1. Day to Night Look

This creator styled one mini skirt in three versatile ways. The first look with the oversized race car jacket is a casual outfit for the daytime. Fashion stylist, Ellie Witt, turns to an oversized bomber jacket with a mini skirt to play with unique proportions. To transform the mini skirt outfit into nighttime wear, the creator swapped the race car jacket for a leather jacket. Add accessories in the same black color for a monochromatic look.

2. Jean Jacket and Mini Skirt

If you love sticking to a capsule wardrobe, you can never go wrong with a versatile piece in your wardrobe like a jean jacket. By adding the denim jacket with a mini skirt, it creates some variety in your look with different textures. Pair a white or black tee underneath the jean jacket for a casual daytime look.

3. Polished and Preppy

From loafers to button-down cardigans, this creator is all about the preppy style with these mini skirt outfit combinations. Whether you have an old cardigan lying around in your closet or a vintage white polo, style these tops with a mini skirt for the ultimate preppy outfit. For wearing loafers with a mini skirt, Witt recommends adding white ankle socks for a polished look.

4. Pleated Mini Skirt

A pleated mini skirt is a sleek staple to elevate any outfit. From the office to a nice dinner, this mini skirt style works wonders for almost any occasion. Wear it with a more structured top like the creator’s sweater for a tailored look. Add your favorite minimal accessories to finish off the ensemble.

5. White Mini Skirt

With warmer weather in the spring and summer seasons, it’s a chance to swap the timeless black mini skirt for a white mini skirt. This creator paired a white mini skirt with a blue and white button-down for a preppier look. When it comes to white, look for linen fabric so it’s lighter on those hot days. Opt for a mini skirt with shorts underneath, especially in the warmer months when you’re out and about.

6. Wardrobe Staples

Basics are some of the most important pieces in your closet. Pair your favorite white t-shirt and black mini skirt for a casual outfit. This creator opted for sneakers with this ensemble, but this look is very versatile and can be worn with loafers, boots, sandals, and more. Finish off with minimal jewelry and a shoulder bag to complete the look.

7. Denim Skirt

A denim skirt can be dressed up or down for day to night looks. This creator styled one denim skirt in four different ways. With the daytime outfits, the creator incorporated layering pieces such as an oversized bomber jacket and button down cardigan to create variety in the looks. Swap the casual shoes for heels for a nighttime look.

8. Mini Skirt and Tights

Even when the weather starts to cool, you can still sport your favorite mini skirt outfits. This creator is bundled up with a sweater, scarf, and tights with the mini skirt. “I love wearing a mini skirt with super sheer tights,” says Witt. The very sheer tights allow you to wear a mini skirt with the colder weather yet minimally show the tights.
