The Micro Mini: An easy, versatile fall trend
The mini-skirt has been around forever, but the new and polished take on this piece is no longer just for those with model thin silhouettes or for those with legs that are miles long. The key to wearing this trend is balancing the short hemline with more covering proportions either on the top or the bottom. Paired back to many of our other favorite fall trends (The Boyfriend Blazer, Leggings, and Chunky Knit Cardigans), the micro mini is turning into a daily essential just like your favorite pair of jeans.
Some of our favorite offerings of the micro-mini include styles from Joie, Elizabeth and James, and Nanette Lepore–each one is so different from the other and can be worn is so many different ways that we are having a hard time deciding which is our favorite!
Joie’s Darcy Skirt gives off the “boho cool” vibe when paired back to a printed blouse, over-sized shaggy vest, and tall boots creating a look that is both luxe, yet exotically edgy.
For those who prefer a more polished, girly version on this trend, Nanette Lepore’s Too Hot Skirt & Elizabeth and James’ Noguchi Skirt are offered in black which work well paired back to a bright tee and some sky-high heels for a fresh, clean look that is both stream-lined and sexy.
Transitioning these mini’s into cooler weather is effortless when worn with many of the legging options we have at shopchantal.com. Adding a legging is also a flattering way to get the look of the moment for those who feel a bit self-conscious baring too much leg. Another figure-flattering option, pair with a tall boot to create a balancing act as to not bare too much leg.
Appropriate for both office and play, the trend is being seen in many different textures, colors, and fabrications making it easy to find “the one” that fits your personal style and lifestyle best! Just remember, rock it with confidence–the most important accessory to this look!
