The Mini Skirt: Iconic Fashion of the 1960s

It is interesting to think how one item of clothing has had such a massive impact on the world of fashion. The mini skirt is quite simply iconic. From its humble beginnings in the 1960s to being the statement fashion piece of many women, the mini skirt is one of those items that will never date. As years go by, the mini skirt has changed, so we now have a choice of denim mini skirts, leather mini skirts, cotton twill mini skirts and other funky variations, for everyone from their teens to their twenties.

Is there an age when you can't wear the mini skirt? Well, society would suggest that if you are in your 40s then you are too old to wear the mini skirt, but i think it is down to personal opinion. Its whatever you feel comfortable in. I used to work in a fashion boutique and one regular customer was in her 60s and she would try on all the Morgan fashions, which is ideally suited to young people. However, she would inevitably buy a few mini skirts every time she came in!
