It’s the season of the skirt but will you
choose the midi, the mini or the maxi?
We show you how to wear the 6 hottest styles.

Effortless, luxe and laid-back, this leather mini is a far cry from the flashy body-con designs of the past. Team with relaxed tailoring and a slouchy knit to keep it chic.
