hi beauties, welcome back to my channel today we are going to be chatting about mini skirts
this trend is everywhere and i'm here to give you a little bit of a background and how
we can make this work for us you know first i wanted to say a huge thank you to rival for
sponsoring this video all the fits i'm going to be showing you will be linked in the description box
okay so there's no denying how many interesting trends found their way back from the time machine
to our times and i feel like you all you know exactly what i'm talking about that y2k surge
of trends coming up is truly remarkable we cannot forget the visible tongue strings peeking
out of your pants the low rise and now the mini skirts so when i first saw the mini skirt trends
resurfacing the internet mostly on my tick tock feeds i was like is this really happening but
then in the high fashion world there are talents out there that decided to pick it up and truly
bring it out to all the fashion lovers and i'm specifically talking about youtube prada who
brought it into the runway with the prada show and the mew mew show meow meow spring
22 truly put the mini skirts on the map for me so the real question is is it going to stick so the
mini skirts first came to popularity in the 1960s when a british fashion designer and a style icon
marie quandt brought it into play mary quan was so inspired by the women of the streets of london and
decided to raise her hemlines on her designs their supermodel twiggy was one of the first
style icons to hop on the mini skirt trend and became the unofficial child of this movement
now it becomes really interesting because the 60s was also a time of new liberations and new
freedoms for women it was a time where the birth control came into the market there were more laws
to protect women so women and their definition of a woman in society moved from just being this
domestic figure to being more open and sexual and free so the miniskirts became a representation of
what the younger generation has been feeling and going through and representing with this
new movement and then we're hopping into the 90s this is where the miniskirt became shorter we had
style icons like pamela anderson spice girls naomi campbell and kate moss wearing that tiniest little
it blew up obviously once you have such influential beautiful women wearing something
you know the designers are rushing to get it solidified in their collection so you had brands
like prada and dolce gabbana just taking that miniskirt and really creating a full collection
around it and solidifying it as the iconic item of that time then we're hopping into
the 2000s i feel like this is something where i remember it so i feel like most of you will
remember it i mean paris hilton and then tom ford took that inspiration even further and
created an even smaller belt-like skirt and made it into an it item in for summer 2003. my mom did
not allow me to wear it so i had major foam i actually think that it is no longer reserved
for only the young and the slender in today's time and age of you know body positivity and seeing all
these beautiful bodies out there wearing things that before we i feel like never felt comfortable
wearing it i think that it's really empowering to bring the miniskirt in a different way back
so it's all about the way you style it and how comfortable you feel with it it can still be
super empowering really sexy really fun if you take it to your style direction so for me
i would definitely love and you will see me wearing the mini skirt with something that
is maybe a bit heavier or bigger or looser on the top so a sweater or maybe some combat boots
oversized blazer with maybe tall boots it's all about working with these proportions
and for me because i love to play on the feminine and masculine style i like to do
the same when i have a sexy item to balance it off with something a bit bigger a bit more
you know covered up i personally love the look of a mini with a turtleneck so everything on the top
is closed and then you have the legs working for you and i think that some of the examples i've
shown you with the dresses it's so easy to find based on the silhouette minis that can work for
you during the day but can take you to maybe like an early dinner or a night out it's a really fun
silhouette to play with and i really wanted to show you samples of dresses specifically because
sometimes when you get into the trend it's hard to take one piece that's like just a mini skirt
on its own and pair a lot of different things to it so i wanted to show you kind of an easy styles
in dresses form that will take you into different occasions it depends on how you like to dress
where you're going what the weather is like so the final verdict here is truly to wear what makes you
feel empowered what makes you feel good because trends are not trends unless they work for you you
know what i mean i hope i got to cover a little bit of everything here and i love showing you
these dresses from revolve that to me are an easy go-to for every occasion i am linking them all in
the description box are you gonna be hopping on this mini skirt trend or are you gonna wait it
out i'm very curious to know thank you guys so much for watching and i will see you next time
