Tiered mini skirts are the 00s trend that nobody saw coming – these are 9 of our favourites

These blink-and-you’ll-miss-them skirts might have been filed in your brain under beachwear but they’re back in a big way for summer.

As we prepare to enter the summer of skin – something the Cannes Film Festival is already hinting at – there are a few staples that must be invested in before we step any further over the warm-weather threshold.

The easiest way to flash the flesh without veering too much into 00s WAG territory is to embrace a tiered ra-ra mini skirt, the short that’s both fun and flirty.

These blink-and-you’ll-miss-them skirts might have been filed in your brain under beachwear and exclusively beachwear, but they are, in fact, having a renaissance of their own this summer, as brands increasingly make way for the return of all things 00s. 

For when the sun is shining and the weather is golden, there’s nothing like the feeling of slipping your pins into a mini skirt and taking it for a spin. These nine are a perfect mini place to start for those dipping their toes for the first time.
