skirts
14 October 2017
After the loin cloth, the skirt is the second-oldest garment known to mankind. Skirts haven't always been just for women. Men and women both wore skirts in ancient times, and over the years it became a predominantly women's garment in Western cultures.
For hundreds of years, a long skirt was the very definition of luxury, mainly because fabric was so expensive. The skirt was another sign of status and beauty such as the narrowness of a woman's waist. It was important as women would try to accentuate their waistlines.
Today, a skirt's design is all about personal style.
