Miniskirts for Curvy Hourglass Shapes?

| Permalink
Q.  I'm 5'5" with curves and an hourglass shape. Do you think a miniskirt would look good on me, or am I too curvy for that kind of skirt?
-Mini Me


A.  You have the perfect body to rock a miniskirt! Your hourglass silhouette is perfectly balanced, and your curves are in all the right places to wear a short skirt that shows off great legs and curves. Go for a solid-colored mini in a denim, neutral, or trendy bright color, and you'll be ready to rule summer.
