The 3 Mini Skirt Styles Fashion People Are Wearing and Avoiding This Autumn

Is it ever not mini skirt season? Even in the harshest of weather, the fashion girls will endure a chill if it means they get to style their favourite item all year round.

An evergreen favourite, the mini is always in fashion, but certain shapes and cuts might fall in and out of favour as the seasons change.

Egged on by Miu Miu's infamous version from a few seasons ago, the pleated mini skirt is back at the top of our wish list, whist yesteryear's tube skirt has creeped out of vision.

Perfect for stying with knee high boots (an autumn essential) and a thick pair of tights, the mini skirt can take you long into autumn and winter with a fitted merino knit, but looks equally chic with an oversized jumper and extra layers if the weather requires. 

Read on to discover which styles we're skipping (for now), and which styles we're into this autumn.

Style Notes: If there's one this autumn calls for, it's leather. Swap your cotton or linen our for this heavier fabric and pair with a chunky knit for an autumn-ready look.
