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!
