Q&A for How to Wear a Short Skirt Without Looking Overexposed

Pair a short skirt with a long-sleeve or quarter-sleeve top. By showing less skin on your upper body, it'll balance out the shortness of the skirt!

Short skirts are totally feminist friendly. Dress how you want and don't listen to people who try to force you to dress how they want you to.

While it is entirely up to you, be aware that there is a high chance your private parts will show. If you're fine with that, go ahead.

Not in most corporate environments. You should go with a hemline touching your knees, at the shortest.

Yes, it is perfectly ok for a guy to wear skirts, seeing as there isn't a law stating you can't.

Safety shorts are your solution to this problem. Or hold your skirt down when it is windy.

Just wear it without leggings. It's very normal for women to wear short dresses without leggings. Just be sure to move and sit in a ladylike manner to prevent any accidental exposure.

You should stand with your legs together - it makes you appear more feminine, and that's what women are generally going for when they wear skirts.

Either cross your legs instead, wear a longer skirt, or put something like a purse in front to block the tiny triangle.

Walk the way you would normally. To prevent upskirts, hold the side of your skirt and pull it forward. If it's a figure-hugging skirt, hold something like a handbag behind your skirt to block any views up your skirt from below. If you feel it's hard to walk up the stairs or you suspect people are looking up your skirt, take the elevator.

Some find it more comfortable than wearing underwear and receive more fresh air than if they were to wear loose underwear. The choice is yours, but if you don't want a gust of wind to suddenly expose your buttocks to anyone, wear underwear. Same applies if you are going to school or have an important event to attend, use caution.

Roll the hem inside as short as you like, iron it and sew along the line. If the skirt is already heavy around the hem, measure the length you want the skirt to be. Add 5 inches or however you like for the new hem line. Cut the skirt, roll the 4-5 inches you left for the hem. Remember to make two rolls of 2 inches each. Iron after rolling to have it look neat before sewing. Sew it with a matching thread and thin needle if you prefer thinner ones.
