How Do Girls Wear Short Dresses Without Showing Their Butt
When you want to wear a micro-mini, but you'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'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.

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 — like taking the average of the two lengths. *~*~FaShIoN mAtH~*~*

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.

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'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'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&M;, $25
