How Leo Lin minis fit
Leo Lin designs its minis true to size, mostly in structured fabrics with no stretch, so choose by your bust and waist. Leo Lin’s AU sizes match UK sizes, and US sizes run two lower, so an AU 8 is a UK 8 and a US 4. Leo Lin’s models are between 176 and 180 cm tall and wear a size 8, which shows where the hem sits on a tall frame. Full detail is in the Leo Lin size guide.
How to wear a Leo Lin mini
Balance the short hem with a simple shoe: a slim heel for evening and a flat for day. Because most minis carry appliqué at the neckline, skip the necklace and wear small earrings. For more, see how to style Leo Lin.
