Are you a die-hard miniskirted gal? Do you love your little skirts but live in a cooler climate? We’ve got a solution for you: layer up on cool socks, over-the-knee boots, and coverall coats to give you the look you want with the warmth you need.

Layer a Little

Socks, tights, and legwarmers can all work with minis when the weather gets chilly. If your legs are on the slimmer side, grab a pair of over-the-knee scrunch socks in a subdued shade and pair them with booties or shorter boots.

Tip: Textured tights play a big part in miniskirt layering. Stock up on colors and wear more than one pair at a time to add interesting opacity to the look. Grays, browns, and black all work for that look, and if you don’t want to wear double tights around your middle, simply don a pair of stockings over tights.

Get Yourself a Pair of Primo Over-the-Knee Boots

Look for designer or quality boots that feature a warm lining in sherpa or cashmere. Pull em straight up over your knees for additional warmth, and choose a skirt with a fuzzy interior instead of a slick one that can quickly become cool.

Tip: Always wear warm socks underneath your boots. Why not? No one can see them anyway. If you love your luxury and can’t bear ugly stuff even out of sight, find a pair of intricately patterned ones or ones that are incredibly thin and warm.

Rag and Bone Empire Coat

Get a Mid-Length Jacket

Slip into a luxuriously cozy coat that hits right above your usual mini to keep yourself toasty. On cold days, shrug off that cropped coat and look for something a little more substantial. With that much leg showing, your look won’t suffer one bit.
