It is spring's sauciest fashion item, but most women will be totally intimidated by it: the micro-mini. It's a skirt or dress so short that you dare not sit or bend over unless you do it very, very carefully. Mini-skirts should also be loose. Avoid anything that's too tight. Pair it with an oversized jacket or cute blouse. Prints are harder to wear than solids. The best color is solid black because it's so versatile. Platform shoes best show off both the skirt and your legs. Wear footless tights with your micro-mini so your Vicky's Secret underlovelies aren't displayed for all the world to see. Tights make you look respectable. No tights can make you look like a hooker. Since mini-dress lengths range from a few inches above the knee to just a few inches below the start of the thigh, spend some money on undergarments, especially if you aren't wearing those tights. When you sit down, always cross your legs at the ankles--not the knees.--From the Editors at Netscape
