The spring-summer 2026 collection transports us to the familiar and exposed legs. The realm of fashion seeks a balance in simplicity anew – alongside the timeless white blouse and the ever-tempting silky dress, the miniskirt makes its comeback. It reasserts its standing as an emblem of autonomy, vitality, and feminine assurance. Consequently, the leading trend for summer 2026 is defined by three labels, each offering distinct takes on miniskirts – which we’ll explore further.
Celine’s draped miniskirt
Following a successful entrance, Michael Ryder unveiled his sophomore collection for Celine, reaffirming that preppy fashion can possess an edge. If the previous show saw the designer’s revival of skinny jeans, he’s now reigniting the miniskirt – though with a singular spin. Its form evokes a piece of material casually looped around the torso – ease and self-reliance in one gesture. Pristine, deep hues dominate the collection – scarlet, azure, gold. Suggested pairings? A woven polo shirt and a pair of understated derbies, lending a touch of British formality with a playful dash of nonchalance.

Dior’s denim miniskirt
Indigo, rose, or sand – the key aspect is its composition of denim. In Jonathan Anderson’s rendition for Dior, the miniskirt adopts a micro length, achieving intense brevity and impact. Its surface conveys a gentle weathering, bestowing the style with persona and rendering it versatile – suitable across seasons and cities. For daytime – pair with a white blouse and court shoes; for evening – a blazer and stiletto heels. This combination provides a visual elongation of the legs, cultivating a flawless vertical line, and adding an air of chic dynamism.

Courrèges miniskirt in the style of the 1960s
Nicolas Di Felice persists in revealing the essence of the Courrèges fashion house and welcomes a return to the nineteen-sixties. “I referenced the archives extensively, most notably from 1964-1965, the epoch of the mini’s inception,” shares the creative. And this sentiment is palpable in each figure: truncated skirts preserve the architectonics of the tailoring, crisp contours, and the characteristic belt accentuating the waist. The selection of colors includes timeless navy and pristine cerulean – hues reminiscent of the French Riviera and perpetual youthfulness.
