Spring has arrived and with the warm weather comes the mini skirt. Women who choose to wear a mini skirt need to be very careful with the rest of their dress and women over thirty need to be even more careful. It is easy to come off look a little trashy if the mini-skirt is worn the wrong way. By following these three easy steps you can decide if a mini skirt is appropriate for you and learn how to style it in classy way.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Confidence
  • Good legs
  • A mini skirt

    If you got it flaunt it and admit it if you don't got it. In other words, be body conscious. Many women who exercise regularly (or were blessed with amazing genes) may have the legs to work the trend. Some of us may work our butts off at the gym and still not have the legs to wear a mini skirt. Be honest with yourself. Trust me, you will look your best if you follow that one simple rule.

  2. Step 2

    Choose wisely. When shopping for a skirt opt for simplicity. It is best to stay away from neon colors, crazy prints, most denim, frays, and rips. Make sure your butt is completely covered in which ever skirt you choose, and please do not buy the skirt from the juniors department.

  3. Step 3

    Keep it minimal. Everything from the silhouette, to the color of the skirt, makeup and accessories need to be simple. This is the best way to look classy in a mini skirt. The ability to flaunt a mini skirt after thirty is an achievement in itself, let it make the statement.

Tips & Warnings
  • Look at pictures of celebrities who wear mini skirts to get an idea of how the look can be styled. Victoria Beckham and Gweneth Paltrow both often hit the mini skirt trend right on mark.
  • Take a picture of yourself in the mini skirt. Pictures are an amazing way to keep you honest.
  • I am not claiming that women over thirty are old hags and that is why they cannot wear a mini skirt. I am merely stating that people need to be age appropriate...even if it is hard to admit.
