Skirts History and ConceptionThe Invention of SkirtsSkirts can be sassy, businesslike, flirty, severe, fun or elegant, but all of them definitely emphasize one quality; and that is femininity. The History and Evolution of Skirts Skirts are one of the oldest styles of garment known to mankind: after the loincloth, it was the skirt that graced the human form. Importantly, men as well as women wore skirts, and ancient art shows remarkably "manly" men in skirts. Skirts were worn long by women, as a mark of their modesty as well as their prestige, because before the Industrial Revolution, fabric was expensive. But things began to change in the 19th century, with skirts becoming more streamlined to the body, and in the 20th century, the hardships of war required women to wear shorter, more work-friendly clothing. But the defining moment for the modern skirt arrived in the 1960s, when Mary Quant, inspired by the 1965 short skirts by André Courrèges, took the hem up by a few notches
It was Quant that gave women the freedom to really choose the length of their skirts,
Skirts are now a staple in any woman's wardrobe: their ability to mix and match with the same tops that are teamed with jeans and trousers make them convenient and versatile. By Damyanti Ghosh |
