Spring 2023 fashion trend: the mini

The Miu Miu effect, coupled with the Y2K obsession of recent seasons, continued to solidify the miniskirt as one of the star silhouettes of the spring 2023 season.

A year ago, for spring 2022, Miu Miu presented one of its most most viral to date with a new version of the American preppy. “It was not the usual WASP-y New England fare, but preppy clothing for the global warming years, with sweaters, blazers and collared shirts cropped to reveal torsos – or shrunk to the waists of bikini tops. Some of the skirts and pants were just as tiny. They were cut so short that the exposed pocket linings flapped as the models walked. WWD London bureau chief Samantha Conti wrote in her review of the show.

But it was a super cropped pleated skirt paired with a super cropped cable sweater look and equally short layered shirt that became the poster child for the new revival of the Y2K miniskirt trend that followed.

A year later, for spring 2023, the mini trend continues to dominate. "The Miu Miu collection, less viral and more cerebral in its rather drab colors, references to military and service uniforms, and its multitude of bulging utility pockets. The latter appeared on low utility belts that were only worn occasionally as miniskirts.WWD International Editor Miles Socha wrote in his review of the Miu Miu show, where the miniskirt continued full force but with a utilitarian twist this time around.

Alberta Ferretti, Courrèges, Koché and Elena Velez were among many brands that also exhibited a directional approach the mini-trend. GmbH, Dion Lee and Ludovic de Saint Sernin featured the same short skirt style in their menswear offerings, making it clear that the miniskirt is an optimal genderless choice for the spring 2023 season.
