Short Skirts

Short skirts and mini skirts for women

A short skirt is the quickest way to make a tailored outfit feel younger. Forcast short skirts finish above the knee and run in sizes 4 to 18, in shapes that cover both office hours and weekends.

Choosing a short skirt

Tweed and boucle minis such as the Amal Tweed Skirt have enough structure for work when worn with a matching jacket or a plain blazer. A denim or linen chambray mini is the weekend option, and check or plain suiting sits somewhere in between. A short pencil skirt keeps the line tailored, while an A-line, tiered or asymmetric shape is softer and easier to move in.

What to wear it with

Balance a short hem with more coverage on top: a longer blazer, a fine knit tucked in, or a shirt with the sleeves rolled. Tights and ankle boots make a mini workable through winter, and in summer a flat sandal and a plain tee are all it needs. Start with jackets and blazers, then T-shirts and shoes to finish it.

Fabric and shape

Tweed and suiting hold their shape and keep a mini reading as tailoring rather than casual. Faux suede gives a heavier drape and a flatter surface. Denim and linen chambray are the most relaxed of the group, and tiered styles move more than a straight pencil cut, so they feel easier on a warm day.

How to shop

Fit on a short skirt comes down to waist and hip, so check the size guide before you order. Standard delivery is free on Australian orders over $100, and you have 30 days to return or exchange online or in store. If you would rather a longer hem, browse midi skirts or the full range of skirts.
