Why Wear a Short Skirt?
I’m sure everyone reading this knows about Mary Quant and her iconic ’60s mini skirt. All the years later and the mini is still a fashionable piece of clothing. How short is a mini skirt? A mini skirt sits mid-thigh, but the actual length can range from 11” - 17” depending on the wearer's height and leg length. A micro mini, a massive 2022 trend, has a length of around 10”.

Why wear a short skirt?
A short skirt attracts attention. It was a symbol of the 1960s that embodied the era's spirit. The mini skirt was introduced during a time of renewed optimism for women. It was a symbol of individualism and freedom of expression and the growth of feminism as a movement. It erupted onto the political landscape symbolising the shifting image of women from that of a wife and mother to a young, single female, confident in her own sexuality.
Short skirts can be bought in a variety of fabrics and colours, from luxurious to casual. A leather or faux leather short skirt is a classic and sits in the middle of being both luxurious and casual, depending on what you wear it with. The trend of an added thigh split has been mega popular and Order Materia has several that fit this trend like the wine red iridescent snakeskin patterned skirt or the black lace and gold sequinned see-through skirt with two thigh splits. What to wear with a short skirt? Team with either a close-fitting body or a fabulous tie-around stretch top like our Order Materia gold stretch one. Perfect.
