The Levi's Icon Denim Miniskirt is a short, high-waisted denim skirt made from 100% cotton with a button fly, five-pocket design, and scissor-cut frayed hem. It measures 14.25 inches (36 cm) in length, making it well-suited for petite wearers seeking a classic casual denim mini.

Product Insights
This Levi's Icon Denim Miniskirt is a 100% cotton miniskirt that initially fits rigidly with no stretch but softens and molds over time; its straight, boxy cut suits straight body types best, requiring a size up for curvy builds, and its 14.25-inch length is ideal for petites under 5'2". Drawing from the 501 jeans heritage, it features authentic details like a button fly tracing to 1873, a red tab authentication mark since 1936, back pockets cut at the same angle as the 501 to lift and contour the seat, and a classic five-pocket layout. The raw pre-frayed hem sheds threads for 3-6 months before stabilizing, and cotton shrinks 2-5% on first wash. Compared to alternatives, buyers note less side flare than Quince's denim mini, and at $49.95, the premium over fast-fashion is justified by Levi's quality and durability.
