Summer has to be the perfect time to put on all your favorite show-some-skin mini dresses! When the sun comes out and the heatwave approaches, you know it’s time to show some leg. Although for the last two years, midi dresses ruled over the rest of the silhouettes, now minis are making their way back into our closets and on the streets.
From Chanel to Miu Miu to Versace, the SS22 lineup saw a lot of short, short, short hemlines. And yes, that’s how short it was! From fun, carefree designs to color-popping ones, there is a lot of versatility that exists in this one shape. A result of the Y2K movement that dominated 2021, micro mini hemlines are a hard nut to crack if you’re new to the trend.
The Design Collective has carefully selected and handpicked some of the easiest ways you can welcome this short hemline into your wardrobe. From lace designs to cut-out dresses to bodycon ones, there’s a lot to choose from. Whether you’re going on a holiday or enjoying time at home, whenever the sun is out–you can turn towards the mini dress for a statement summer look.
Warm Colors
From the brightest yellows to the deepest reds, sunshine shades have the power to instantly uplift a person’s mood. So you can imagine the effect a mini dress in these tones will have?
Printed Designs
Florals, polka dots, palm leaves, tie dye and the list goes on. The best way to pair quintessential summer prints is with short hemlines. Find a mini dress that features your favorite one. For an over-the-top look, style it with a large straw hat!
Work Appropriate
If you’re under the impression that mini dresses are just for casual and party settings, then let us prove you wrong. The right mini dress can easily be styled for the office, with just a few changes. Pair it with flat closed-toe shoes and minimal accessories.
