The Mini: A short history of this trendworthy style
Friday, June 19th, 2009
The Mini - in all it’s forms- a skirt, a dress and even a jumper and jumpsuit dates back to the 60’s and is clarified by a hemline about 7.9″ above the knee. That’s not as short as you’d think. And, it actually gives you the opportunity to show some leg (if you dare), flash a pair of colored tights or leggings and even wear over your skinny jeans. It’s a fun piece and one that everyone should have in their closet for Summer.
Rhianna is one celebrity who knows how to pull of The Mini with style and individuality.
The Mini can definitely be referred to a trendworthy piece since it withstands the test of time. When I use the term “Trendworthy”, I am using it to refer to a piece or a collection of pieces that are often considered “trendy” but in reality are pieces that are “worth” the purchase because of the longstanding wearability.
We are having some fun with some really great mini pieces this summer. The Beau Soleil dresses are so easy to wear and drape beautifully. We love these paired with a pair of short boots and a Splendid Vest- a great summer concert look!
Joie did the Chiara dress that we keep selling out of because it has a great boho vibe and is so wearable. It looks great over skinny crop denim and leggings, but works well alone as a real feminine style.
Haute Hippie has designed a Shirtdress that floats over your body beautifully, but also works belted and layered over leggings. And the color is amazing - we love it paired back to brights and neutrals.
Our collection of Mini styles certainly has legs (sorry, I couldn’t resist using that!) making it easy to add it to your wardrobe as a “go-to” piece.
