If a single word defines an era, the sixties can be defined by the word “liberation.”That was perhaps the era of greater social change than any era since.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.No other lasting item of apparel proves this point more than the mini skirt.Mini Dress

Different people spell it differently, but the mini-skirt, miniskirt or mini skirt remains the same: it is short and sexy and only for the young and the bold.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.

 

For some reason, though, it took a 1966 version of the skirt to make it catch on. It was the even higher hemlined Chelsea style skirt that grabbed the world’s attention.

After that, the miniskirt took the world by storm. Some thanks has to be given to the inventors of the pantyhose, because without that, there may never have been a mini. In the blink of an eye, they were being seen everywhere in all the major fashion capitals of the world.

If you’re looking for fearless fashion advice, take it from the sixties. The sixties told us to do our own thing and “if it feels good, do it.” Don’t listen to anybody else, girls – do what you want!Fashion Advice
