Miniskirts

A miniskirt, sometimes hyphenated as mini skirt, is a skirt with a hemline well above the knees generally no longer than 10 cm (4 in) below the buttocks, and a mini dress is a dress with a similar meaning. A micro-miniskirt or micro skirt is a further abbreviation of the miniskirt and short shorts are the shortened versions of the shorts.

The popularity of miniskirts peaked in the Swinging London of the 1960s, but its popularity is since still commonplace among many women, mostly teenagers, preteens, and young adults. Before that time, short skirts were only seen in sport clothing, such as skirts worn by female tennis players.

Around the turn of the 21st century, hipster trousers became highly fashionable for women. The micro mini or micro skirt has been reworked as an even less substantial belt skirt, which is more an evocation of the idea of a skirt than something that covers anything substantial. However, these micro skirts are rarely worn as street wear, but for theatrical effect. Miniskirts are also seen worn over trousers or jeans, or with leggings that provide coverage of each leg from above the knee.

Although floaty skirts were most closely associated with the boho look of mid decade, short skirts also featured in some outfits, and in London, for example, minis were more widespread during the hot summer of 2006 than for several years before, a trend that continued through the mild autumn and winter and even five years later have not yet lost their popularity with bare legs becoming more common in 2011 for the first time in some years.

Stretch miniskirts and micro minis can be made using Spandex material or PVC and are sometimes worn by the more daring as club wear in conjunction with hold ups and a pair of stiletto heel pumps.
