Mini Skirt

The Mini Skirt

When people think of the mini skirt, often they may think ultra short. This is not entirely the case. The style was first introduced in the 1960’s in Europe. Then, it was defined as any skirt with a hemline above the knees. Today, it is known to be much shorter.

The introduction of the mini skirt is often given to Mary Quant, a fashion designer in England. Others credit this fashion statement to André Courrèges, a French fashion designer. Both designers claim the invention of this fashion craze, although it is unclear who developed it first. There is no doubt that Courrèges designs changed fashion forever while Quant arguably liberated women’s fashion as the way we know it today. 

In the United States, the mini skirt didn’t gain nationwide popularity until 1966-1967. Since its introduction, the popularity has grown in exponential numbers. When this fashion trend was first introduced, the hemline could typically be found 4-5 inches above the knee, although it has been reported that in London, the hemline could be found 7-8 inches above the knee. Today, the mini skirt is shorter than ever.

As part of a growing trend, many women today are wearing these skirts with leggings or hot pants underneath to compensate for the length. Often, this fashion trend is made with such a short hem, it is necessary to wear another piece of clothing underneath. Many women feel comfortable and look quite stylish wearing the mini skirt in such a fashion. 

Some claim that the short length coupled with high heel shoes actually makes a woman look taller and thinner. The claim being the shorter length of the mini skirt can make the upper thigh appear elongated, and high heel shoes make the lower part of the leg look longer as well. Wear this with caution however, as some criticize women wearing these shorter skirts that ‘don’t have the legs for them’. 

Available in a wide array of styles, colors, and fabrics, this item is available in thousands of different styles. From the plain strait style to the pleated look, you can undoubtedly find a mini skirt to suit your particular style. In recent years, metallic fabrics have become hugely popular and are not hard to find. Lame’, the most commonly known of these fabrics provides a unique, appealing and eye catching look to an item that is decades old.

For the ultra daring, mini skirts are now available in lengths as short as 3 inches, and at that length, they may not even fully cover a woman’s rear. This ultra version also looks amazing with a pair of knee high boots, but for a less expensive alternative, wear one with a pair of leggings. In today’s fashion, I say layer up, this look is in style and can be very sexy. There is no doubt that the mini skirt is here to stay. While what is being worn with them may have changed throughout the years, the basic concept has not.
