DOs & DONTs - Rules of Skirts

Summer is in the air, so it’s time to pull out all those miniskirts, which you had discarded for the winter, from your wardrobe! But pulling off the mini can be hard work, simply because it is such a bold style statement, and little mistakes in styling can easily result in a hot mess! But don’t worry – we at BLING STATION have you all covered. Just follow these simple dos and don’ts, and you will be all ready to look super trendy in your mini!

 

1. Don’t: Wear an over-exposed top

Miniskirts are all about showing off some leg. So when you wear a top which also exposes skin in the upper half of your body, your look becomes somewhat trashy. That’s why as a general rule, it is wise to say no to off-shoulder tops, cropped tops, spaghetti straps, halter tops or tank tops, when you are wearing a mini skirt. You can go for cool bangles that give you an edgy contemporary look. Buy bangles online at Bling Station. 

 

2. Do: Choose the proper length

Many times the mistake made with minis is just choosing the wrong length! Yes, even miniskirts come in different lengths, and choosing a length you’re comfortable with is most important. In general, what length will look flattering on you will depend on your height and butt – shorter lengths can make petite girls appear taller, slightly longer lengths look nicer on girls with heavier bottoms?

 

3. Do: Consider a jacket

Adding a jacket to your mini skirt ensemble can give much-needed sophistication to your mini look. Miniskirts were invented in the 1960s by London girls who began to shorten their skirt lengths as an act of rebellion – so they are essentially super casual street wear. If you want to make your skirt look pusher, jackets are the right way to go. Say yes to summer jackets.

 

4. Do: Be careful with slits

A misplaced or a deep slit on a mini skirt can make or break the look. If your mini skirt has a slit, ensure that it is not too high, or it can look like you’re exposing too much! And you certainly don’t want that! You can look for imitation jewellery online to go with that slit skirt and give it a more elegant look. A pair of paste diamond earrings sounds perfect. 

 

5. Don’t: Go overboard with your shoes

Some people assume that a mini skirt always needs to be paired with heels or stilettos. But let us tell you this is a big myth! In fact, the wrong heel can easily make a mini look somewhat distasteful. Which is not to say that one shouldn’t ever wear heels with minis? But merely that one needs to be careful! Tastefully done, heels with minis can also look super charming.

 

6. Don’t: Forget the context!

Context is always important for styling minis, so please keep that in mind. If you are wearing your mini in a more formal, or a business casual setting, it is perhaps wise to throw in a pair of stockings or tights with that. For a more casual look, go bare legs and wear Bling station’s designer anklets. 

 

7. Do: Choose the right skirt fit for your body type

Considering your body type is essential when you want to choose the right skirt for yourself. If you’ve a big butt, you’ll probably want to avoid tight fitting minis, unless your butt is what you want to show off. A-line fits also tend to look awkward if you have ample thighs. You can also try widely fitted, flowy minis if you actually have a smaller behind, and want to make it look larger.
