Fashion Advice That Anyone Can Afford

Sunday, June 6th, 2010

The 1960s will always be remembered as an era of change. If one word defines the era, it is “liberation.” Many of the major social movements that have shaped our world today began in the sixties. If you want fearless fashion advice, look to the sixties!

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. If you need proof of this, just look at the mini skirt.

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.

After that, the miniskirt ruled the fashion world. Some thanks has to be given to the inventors of the pantyhose, because without that, there may never have been a mini. At any rate, it took off like a rocket and it wasn’t long before every woman young enough to get away with it was wearing a mini skirt in the clubs and on the streets of every major city.

Gradually, mini-skirts were replaced by the next big thing in fashion, but they never disappeared altogether. While the denim mini continues to be the biggest seller, their are still plenty of bold young women who wear them in everything from vinyl to leather. They are still the sexiest skirts around, too, especially if they’re in see-through fabrics or in a schoolgirl or nurse design.

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!
