WE'VE been celeb-spotting this week and there has been a whole bunch of ladies rocking micro mini skirts out and about. 

Since Miu Miu’s ’22 show introduced us to the viral itsy-bitsy skirts, we have all been obsessed with trying them out on the fashion desk.

Celebs are jumping on board with the trend and thankfully we don’t have to spend the dollar on designer pieces as the high-street is giving us plenty of options to choose from. 

Whether you prefer a traditional pleated mini skirt or if simple denim is more your bag, there are loads of great affordable options.

See celeb inspo below!

I mean let's face it, anything that Hailey Bieber wears, instantly sells out! 

Hailey was spotted wearing this tiny-skirt-big-coat combo in NYC and we just can’t get enough… Bieber is the ultimate cool girl!

Top Tip - swap the socks out for a sheer black pair of tights to make it work for winter.

Revisit your school uniform because according to Alexa, box pleated skirts are the way forward. 

The television presenter and model was snapped wearing this preppy ensemble to the Simone Rocha SS24 show last month. 

Short skirts and long jackets are a match made in heaven, the perfect combination adds an extra layer of warmth and makes the whole outfit seem much more grown up. 

Top Tip - this black leather option is durable (wipe clean friendly = big tick) and super versatile.

Emma Watson stepped out at Milan Fashion Week in the chicest look which included a cosy boxy white knit and of course, a navy mini skirt which was decorated with gold buttons. This A-line shape screams ‘sophistication at its finest’ and we’re here for it!

Who said miniskirts can't be chic?

Top Tip - accessorise this skirt and sweater look with a white shoulder bag and a pair of nude court heels, an effective way to infuse an added dose of polish to this look.

Pussycat dolls singer Ashley Roberts was pictured leaving Heart Radio Station in a Katherine Hamnett charity Choose Love T-shirt which she tucked into an A-line faux leather mini-skirt. 

We’re 100% loving this look, the monochrome tones make it feel intentional but effortless. 

Top Tip - knee-high boots offer some warmth and we’ve swapped in a graphic tee from River Island to do the hard work and add a small pop of colour.

Model Heidi Klum was seen also sporting the mini-skirt look as she arrived at America’s Got Talent filming this season. 

The ‘Y2K’ off-duty denim look is trending on social media and we’re loving this double waistband detail - we’ve found an almost identical copy at Zara which you can shop below. 

Top Tip - if you’re feeling brave, experiment with double denim. It’s super quick to style and an oversized shirt looks great tucked into a denim mini-skirt.
