Summer means it’s time to get rid of our comfortable knits and turtlenecks to make space for flowy
dresses and crop tops. But with all the usual summer clothes we also bring back a friend from the
past. From the mid-2000s, to be precise. As seen on the Spring/Summer 2022 runway, designers
bring back micro miniskirts, the tiniest skirts you have seen, and the perfect piece to elevate your
y2k fit. Maybe not the most comfortable outfit, but a fashion statement that shows who you are and
what you are about. TikTok and our favourite celebrity’s Instagram feeds have become indispensable
for these incredibly tiny skirts. Here are our favourite micro skirt Instagram looks:
We start with a bang! UK designer Mowalola returned to fashion week and presented their
“Burglarwear”, inspired by an examination of what it takes to steal. One of their most breath-taking
looks is the acid yellow barely-there leather fit. The micro skirt is scaringly short, with longer
applications on the sides. The skirt is connected to a wide stripe with a zip that goes up the body and
ends in a high collar, showing incredibly much skin. This outfit is accessorized with black leather
over-knee boots and a bag with a red strap. Definitely not an everyday look, but cool and edgy,
nonetheless.
Influencer Cannelle is a real Insta baddie. Her outfits scream y2k and are an inspiration. In her recent
look, the beauty is wearing a black pleated micro skirt embellished with eyelets and a red spider web
embroidered to the back. She paired it with an orange crocket bra top, white socks and nylon puffy
ankle boots. A silver choker around her neck and star chains in her hair finish this unique look.
The Miu Miu micro skirt has been everywhere. It’s an absolute y2k celebrity staple, from Hailey
Bieber to Nicole Kidman wearing this itsy-bitsy skirt. Euphoria star Sydney Sweeny wore the Miu Miu
skirt to the MTV Movie and TV Awards and blessed us with beautiful photos of her look on
Instagram. She wears the pink low-rise Micro skirt with a side slit over her left leg and black belt
details, in combination with a see-through cropped button-down shirt. But her chunky SILVER
platform heels, also by Miu Miu, were the real star of this outfit. With the silver glitter details and
diamanté heels, these shoes shine brighter than every star.
An effortless but beautiful look by Anastasia Karanikolaou. She wears a ruched white micro skirt by
Meshki, with diamanté straps at the waist. The satin finish of the skirt gives her a sleek and elegant
look, perfect for celebrating her 25th birthday. With the diamanté cowl neck halter top, also by
Meshki, Anastasia shows off luscious skin and adds even more glamour. Her high and sleek ponytail
shows off the big silver hoop earrings. Because of her injury, Anastasia paired her outfit with white
sneakers and white tennis socks. A beautiful look that is easy to recreate for your next night out.
Glamour and glory – that is what Flo Millie’s look communicates. The singer wears a black micro skirt
in a subtle zebra print with a matching top with a knot in the front. Accessories are a thick pearl
choker, statement rings on both hands and black flip-flop heels. A simple look that catches
everyone’s gaze.
Bershka Ruffled satin mini skirt
Influencer Kenza Boutrif is sporting a head-to-toe Diesel look, combining two magnificent trends:
denim and micro skirts. From the blue striped top with Diesel plaque to the yellowish micro skirt and
the baby blue wool coat – this fit is perfection and a dream for every fashion lover. She accessorised
this look with knee-high denim heels and a Louis Vuitton 2005 Neo Speedy in denim look. An
ensemble from heaven.
If minimalism is not your thing, this mini skirt outfit is perfect for you. Musician Deta Black combines
different styles and materials to create a unique and head-turning outfit that we wouldn’t have
thought about. She wears a cropped jumper with a brown mini skirt with the print “Miniskirt”.
Message received! White fishnet stockings, knee-high boots with eyelets and studs, white sunglasses
and a classic black Channel bag finish off this chaotic but stylish look.
OGBFF Mini Skirt
All black with a pop of yellow! Another Mowalola outfit that meets the criteria for a hot girl summer
look. All we can see is Micro! The pleated leather micro skirt, with the yellow branded patch on the
left side, is low-waisted to meet our beloved y2k aesthetic. The skirt is so tiny that you can see the
black underwear straps and the model’s back. With the sleeveless button-down shirt, this outfit
almost gets a sophisticated look. Styled with the micro Mowalola Bundle Handbag in Yellow
perfectly adds to the micro aesthetic.
