Style Notes: Lean into the pleated miniskirt's preppy vibe by adding loafers and a roll-neck. I love the idea of wearing a woollen skirt with a matching blazer. Add gold earrings for a bit of glam and swap in socks for tights if you want to skip the bare-leg look.
A slim-fitting turtleneck is such a winter staple. Layer it under dresses or chunky knits for extra warmth.
A herringbone blazer is an easy way to elevate classic jeans and a T-shirt.
Alighieri is one of my favourite brands for chic yet classic jewellery.
Style Notes: Miniskirts aren't limited to just black and grey. Why not opt for a chic camel style like this COS iteration? Pair with stripes (of course) and polished black accessories for a Parisian take on the trend. Add a wool overcoat for cosiness.
Not yet invested in a striped sweater ahead of autumn/winter? This & Other Stories one is such a stylish option.
Style Notes: A pleated miniskirt can work so well as the foundation of a party-ready look. Wear a black box-pleat style with a sweetheart bodysuit to keep the whole outfit feeling evening-appropriate. Add '70s-inspired silver platforms and cascading earrings before completing the fit with a bright bag for a fun pop of colour.
A black body is a staple in every fashion girl's wardrobe. Wear with skirts, jeans and leather trousers.
A box-pleat skirt (or skort, in this case) is a subtler way to wear the trend.
Amazing earrings can instantly elevate an all-black party look.
Barbiecore isn't going anywhere! This hot-pink clutch is firmly on my Christmas wish list.
Style Notes: As my Instagram feed proves, pairing your mini with a shirt, knitted vest and flat knee-highs are one of the most popular ways to wear the trend this season. Plus, it can be easily recreated with items you most likely already have hanging in your wardrobe.
An oversized poplin shirt will work hard in your wardrobe year-round.
Knitted vests are so popular right now. Layer over blouses, shirts and dresses.
This mini is made from a traceable wool blend and recycled polyester.
