Contemporary fashion brands such as Mach & Mach, Sergio Hudson and Guage81 have taken note, creating sexy mini skirt suits featuring cut-outs, tie details and thigh slits. Heritage designer luxury labels like Dior and Chanel – who helped make skirt suits iconic in the 1950s – are also reinterpreting the iconic look, with their own modern touches.
So where do you wear a mini skirt suit in 2022? Previously a staple of afternoon tea get-togethers and committee fundraisers (think Mad Men’s Betty Drapper or Sex and the City’s Charlotte York), the 2022 mini skirt suit can be worn anywhere – from a night out dancing with girlfriends to a weekend brunch. For more modern styling, try pairing it with a bralette or white t-shirt, or with a casual shoe, like a sneaker or platform fisherman sandal, for the ultimate off-duty look.
