Two spring seasons after re-emergence and it’s clear, hemlines have risen, miniskirt outfits proliferated and the micro trend has gained legs, literally. And if showing skin is in, you’ll be happy to hear that everyone from Dior and Prada, to Versace has given us options to show some leg. Of course, you can’t think of miniskirts without referencing Miu Miu’s internet-breaking micro-mini, which was made up of classic workwear fabrics that had been cut low at the hips and high at the thighs. There was no shortage of abbreviated hemlines in the spring 2022 collections, earning the miniskirt the title of silhouette of the season.
And while the miniskirt has a history with all kinds of fashion tropes from prep school to punk to ’60s mod style, let The Get be your guide to styling the modern-day miniskirt for 2022. In 8 shoppable looks, stylist Jasmine Hassett and photographer Tess Ayano captured some of our favorite minis as seen on model Sherry Shi. All hail the miniskirt!
Skirt Suit Up!
So long to stuffy pencil skirts or stiff midi skirt suits, colorfully coordinated jackets and short skirt combos have entered the chat—and they mean business. Take your pick from an array of vibrant colored sets from Dior’s spring collection.
Cult Classics
Miniskirts must be short but not all of them have to be sweet. Take Chopova Lowena’s signature spliced-up styles for example—the punky pleats hooked together by hardware carabiners have gained a hardcore fashion following that’s anything but.
The Mini Heard Round the World
Spring 2022’s most recognizable miniskirt is certainly Mrs. Prada’s ultra-cropped and frayed-edged version for Miu Miu. The low slug, ab-baring micro-mini has graced the feeds of our Instagram feeds, made into memes, and has been worn by a handful of daring celebs. The best way to wear it? Like nobody else.

Get Twiggy With It
For a nod to mod, style your ’60s inspired hemlines with color-drenched tights. For the illusion of even longer legs, wear shoes coordinated in the same hue.
Grown-Up Pleats
The pleated mini isn’t only for schoolgirl uniforms anymore. In fact, the bouncy skirts are seriously stylish when paired with men’s shirting, sleek suiting, and minimalist baubles.

The Little Black Skirt
If stepping out in a high hemline is enough of a statement itself, then we’d recommend starting simple and creating an outfit around a no-frills black miniskirt. You’ll find it has similar styling power to that of the LBD.

Patent Perfect
Be it this shiny black leather mini, the glitzy Y2K version as seen in Vogue’s Macarena video, or any of the electrifying miniskirt outfits Versace presented at its spring 2022 collection, one thing is clear, Donatella knows her way around the mini. How high can she go?!
Air Waves
Big, bold, black-and-white stripes were another one of spring’s most memorable trends, and Courrèges’s stand-out high-neck mini dress manages to combine the two shockingly cool trends with aplomb.
