The skirt was a male garment until today, but women took over (call it borrowed) it from men in their own style. Mini skirts were common for men in western Europe until 17th century so that newspaper in central Europe (German) wrote complain that men\'s skirts already so short that people could see what\'s underneath. Mary quant introduced the miniskirt in the 1960\'s for women, and that was new after the skirt already was only knee length for women. Before there was a huge change for women\'s skirt length after WW I. After WW II women took over pants, suits, shirts, ties, shorts, man\'s hats and caps. Mara Mon, 06 Feb 2012 03:38:33 +0100
