THE MATCHY MINI

Time to put those matching sweats to rest—spring/summer 2022 sees the dominance of the miniskirt worn with a coordinating top or jacket. The effect evokes the polish of a skirt suit, but these are decidedly not your mother’s skirt suits and twinsets. Even when presented as suits, the overarching mood is youthful—as seen at Moschino, Chanel and Dior. But it is the designers who opted out of that classic framework that make the biggest splash—see Givenchy’s pistachio ruffles, Lanvin’s eggplant leather and Dolce&Gabbana’s animal-print jacquard.
