This cut flatters just about every body type.

Miniskirts are part of a fashion trend that has remained popular among women of all ages. A common misconception is that you must be very skinny to wear a mini-skirt. This is not true--many women can wear one. However, it is important to know that you can not go by what looks good on others. Instead, choose the miniskirt that looks best on you and flatters your figure.

  1. How to Choose a Mini Skirt

    • 1

      Knowing your body type can help you find the skirt best for you. Remember to be honest with yourself.

      Styles include solid colors, such as black or brown and different types of denim, such as faded or super-distressed. Keep an open mind. As you’re shopping, you might find a different style you like.

    • 3

      Choose a skirt based on what features you want to flaunt and what features you may want to conceal. For example, if you feel your thighs are large, choose a skirt that rises approximately 2 to 3 inches above the knee. If you want to elongate your legs, choose a shorter skirt that is 4 inches above the knee.

      Shopping for a miniskirt takes time and it’s likely you’ll go through many of them before you find one you like. If you find a skirt that you like but aren’t sure if it’s the one for you, ask the sales associate to hold onto it for you. Come back and give it a second glance after you’ve looked around some more.

      When choosing a miniskirt, it’s important to choose one that meets all of your expectations. Since a miniskirt is short and there is usually minimal material to it, it is not likely you’ll want to get it altered. Instead, find the miniskirt that fits you perfectly.

Tips & Warnings

  • Bring a friend who you know will be honest with you. Ask them their opinion about the different skirts you try on.

  • Don’t purchase a skirt based on the incentive that you will lose weight or work out to fit into it. This only wastes your money.
