One of my favourite pastimes is bearing witness to the cyclical nature of trends and seeing how people make runway trends their own with individual styling tweaks. There's a certain nostalgia that comes with seeing styles I desperately longed to wear as a teenager make a comeback. I spent a portion of the 2000s fantasising about wearing such a style, hiking up my school skirt in a bid to emulate Britney Spears's "Baby One More Time" ensemble.
But now in 2023, I'm excited to take on the trend in a chic, grown-up way. And if ever there was a time to experiment with shorter hemlines (although granted, not quite as short as that iconic Miu Miu style), it's in the summer months when the sun is (well, nearly) beaming that pin-baring styles are as practical as they are trendy.
How to style a mini skirt for summer I hear you ask? It's easy. Keep your look simple and add a linen shirt, t-shirt or even blazer, before choosing from trainers, heels, sandals or even flats. The choices are endless.
Scroll on to see how some of the fashion set are wearing their mini skirts right now, as well as shop my favourite summer-ready styles.

@nlmarilynStyle Notes: The partywear version of the much-loved miniskirt. I love how Marilyn has paired hers with a simple tee.

@raeannlangasStyle Notes: Rae styles her mini with heeled loafers and socks for a cosy Scandinavian vibe.

@nnennaechemStyle Notes: Grey denim, a cropped blazer and ballet flats? I'm in!

@hannastefanssonStyle Notes: While the weather still isn't quite playing ball, keep layers on up top like Hanna.

@annelauremaisStyle Notes: Pair miniskirts with matching jackets for a classic ensemble. Wear it with anything from loafers to trainers.

@sylviemus_Style Notes: Sylvie's outfit might just be my favourite. A denim mini with mules and a crisp whiie shirt? So simple, yet so effective.
This classic style will work hard in your wardrobe year round.
I love the styling here. A simple tee + statement skirt = a match made in heaven.
Picture this with heels and a blazer on your next date night.
You can always rely on Isabel Marant Étoile for beautiful minis.
When it comes to sequins, I like to dress my down with cotton, jersey and linen fabrications.
I can't wait to copy this outfit as soon as it gets just a tad warmer.
