This spring’s must-have item, an A-line mini skirt, creates a variety of looks simply by mixing the piece with either sophisticated or casual trends.  For the sporty look, rock the mini skirts with striped zip-up jackets and lace-up knee-high boots.  Another approach is to add colored or opaque tights underneath to keep warm from the chillier days.  All in all, the trendsetters in Tokyo tend to wear light sweaters or cardigans over the skirts.  On the other hand, pair a high-waisted skirt with a graphic tank underneath to show off the waist.  Either way, the a-line mini skirts give shape to the ensemble and are flirtier than most styles because of how they flare out at the thighs.  It’s an effortless and casually sweet look altogether.
