Fashion Advice For 2010
If you’re looking for bold fashion advice, then look back to the sixties, the era of freedom and liberation. That was perhaps the era of greater social change than any era since. The world as we know it today would not be here if not for the sixties.
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.
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.
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.
It was then that the miniskirt swept the world off its feet. Young women, recently liberated from girdles, thanks to the invention of pantyhouse, embraced the mini with a passion. Before long, every self-respecting woman under the age of 30 was turning heads on the streets and in the nightclubs of London, New York and San Francisco in a mini skirt.
Since their heyday in the 60s, miniskirts have gone in and out of fashion, but they have never completely disappeared. Today, they are made from just about any fabric. While the denim skirt is probably the one seen the most on the streets, minis are made from everything from leather to lycra and styles, while always bold, are also absolutely outrageous, too.
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!
