Perfect for the warmer days of late summer and early fall, classic denim miniskirts are the best alternative to shorts. Plus, you can always add a pair of tights underneath once the weather cools. Either way, a denim mini’s simple and timeless design makes it compatible with any plans on the agenda. If the day includes a commute to the office, the grandma shoe trend is best. Sensible but elegant, they instantly dress up an outfit and look especially chic with an oversized blazer or crewneck sweater.
