Women have been wearing dresses and skirts for centuries. Pants and trouser suits for the beautiful half of humanity were brought into fashion much later by the famous Coco Chanel, but this only diversified the women's wardrobe. Dresses and skirts: tight, pleated, trapeze, flared sun - have been and remain the main female weapon to win men's hearts. These wardrobe items were modernized and changed every year, acquiring something new over and over again: either a more favorable length, or the most acceptable color, or the fabric from which the product is sewn. Be that as it may, today we will dedicate an article to tight skirts and talk about who invented and introduced into fashion an integral female garment, and also try to tell about the most current models of the season, the preferred length and trendy colors.
A bit of history
Something very reminiscent of a modern woman's wardrobe - a skirt, could be found in ancient times. It is enough to look intosome history textbook and look at the representatives of ancient Rome. Wrapped around the men's hips, the canvas very much resembles the current women's skirt. By the way, it is worth saying that the women of Ancient Rome wore only dresses. The very concept of "skirt" appeared in the 15th - early 16th century at the very moment when this item of women's clothing began to be cut separately from the bodice. It happened in Italy, at least that's what fashion historians say. They are based on the fact that at that time Italian women preferred to wear gammours - these are dresses that combined a narrow bodice and a cut-off skirt. After that, skirts underwent dramatic changes, and each era could be characterized by texture, splendor, the presence or absence of a train, and many other parameters of a female clothing attribute.
And yet, when and who
Tight skirts appeared quite recently, in the middle of the 20th century. At first they were preceded by wide mini-skirts, and only some time later, after shortening the length and narrowing the cut, mini-skirts appeared as we know them now: tight-fitting and bold. By the way, almost every fashion designer of that time certainly wanted to be credited with the invention of the tight mini skirt. Among those who shared the championship, it is worth noting the Frenchman Andre Courrège and the innovative designer from England, Mary Quant. They wanted to show the world the beauty of women's legs, opening them as much as possible for viewing, and emphasizing the appetizing forms of each of the fair sex by tailoring tightskirts.
Beauty requires sacrifice
Today, the skirt is the hallmark of almost every woman on our planet. Of course, there are those who do not wear them due to certain complexes or individual preferences. Be that as it may, it is a well-known fact, confirmed by statistics, that a woman in a skirt is much more attractive than the one who chose trousers or jeans (even if they are tight-fitting). Modern fashion designers and designers try every year to diversify the range of women's skirts, making them sometimes quite uncomfortable, but very attractive. This happened with models of tight knee-length skirts. In them, women look incredibly sexy, but without a cut, such skirts are absolutely uncomfortable to wear. Although such a factor does not bother the representatives of the beautiful half of humanity at all. Sometimes women are willing to endure significant inconvenience in order to look perfect.
Knitted skirts that replaced suit skirts
The solution proposed by fashion designers and famous world stylists, concerning the relief of the female fate of relatively uncomfortable tight skirts, shocked some. This is because the material from which this garment was proposed to be sewn was chosen knitwear. At first, the public could not imagine how a woman could put on a skirt not made of thick suit fabric and without a petticoat. However, after a very short time, knitted skirts firmly settled in the wardrobes of women who keep pace not only withfashion, but also over time. Now such a piece of women's clothing is considered comfortable, beautiful, fashionable, and most importantly - affordable.
Fashion always comes back
It has long been no secret that fashion periodically leaves, and then returns again, after some time. In the late 90s of the 20th century, white leggings in large and small horizontal black stripes were at the peak of popularity. This gave the female legs a visual effect of thinness and elongation. Now fashion has returned, though the strip has migrated from tight leggings to women's skirts. A tight-fitting striped skirt, horizontal or vertical, helps the representatives of the beautiful half of humanity visually reduce the volume of the hips or, conversely, increase them.
Options
In the 21st century, the representatives of the beautiful half of humanity are very lucky. This applies to the entire line of clothing produced for them, and not just skirts. But speaking specifically about skirts, it is worth noting that a huge number of models have now been developed that can be worn with pleasure and without hesitation:
- Tight short skirt, otherwise called mini.
- Pencil skirt (a form-fitting, knee-length version of the miniskirt beloved by young girls). By the way, initially such a model was invented for business ladies. However, the skirt made a stunning splash and a few months later was in almost every women's wardrobe.
- Skirts to the floor or to the middle of the female ankle, which fashion professionals and dressmakers callmaxi.
- Midi, differing from all previous ones only in length (to the knee).
- French skirt (mid-calf length).
Whatever option a modern girl or woman chooses, the right combination of a skirt, accessories and shoes can make any of them unique.
