What is a "miniskirt"?

A miniskirt is a type of skirt that typically has a hemline well above the knees, often at mid-thigh level or higher. It gained popularity in the 1960s as a symbol of youth culture and liberation and has since become a classic fashion staple. Miniskirts can be made from a variety of materials, including denim, leather, and cotton, and can come in a range of styles, such as A-line or bodycon. They are often worn for more casual or social occasions, such as parties or nights out, and can be paired with a variety of tops and shoes to create different looks. Although some may consider the miniskirt controversial, it has become an enduring symbol of female empowerment and self-expression.
