The itchy bug bites on my arm and the freckles popping up on my nose tell me summer is officially here. In the city, that means wearing as little as possible—but how short is too short? Enter the mini dress: this season’s unexpected hero that we’ll be wearing nonstop. On the Spring 2025 runways, this staple made a comeback with a fresh vibe—sexy (but not too much) and effortlessly chic.
