30 Sustainable Mini Skirts For Summer 2022

The summer solstice was just a few days ago, and one of the pieces you’ll see a lot in summer 2022, is a mini skirt. Mini skirts first made an appearance in the 60s but the 2022 version is more inspired by the early 2000s: low-waisted and very, very short. It seems a more fitting name for the mini skirt this year, is micro-mini. They are as tiny as possible. Not everyone will feel comfortable wearing a skirt that’s nearly the size of a belt, so I’ve compiled a list of ethical and wearable options that you can also continue wearing after this season if you do a bit of layering. 

This list has 30 skirts that are short and some even very short, but still wearable. And when the summer is over, you can layer the skirts with tights and a long coat as we transition back to the fall and winter. As always, all of these skirts are from brands that put effort into making the production process of their items as eco-friendly as possible. You can read about the sustainability efforts of each brand by clicking on the links below the pictures. Visit the Brand List page to see the full list of sustainable brands all over the world.

If you don’t mind showing some skin and want to wear a micro-mini low-waisted skirt to recreate the Y2K style, try finding one on secondhand shopping platforms like Depop and Vinted, or travel around your country or city and visit all thrift stores until you find the perfect tiny skirt.

Now let’s get to this list. Let me know if you’ll be wearing a mini (or micro) this summer!
