The meaning of the term miniskirt has gone through a bit of a metamorphosis lately. You can blame thank brands like Miu Miu for changing its definition to include what most of us would call micro skirts. Or borderline nonexistent silhouettes. So when we began our quest for the best summer miniskirts, we made the conscious decision to go to great lengths to accommodate everyone's comfort level.
If you're ready to embrace shorter hemlines, the selections are pretty significant. Catch a wave with Prada's printed leather mini, 16Arlington's Delta creation or Staud's tidal wave design. Reformation also offers several barely-there numbers, including a low-waist silk skirt and a subtly floral embroidered take. Then there's Mango's spin on the red hot balloon hem craze.
Feeling shy? Once again see Staud, this time focus on its orange Margaux linen skirt with white cut-out flowers decorating the hem. Embrace the high and the low with 3.1 Phillip Lim's Flounce Mini Skirt. Or Alaïa's cut-out cotton take with a high waist. Emilia Wickstead's fresh blue and purple floral pick is perfect for anyone looking for a little more coverage.
