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.

The children of the 1960s were the ones that embraced everything new and rebellious. The Civil Rights Movement and the sexual revolution both began then and the mood that swept the nation and the world even extended to the world of fashion. The mini skirt is a lasting testament to that.

Some spell it mini skirt, some spell it mini-skirt and some spell it miniskirt. No matter how it’s spelled, it’s the same: it’s very short and very sexy. It’s been that way ever since a French fashion house moved the hemlines of skirts up several inches above the knees in 1964.

The style didn’t catch on, however, until a British designer took the idea and pushed the hemline up even further. At that time, in 1966, the mini skirt was called the Chelsea style.

After that, the miniskirt took the world by storm. This bold new look, combined with the fact that the invention of pantyhose liberated women from girdles, was embraced by youthful women with unprecedented passion. In the blink of an eye, they were being seen everywhere in all the major fashion capitals of the world.

Gradually, mini-skirts were replaced by the next big thing in fashion, but they never disappeared altogether. While the denim mini continues to be the biggest seller, their are still plenty of bold young women who wear them in everything from vinyl to leather. They are still the sexiest skirts around, too, especially if they’re in see-through fabrics or in a schoolgirl or nurse design.

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!
