      Upon arriving at my office this morning, I was struck by the realization that the satin miniskirt trend is gaining momentum. Styled by two of my most fashionable colleagues—who serve as my personal indicators for upcoming trends—I had a feeling I had stumbled upon something noteworthy. Further confirming my hunch, a quick scroll through Instagram introduced me to the undeniably stylish Laura Harrier, who has also embraced this trend this week. Thus far, every indication points to a significant spring silhouette.

      After the Miu Miu autumn/winter 2025 runway show, where Harrier showcased a cream satin minidress paired with glossy pointed-toe heels, she donned a two-piece that perfectly highlighted the emerging skirt trend. While long satin skirts have been a staple on city streets, this shorter and more playful design has only just begun to gain traction.

      This iteration is less formal than the pencil skirt trend that has dominated in recent seasons, introducing movement and sheen into outfits for a lighter and brighter finish that remains polished. The stylish choices made by my colleagues and Laura Harrier strongly suggest that a new trend is on the rise. Additionally, I noticed that a third prominent fashion figure, the beloved French influencer @annelauremais, has also adopted this trend. Mais paired her light cream skirt with a relaxed jumper, adding a laid-back vibe to her elegant look.

      While Harrier's Miu Miu mini isn't currently available, there are several attractive options on the market that have already been released. Lightweight, comfortable, and easy to wear, check out my selection of the top satin miniskirts below.
