We’ve all heard the iconic Paris Hilton quote about miniskirts: “Skirts should be the size of a belt. Life’s short, take risks.” And while we might not be wearing belts as bottoms (this week), we’re definitely leaning into the mini moment. This summer, it’s all about bold hemlines, flirty fabrics, and styling that turns heads in the best way.

Your closet’s forever fave just got a sunny upgrade. A denim mini is effortlessly cool, easy to throw on, and basically goes with everything. Dress it down with a baby tee and sneakers, or go full Euro summer with a bandeau top, kitten heels, and a little shoulder bag. It’s giving “cool girl on vacation” energy, and I’m here for it.

Because night outs were made for sparkle. A sequin mini instantly levels up your look and catches the light in all the right ways. Pair it with a simple tank or slinky cami and let the skirt do the talking. Add your fave heels and a slick pony, and you’re ready to dance ‘til sunrise.
Linen Minis

Easy, airy, and always cute, linen minis are made for sun-soaked strolls and beachside brunches. They’re lightweight, breathable, and give off that effortless “I just threw this on” energy (even if you didn’t). Style it with a bandeau or cropped blouse, gold hoops, and a woven tote for the ultimate coastal cool-girl moment.
Matching Set Minis

The kind of outfit that makes it look like you have your life together (even if you don’t). A matching mini set is cute, coordinated, and gives full main character energy. Wear it with sneakers for a casual day vibe, or throw on strappy heels and glossy lips for drinks on the rooftop. One and done? Yes please.

Stripes never go out of style, and these minis bring a fun, fresh twist to a classic pattern. They add a little punch without stealing the show, making them perfect for everything from weekend brunch to a casual stroll. Pair yours with a tucked-in tee or a fitted crop top, layer on some gold jewelry, and slip into your favourite sandals or sneakers for an easy, put-together look.
Swim-Approved Minis

The easiest way to go from poolside lounging to seaside sipping. Whether it’s terry, crochet, or a breezy wrap style, these minis are made to slip on over your bikini with zero fuss. Pair with your fave swimsuit top, a loose button-down, and some retro shades for that just-off-the-beach glow that never goes out of style.
