Okay not everyone can wear a mini skirt. There are those that should and do and they do it well. Then there is those who try to wear one but really shouldn't or do not wear one at all well. Now there is some things you should do to make sure you wear a mini skirt the right way. This hub will help you.

1. Give your legs a boost.

Bare legs - waxed

Tanned legs - the fake tan is fine (use fake tan or leg makeup); but note that in Asia, the tanned look is not considered to be good with minis.

Nude tights - these are good if you wear a closed toe shoe

If you don't want to wear stockings, but would like to enhance the look of your legs immediately, blend some sheer highlighting powder or lotion up the front of your legs. This will make your legs look thinner, and more toned. Start just above your ankle and blend up along your shinbone, avoid the knee and continue the line up the front of your thigh. Make sure the line is very well blended so that there is a subtle sheen. Do not use highlighter that is too glittery, or colored.

Fishnet tights; or patterned tights

Over-the-knee socks

Opaque tights - for women who like opaque and for women in their 50s and over Choose black, chocolate brown, plums and steel greys for the colours. Leave lighter colours to the teenage crowd as they tend to emphasise larger legs.

2. Choose the right look. Not all minis are equal. Some have more space than others. The classic A-line and bias cuts flatter most women, whilst the tighter variety tends to work best on the long-legged, slim, younger wearer.

A tight mini tends to be favoured by younger wearers.

A flowing mini creates a softer, more romantic feel.

Older wearers are likely to feel more comfortable in minis that give a little room to move and flow rather than cling. Consider such choices as kilts, wraps and pleats. The Early Show advice also suggests that darker colours are better for older women wearing minis and for office wear.

3. Wear the right shoes. Experiment in the mirror and see what looks best with your mini. Here are some suggestions:

Wedge shoes work well because their heaviness counteracts the shortness of the mini skirt and provides an "anchor".

Pointed flat shoes look fabulous with mini skirts too.

Boots of differing lengths.

High heels with the right heel and wearer.

Try to avoid wearing shoes that are too dainty or delicate, as these will make your legs look larger.

Flip flops can work. It depends on the skirt and the occasion.

4. Consider the top. Mini skirts benefit from wearing the correct top. T-shirts tend to work well with most minis. For more elegant wear, a blazer or jacket is a good choice. However, women with larger chests may not feel as comfortable wearing a mini as the shortness of the skirt can sometimes over-emphasise the chest size.
