How to wear a mini skirt in winter (without freezing to death)
In terms of winter fashion, we’re really more mind-over-matter kind of people because, after all, what’s a little wind chill against some thermal underwear? If you’re like us and are reluctant to retire your leg-bearing clothing for the season, try these insider tricks to wear your mini skirt all year round, including the all-consuming depths of winter.
Trick no.1: Thigh-high boots
Taking YouTuber Mary Leest as inspiration, pair your mini skirt with a pair of thigh-high boots and wool socks. Additionally, if your boots have enough room, throw on a pair of leg warmers to keep your calves toasty. Nobody has to know!

Trick no.4: Investment leather
Another reason to invest in that leather jacket you’ve had your eye on is the all-season wearability of it. Take inspiration from Stassi Schroeder for your winter leather-on-leather look.
Trick no.5: Mini meet maxi
German influencer Caro Daur has the right idea with pairing her mini with a long military-style coat. Throw on a pair of knee-high boots and a high-neck sweater to complete the look.
