Edward Berthelot/Getty ImagesAfter a successful run on the spring/summer 2022 runways, the academic-underachiever trend is going strong on the streets in Paris, with untucked Oxford shirts, loose ties, and super-short pleated skirts finding much success there. Notice the tights-and-socks combo, a genius hack for wearing skirts in the cold weather.
Swap out the sweater for a boxy button-down and a tie for the fashion version of an after-school look.

Tip: By opting for a wool mini, your entire look is going to automatically become that much toastier.

Forget little black dresses—2022 is the year of the little black skirt.

How much do you want to bet that we'll see Maddy from Euphoria (played by Alexa Demie) donning this skirt in season two?

I must've owned 10 skirts just like this in middle school.
I still think skorts were one of fashion's most genius inventions.
