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.

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.

The style didn’t catch on, however, until a British designer took the idea and pushed the hemline up even further. At that time, in 1966, the mini skirt was called the Chelsea style.

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.

So what is the best fashion advice for the fearless fashionista? Don’t take anyone’s advice. The message of the sixties was: “do your own thing.” Take it to heart, ladies and show the world what you’ve got!
