A mini skirt is a type of garment that is typically worn by women. It is a very short skirt, usually falling above or just below the knees, and is designed to show off the legs while also providing some coverage. The term “mini” refers to its abbreviated length, which has been popular since the 1960s when it was first introduced as a fashion trend. Mini skirts can be made from various materials such as denim, leather or chiffon and come in many different styles including A-line, pencil, wrap, etc. They are often worn for casual occasions but also make an appearance at formal events.
