Is the Inescapable Micro-Mini Skirt Trend Here to Stay?

When the term "mini skirt" was first coined in the 60s, designers like Mary Quant were using it to describe a hemline that ended just a few inches above the knee.

For micro-minis, designers are going as high as possible, leaving just a few inches for modesty.

We can't help but think of Y2K icons like Christina Aguilera and Paris Hilton, some of the original hemline-length risktakers, when we see this trend.

For Miu Miu's Spring/Summer 2022 collection, the brand sent several of these teeny-tiny skirts down the runway, made to look even shorter by showing a peek of the pocket lining beneath the skirt, setting off a domino effect of micro-minis everywhere.

We're now seeing the trend everywhere, from street style looks to red carpet events, like Sydney Sweeney's very Euphoria look for the MTV Movie & TV Awards, designed by none other than Miu Miu.

As always, your personal style is up to you. If this isn't your cup of tea, no worries—micro-minis may just be a micro-trend.

Besides, we're still seeing a lot of celebs rocking the maxi skirt look.

Want to incorporate this trend into your own wardrobe?

The Miu Miu design retails for around $800, but there are already plenty of budget-friendly options available.
