7 Ways to Wear Super-Short Skirts Without Tights

Your legs have been covered up for long enough!

1. Layer your mini under something sheer.

Layer a teeny tiny skirt under a sheer skirt or dress the same way you would layer a camisole or long-line bra under a sheer top.

2. Wear a bodycon miniskirt with an asymmetrical top.When one side is more covered than the other, you subconsciously place the hem somewhere in the middle — like taking the average of the two lengths.

3. Go for more of a menswear-inspired look.

Try wearing your micro mini with a blazer and a collared shirt or sporty T, untucked so just a little piece of the skirt sticks out underneath. The look will still be sexy, but the general tomboy-ness of it will make your sky-high skirt feel a little more casual and down-to-earth.

4. Wear your miniskirt under a long jacket.If you feel like your butt is in danger of slipping out of the bottom of your super short skirt, just throw on a long jacket, like a lightweight cotton trench, and wear it open so you can still show off your legs in the front while still being covered in the back.

5. Wear your mini with a bodysuit.There's a big difference between flashing the bottom of a bodysuit and flashing your actual underwear. That said, if this level of tush exposure leaves you feeling anxious, you can always replace your skirt with a skort for fuller coverage.

6. Wear it with casual flats.Sneakers or flat booties are great for helping downplay an aggressively short miniskirt, especially when styled with other casual pieces like T-shirts and denim jackets.

7. Layer a miniskirt over a shift or shirtdress.Just make sure the skirt is thick enough that the wrinkles in the fabric underneath don’t show through.
