At fashion week, the skirts I see on catwalks have been getting shorter for ages, but it's only in the past year that I've really noticed skirts in the wild, the ones that live on pavements and in offices and on trains, following suit.
The return of the miniskirt has been happening on the catwalk for three years, at least. Back in 2021, as soon as Paris fashion week came roaring back to life post-pandemic, Dior did a whole collection based on the miniskirt.
Things started to rev up in 2022, when Miu Miu came up with a skirt so short that the pocket linings peeked out from below the knicker-height hem, which caused such a sensation that the Fashion Museum in Bath announced that the Miu Miu miniskirt... was named Dress of the Year 2022.
