Why does miniskirt take over our summer 2026 wardrobe?
Miniskirts were everywhere on the Croisette during the 2026 Cannes Film Festival, from Charlotte Gainsbourg to Léa Seydoux, Charlotte Lebon and Diane Kruger. Also on the catwalks at Céline and Dior during the Spring/Summer 2026 Fashion Week, miniskirts are having a major moment. It has also been thrust into the spotlight by style icons, like Hailey Bieber, Rihanna or Margot Robbie, who wore to promote the sultry adaptation of Wuthering Heights (2026). Available in an endless array of styles, this wardrobe staple has been reimagined time and again. Numéro has selected four irresistible variations.
The trendiest miniskirts to adopt this summer
Pleated miniskirt, or tenniscore spirit at its highest
As tenniscore is trending now, the pleated miniskirt is unmatched as far as comfort and lightness are concerned. While Miu Miu has made it the emblematic piece of the house, other labels are reinterpreting it their own way. Take for instance the sportswear white version by Sporty & Rich or the chic, strap-detailed design by Sandro.
Leather miniskirt for a rock’n’roll vibe
From Simone Ashley, star of The Devil Wears Prada 2 (2026), to Miley Cyrus, leather miniskirts have won over more than a few celebrities… This season, you can find them everywhere, from & Other Stories to Massimo Dutti, although our favourite piece is at KNWLS. Crafted from aged leather, the design is elevated by two oversized front pockets that give it a unique charm.
Colourful, bold and pop
In addition to micro shorts, slip dresses, tiny handbags and oversized sunglasses, colouful miniskirts are summer staples. Whether with psychedelic prints at Pucci or in candy pink at Jacquemus, it is the perfect option for strolling through festivals, running along the beach, or enjoying festive nights out in style.
Denim miniskirt for a slightly insolent look
A washed-out, Y2K-inspired style at H&M, dark raw denim for a more classic look at Wradrobe. NYC… The denim miniskirt is a summer staple. At Balenciaga, the piece has been revamped through Demna’s signature Cagole design.
