Micro hemlines are well and truly back, so we found the designs that you’ll actually want to wear
Whether you’re venturing on holiday or enjoying time at home, when the sun’s out to play, it pays to have a wardrobe full of seasonal items that you can wear on repeat. And for us, there’s no staple better than a mini dress for summer.
Despite being long-term lovers of the midi, the sky-high hemline craze is well and truly back. And, frankly, we’re here for it. During the SS22 shows, major fashion houses championed the micro trend.
The design house to look to for inspiration has to be Valentino and its hot pink mini dress. It’s everything we could ever dream of – a serious dose of the colour of the season and a cut-out design.
Elsewhere were the designs that are likely to cause division. Sheer, bodycon and cut-out dresses were sent down the runway by newcomers and heavyweights alike. But it was the new designer Nensi Dojaka who showcased the most showstopping of designs.
For something more low-key, turn to the likes of Jacquemus, which opted for linen, shirting, cut-out blazer dresses and, of course, bold colours. All against the backdrop of a Hawaiin beach – a recipe for a seriously dreamy collection.
But it needn’t be all trend-led. With a whole host of patterns and silhouettes on offer, there’s plenty to choose from, all of which will give off that carefree, fun look a mini dress emulates.

When it came to curating this round-up, we looked for trend-led designs but also those that could be worn year and after year. During testing, we assessed the sizing, quality of the fabric and fit. Be prepared to wear these on repeat this summer. Here’s to the micro hemline.
When it comes to finding the perfect mini dress, it is, of course, down to personal preference, and we hope we’ve curated a round-up that covers every style. If it’s a shirt dress you’re after, the Asos white cotton number is the ideal throw-on-and-go design.
But if it’s a slinky slip you’re leaning towards, it’s got to be the Omnes riviera mini dress in fuchsia pink. It taps into the dopamine dressing trend, while the backless design adds an extra element of interest. If you’re worried about its versatility, we found it easy to dress up with heels and a blazer or down with a lightweight jacket and white trainers.
