" When you want to wear a micro-mini, but you&amp;#039;re worried about showing too much skin or flashing your underwear, the go-to styling trick is usually just to slap on a pair of opaque tights. But who wants to wear tights when it&amp;#039;s 85 degrees and sunny? Here are seven ways to style of even the micro-miniest of skirts without covering your legs.  1. Layer your mini under something sheer. Layer a teeny tiny skirt under a sheer skirt or dress the same way you would layer a camisole or long-line bra under a sheer top.  Clockwise from the left: Floral and Lace Dress, NASTY GAL, $41; Rose Gold Triangle Necklace, MARIA BLACK, $190; Black Lace Bralet, TOPSHOP, $44; Brown Tassel Belt, SPERRY TOP-SIDER, $48; Black Miniskirt, TOPSHOP, $32; Beaded Leather Sandals, CALYPSO ST. BARTH, $125 2. Wear a bodycon miniskirt with an asymmetrical top. When one side is more covered than the other, you subconsciously place the hem somewhere in the middle \u2014 like taking the average of the two lengths. *~*~FaShIoN mAtH~*~*   Clockwise from the top left: Black Leather Moto Jacket, MANGO, $150; Horn Pendant Necklace, STELLA &amp;amp; DOT, $49; Mint Asymmetrical Top, BCBGMAXAZRIA, $158; Gold Bar Ring, ARMANI EXCHANGE, $68; Zebra Print Miniskirt, FASHION UNION, $13; Silver Sandals, SHOE CULT, $68; Black-and-White Slim Cross Body Bag, KENNETH COLE, $89 3. Go for more of a menswear-inspired look. Try wearing your micro mini with a blazer and a collared shirt or sporty T, untucked so just a little piece of the skirt sticks out underneath. The look will still be sexy, but the general tomboy-ness of it will make your sky-high skirt feel a little more casual and down-to-earth.  Clockwise from the top left: Navy Blazer, ZARA, $119; Gold Key Pendant Necklace, KATE SPADE, $58; Orange and White Striped Shirt, GAP, $19; Leopard Print Miniskirt, MAISON SCOTCH, $165; Brown Loafers, ASOS MARATHON, $67; Yellow Cross Body Bag, KATE SPADE SATURDAY, $135  4. Wear your miniskirt under a long jacket. If you feel like your butt is in danger of slipping out of the bottom of your super short skirt, just throw on a long jacket, like a lightweight cotton trench, and wear it open so you can still show off your legs in the front while still being covered in the back.  Clockwise from the top left: Lips Chain Necklace, DAILY LOOK, $15; Patch Denim Skirt, PIXIE MARKET, $48; Wire Frame Sunglasses, RAY-BAN, $130; Trench Coat, UNIQLO, $70; Red Chunky Heels, TOPSHOP, $130 5. Wear your mini with a bodysuit. There&amp;#039;s a big difference between flashing the bottom of a bodysuit and flashing your actual underwear. That said, if this level of tush exposure leaves you feeling anxious, you can always replace your skirt with a skort for fuller coverage.  Clockwise from the left: Tropical Bodysuit, FOREVER 21, $9; White Denim Jacket, J.CREW, $128; Cat Skull Earrings, DOLLYCOOL, $9; Zebra Bucket Bag With Tassels, ZARA, $90; Black Skort, WILFRED FREE, $85; Leopard Gladiator Sandals, STEVE MADDEN, $80 6. Wear it with casual flats. Sneakers or flat booties are great for helping downplay an aggressively short miniskirt, especially when styled with other casual pieces like T-shirts and denim jackets.  Clockwise from the left: Captain America Graphic Tank, FOREVER 21, $14; Floral Print Backpack, MARC BY MARC JACOBS, $200; Floral Aviators, WITH LOVE FROM CALIFORNIA, $15; Denim Jacket, TALULA, $98; Eye Pyramid Earrings, ROSITA BONITA, $53; White High-Top Chucks, CONVERSE, $55; Navy and White Striped Lace Miniskirt, TALULA, $50 7. Layer a miniskirt over a shift or shirtdress. Just make sure the skirt is thick enough that the wrinkles in the fabric underneath don&amp;#039;t show through.   Clockwise from the top left: Blue and White Cat-Eye Sunglasses, LINDA FARROW X PRABAL GURUNG, $405; Blue and White Shift Dress, DKNY, $335; Black-and-White Sandals, SOL SANA, $75; Printed Mesh Bag, DKNY, $145; Black Flared Leather Skirt, H&amp;amp;M, $25   RELATED ARTICLES: 4 Life-Changing Tips for Mixing Prints How to Make High Heels More Comfortable 6 Super Simple Ways to Become a Color-Mixing Master Follow Charles on Twitter.
