Mini Skirts You Can Wear To The Office

Shrunken hemlines refresh the trouser-to-suit pairing. Here are the keys to this macro-to-micro matching.

ONE TRUE PAIR

Blazers and skirts in hues that match.

JIL SANDER

1 JACQUEMUS twill blazer 2 P.A.R.O.S.H mini skirt 3 GUCCI ankle boot 4 SAINT LAURENT leather tote bag 5 SAINT LAURENT cropped jacket 6 MONOT mini skirt 7 ISABEL MARANT boots 8 ALGHIERI earrings 9 COPERNI bag

Jil Sander reinvents a classic double-breasted blazer with a tulip shaped hip, adding curves to an otherwise boxy silhouette. If you want a quirky option, Coperni’s version comes with a knotted breast detail instead of lapels. Another element to look out for: a split skirt that can take you from boardroom-to-beach in a snap.

CHECKED OUT

Start the season with a nod to the ’90s.

VERSACE

1 MANOKHI choker 2 SACAI + JEAN PAUL GALTIER shirt 3 BALENCIAGA bag 4 ALEXANDER MCQUEEN knee-high boots 5 THOM BROWNE double-breasted Jacket 6 MUGLER corset 7 BALENCIAGA tote bag 8 STELLA MCCARTNEY over-the-knee boots 9 VERSACE blazer

Created 27 years ago, Clueless’s Cher Horowitz’s plaid Dolce & Gabbana set was a striking fitted and abbreviated match. The 2020s rework has moved away from the body in an anti-fit that’s more cozy than constricting. See the checked pattern anew with Versace’s houndstooth iterations: a hot pink pattern clash between a macro blazer and a micro mini, and a fiery red pairing that has its graphic checks disrupted by fuzz, frays, and fringes.

VERSACE

BIGGER IS BETTER

Decades after its mainstream introduction, shouldered blazers still make for a dramatic entrance.

AMBUSH

1 SANDRO Blazer 2 VALENTINO mini skirt 3 SAINT LAURENT bag 4 MANOKHI choker 5 MUGLER blazer 6 LOW CLASSIC mini skirt 7 NODALETTO Bulla pumps 8 OAKLEY sunglasses 9 NUMBERING earrings

Grace Jones still got it right: sized-up shoulders are emblematic of power and boldness. The season’s constructions show off another take on the blazer dress: extra wide at Dolce & Gabbana, and fashioned into a shrunken trench at No. 21. The buttons are lost completely at Dion Lee, making for a clean and sleek front that emphasizes the look’s volume.
