Fashion Advice That Anyone Can Afford

If a single word defines an era, the sixties can be defined by the word “liberation.” Change was in the air in the 60s. It was an era of social movements and peaceful revolution that spread from the campus to the fashion advice columns.

Sexual revolution and women’s revolution were just two of the revolutions taking place in the 60s. These revolutionary movements spilled over into the fashion industry. If you need proof of this, just look at the mini skirt.

Mini skirt, mini-skirt or miniskirt – spell it as you like it is the same thing: short, sassy and sexy. The mini skirt made its debut in 1964 when a French fashion house made the bold move of moving the hemline of skirts up above the knee.

Then a British designer took her cue from them and pushed the limits even further with the Chelsea style skirt. That was in 1966.

After that, the miniskirt ruled the fashion world. Some thanks has to be given to the inventors of the pantyhose, because without that, there may never have been a mini. At any rate, it took off like a rocket and it wasn’t long before every woman young enough to get away with it was wearing a mini skirt in the clubs and on the streets of every major city.

Since the sixties, mini-skirts have waxed and waned in popularity, but have never really gone out of style. They are made from every conceivable fabric and worn for every occasion. The casual denim version is perhaps the most popular, but it’s not unheard of for a girl to choose to wear a tight see-through lycra mini or a sexy schoolgirl mini.

The best fashion advice for the fashion fearless is no advice. Wear whatever suits your fancy. It’s your body and your personality and no one else’s. This is what we learned from the sixties: “Do your own thing.” Strut your stuff, girls!
