Definition of Skirt
A skirt is a tube- or cone-shaped garment that hangs from the waist and covers all or part of the legs.
In European culture,skirts are usually considered women’s clothing. However, there are exceptions. The kilt is a traditional men’s garment in Scotland, and some fashion designers, such as Jean-Paul Gaultier, have shown men’s skirts.
At its simplest, a skirt can be a draped garment made out of a single piece of material (such as pareos), but most skirts are fitted to the body at the waist and fuller below, with the fullness introduced by means of dart, gores, pleats, or panels. Modern skirts are usually made of light to mid-weight fabrics, such as denim, jersey, worsted, or poplin. Skirts of thin or clingy fabrics are often worn with slips to make the material of the skirt drape better and for modesty.
The hemline of skirts can be as high as the upper thigh or as low as the ground, depending on the whims of fashion and the modesty or personal taste of the wearer.
Some medieval upper-class women wore skirts over 3 metres in diameter at the bottom. At the other extreme, the miniskirts of the 1960s were minimal garments that may have barely covered the underwear when seated.
Costume historians typically use the word “petticoat” to describe skirt-like garments of the 18th century or earlier.
Beginning around 1915, hemlines for daytime dresses left the floor for good. For the next fifty years, fashionable skirts became short (1920s), then long (1930s), then shorter (the War Years with their restrictions on fabric, ), then long (the New Look), then shortest of all during the 1960s, when skirts became as short as possible while avoiding exposure of underwear, which was considered taboo.
Since the 1970s and the rise of pants for women as an option for all but the most formal of occasions, no one skirt length has dominated fashion for long, with short and ankle-length styles often appearing side-by-side in fashion magazines and catalogs.

The Best Of Red Simpson: Country Western Truck Drivin’ Singer $11.98 Truck-drivin’ songs hold a narrow but proud niche in the mythology of country & western music. Red Simpson, a Bakersfield songwriting compadre of Buck Owens and Merle Haggard, came into the game late, following the success of Dave Dudley and Del Reeves, and scored but one bona fide hit, 1971′s dryly comic “I’m a Truck.” But Simpson’s work has held up better than most, thanks to his blue-collar voi… |
