The strap on the Mini is definitely quiet long (I’m about 5‘3), so in the beginning I wore it almost crossbody exclusively. IMO it looks best worn over the shoulder so I shortened the chain with a ribbon. As it’s my preferred way of wearing it, I recently got a chain shortened which looks way better when opening the bag than the ribbon did. It all depends on personal preferences. With the shortened chain it definitely is a favorite for me. Next I’m thinking of getting the WoC (same issue with the chain) and feel much more at ease with this method in mind.
