Fashion Advice For 2010
Posted By on June 6, 2010
If a single word defines an era, the sixties can be defined by the word “liberation.” Change was in the air in the 60s. It was an era of social movements and peaceful revolution that spread from the campus to the fashion advice columns.
The children of the 1960s were the ones that embraced everything new and rebellious. The Civil Rights Movement and the sexual revolution both began then and the mood that swept the nation and the world even extended to the world of fashion. The mini skirt is a lasting testament to that.
Different people spell it differently, but the mini-skirt, miniskirt or mini skirt remains the same: it is short and sexy and only for the young and the bold. A French fashion label was the first to lift the hemline above the knees in 1964.
Then a British designer took her cue from them and pushed the limits even further with the Chelsea style skirt. That was in 1966.
After that, the miniskirt took the world by storm. This bold new look, combined with the fact that the invention of pantyhose liberated women from girdles, was embraced by youthful women with unprecedented passion. In the blink of an eye, they were being seen everywhere in all the major fashion capitals of the world.
Since the sixties, mini-skirts have waxed and waned in popularity, but have never really gone out of style. They are made from every conceivable fabric and worn for every occasion. The casual denim version is perhaps the most popular, but it’s not unheard of for a girl to choose to wear a tight see-through lycra mini or a sexy schoolgirl mini.
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!
