. And this season asymmetry is on its edge of popularity.
I advise you to buy a skirt made of dense suiting fabric with wool in the composition if the thermal properties of the material are important to you or if you have a short outerwear. A long sweater, hoodie, and warm tights can serve as additional insulation (I advise you to try a bright shade for the sake of experiment). But don’t give up on looks with silk skirts and woolen sweaters! This game of contrasts and textures is simply mesmerizing, so try to use this combination in a winter look: the main thing is not to forget about long outerwear.
