Trendy Skirts

Skirt trends in autumn season 

Skirts are still worn by men and women from many cultures, such as the lungi,lehnga, kanga and sarong worn in South Asia and Southeast Asia, and the kilt worn in Scotland and Ireland.

The earliest known culture to have females wear clothing resembling miniskirts were the Duan Qun Mia, which literally meant "short skirt Miao" in Chinese. This was in reference to the short miniskirts "that barely cover the buttocks" worn by women of the tribe, and which were "probably shocking" to observers in medieval and early modern times.

In the Middle Ages, some upper-class women wore skirts over three metres in diameter at the bottom.At the other extreme, the miniskirts of the 1960's 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.

Why do girls wear skirts?

          Skirts always look better than shorts on guys and girls. A short skirt is more formal looking and has more advantages than shorts. Women wear whatever they want yet men as stuck with Social Conformity or they would also return to wearing skirts.
