- Pick a thicker fabric such as wool, corduroy, velvet instead of a flowy, loose skirt than can blow away when the wind goes through.
- Make sure that the skirt has a lining underneath to avoid the skirt from riding up.
- Pair a mini skirt with long sleeves, dressier tops to cover more skin.
- Layer up an oversize blazer, sweater, or a trench coat keeping unfastened to show your legs.
- Wear tights that match your skin tone for office hours.
- Pair the skirt with low heels to downplay the length of the skirt.
