The dainty miniskirt found its base in fashion history from 20th century science-fiction as the liberal kilt of the future. We’re keeping it brief with 5 curated looks centering on this Mulberry plaid miniskirt.

Spotted on posters of 1950s sci-fi movies like “Forbidden Planet” and “Flight to Mars”, the miniskirt worn by Hollywood damsels became a bold staple during the “Swinging London” era of 1960s. Now, let’s raise the hemline with a how-to of styling this daring garment.

Oh yes, as if! We’re taking notes from the chic Cher Horowitz from the coming-of-age film, “Clueless” in this preppy ensemble that’s on point with pastel colours and gold details. The soft green shade of Bally’s Sofy sling bag with the inscription, “A place called elsewhere” gives the perfect romantic touch.

Combine the effervescent conservatism of Jackie Kennedy with the classy novelty of supermodel Twiggy and you’ll get this traveller outfit that’s easy on the eyes and for walks. The military green crop top by Salvatore Ferragamo is an homage to the midriff-bare tops that Paris Hilton paired with her miniskirts in the early 2000s.

Punk acts favoured the mini back in the 1970s and we’re certain they would agree to this look, especially with the all-black Dior’s Diorama chain-bag. Buckle up this strappy metallic stiletto from Alexander McQueen for that lethal yet sexy vibe while walking into a gig.

We almost squealed in delight when we saw the Mickey Mouse inspired Gucci handbag from their spring/summer 2019 collection. Our excitement went up the ante with the matching Minnie Mouse gold pink bracelet by Swarovski. Who said cartoons are for kids when you can carry this look way past fairy godmother’s curfew?

Short skirts are no longer reserved as casual since its incorporation into the wardrobes of career driven women from the 1990s. The artistic tie-dye effect of Piaget’s pink dial is further accentuated by the splash of black and green of the Sidonie handbag from Prada, toning down the formality of workwear.
