Teen Mini Skirts

Teen Mini Skirts are Fashionable

If you are a teenager, now is a great time to be alive fashion-wise. There are a tremendous amount of styles to choose from and because there are no longer any hard and fast rules to follow, you can mix and match your fashion look with ease.

Incorporating a few teen mini skirts into your wardrobe is a great place to start. There are several reasons why you’ll want to hop on board this fashion trend.

• They can be dressed up or down with accessories.
• Can be worn at a wide array of venues.
• There are a plethora of colors, fabrics and cuts to match any mood, be it sporty, playful or glamorous.

Words of Wisdom

There’s no doubt that a mini offers maximum style, but try to remember to dress with care. Some schools prohibit extremely short teen mini skirts, so check your school’s dress code before donning one to math class. Know too that these skirts garner a lot of attention, and all of it may not be welcomed. Does this mean you should shy-away from this fashion mainstay? Absolutely not! These skirts embody the fresh, young and vibrant feel of youth, and with your parents approval, embrace the mini trend while following a few of these look sharp rules:

• When shopping, sit in the skirt. Make sure that when you sit in the dressing room that the skirt doesn’t “ride-up” too high. If it’s sitting way to short on you, you’ll know it. Another trick is to raise your hands over your head. This is also a great indicator of just how short the mini will be.

• Pair your skirt with flat shoes. To be blunt, nothing screams street-walker like a super short mini paired with sky high platforms. This is not the look you are after. As a teenager, you're gorgeous, playful, sassy, smart and young. These are the characteristics your teen skirt should embody. Get the look with a cute pair of colored sneakers, a short skirt and a playful top in the summer. If it’s cold outside, look Jackie Kennedy chic in a pair of flat riding boots, tights, and a turtleneck sweater in a look-at-me flattering shade. You will look fantastic!

• You probably, being the smart lass that you are, already know this, but try not to wear your mini to church, or similar religious functions. Truth be told, it just isn’t appropriate. If you do find yourself in a pinch, however, opt for a flounced skirt with a bit of movement, like the very popular "bubble" skirts.
