12 best mini skirts for summer 2024: Expert tips on how to wear the micro trend | HELLO!

Mini skirts took centre stage once again on the spring/summer 2024 runways, seen at the likes of Miu Miu, Gucci, Loewe and Balmain, from white micro minis to fitted denim styles and baby pink ruffled pieces.

The black mini skirt: & Other Stories Tailored Mini Wrap Skirt, £57 / $79

The denim mini skirt: Levi's Recrafted Icon Denim Skirt, £65 / $69.50

The leather mini skirt: Reiss Edie Leather Mini Skirt, £198 / $330

The white mini skirt: Mango Buttoned Mini Skirt, £45.99 / $69.99

Despite preconceptions, a mini skirt can be chic and classy. The key is to balance your pieces. Mini skirts and oversized blazers are a match made in heaven. Ditto to a mini skirt and a trench - ideal in this unpredictable weather. Wear a high neck top underneath and finish with a pair of knee-high boots.

Alternatively, style a mini skirt with an oversized bomber and trainers like Hailey Bieber for a more grungy look, or go super casual with a striped knit jumper à la Emili Sindlev. 

If you have the opportunity to wear a more statement outfit, emulate Leonie Hanne's tonal pink ensemble with multiple bold pieces worn at once. She paired a neon pink mini skirt with a baby pink blazer, a pink Balenciaga Hourglass bag and matching metallic heels.

From sequin to pleated pieces, style expert Jeneé Naylor knows how to rock a mini skirt, so I got in touch with her for tips on how to style one this summer.

As Jeneé  says, A-Line silhouettes can be the most flattering of all mini skirt styles. This floaty skirt from H&M is made from heavyweight jersey fabric and comes in three different colours. Reviews say it runs large, so consider sizing down.
