Mini Dresses for Women

Mini Dresses

Mini dresses, as the name suggests, are characterized by their short length. This of course makes them revealing and draws the focus to the legs. These short dresses come in a variety of designs and shapes, so that you can create different looks, from playful outfits to formal ensembles.

The mini look: once scandalous, now mainstream

First introduced in the late 1960s by the English fashion designer Mary Quant, the miniskirt and minidress initially provoked outrage. Little by little, the look has become established and accepted, so that the mini dress has now become a recognized fashion piece and an absolute must-have.

The longest mini dresses reach to the knees, but most are usually much shorter. This makes them very flattering, perfect for showing off slim, toned legs. The taller the woman, the longer her legs appear. But there is nowhere to hide. When buying a minidress, make sure that it still covers part of the thigh when walking or sitting.

Quick tip: you can easily test this by sitting on a chair or squatting down and checking if the dress rides up.

If your mini dress is too daring and you don't want to show quite so much skin, you can wear it in the style of a long top or tunic with leggings or leather leggings. Sheer tights also conceal any small flaws and create the appearance of perfect legs. High heels also create the appearance of longer legs. Mini dresses also look great with summery flip flops or ballet flats, as well as in a stylish clash with chunky boots.

When the weather is cooler, just throw on a denim jacket or leather jacket. Mini dresses are versatile and easy to combine, and there are hardly any limits on how to wear them.

But it's not just accessories that create different looks. These short dresses themselves come in a variety of styles. They are often straight cut or slightly flared and flouncy. Cocktail dresses or tunics can also be found in the ranks of the mini dresses.

The fabrics are just as diverse as the cuts: they range from silk to jersey, from leather to lace. Whether you opt for an elegant version or a romantic dress is purely a matter of taste.

Turn heads with a mini dress

On a summer holiday, at a garden party or out clubbing – mini dresses create a sensational look that catches everyone's eye. If you want to show off your legs in style with a mini dress, you'll find a large selection of different models at Breuninger, for example from PATRIZIA PEPE. At the office or on formal occasions, however, you should avoid the minis and go for a knee-length dress.
