The Mini-skirt


Another popular style od the 1980's was the mini-skirt. The mini-skirt is a skirt with a hemline well above the knees, usually no longer than 10 cm or 4 in above the butt. The mini-skirt can be made of jean material or stretch material, and they can come in all different colors and styles. Mary Quant owned a clothing shop in London and began experimenting with with shorter skirts but it wasn't until 1965 that she successfully created the mini-skirt. However in the 1970's the style died down and the midi- and maxi-skirts came into style. Then again in the 1980's shorter skirts began to return. Slowly women began incorporated the mini-skirt into their business attire. The mini-skirt was and still is a popular fashion trend.
