“Life is short to wear boring clothes.”
And skirts can turn out to be one of the most interesting pieces of clothing any woman can ask for. Skirts were not in fashion for some time but now as you say old is the New Style, many skirt styles and patterns from the 90s are back in fashion with a great deal of versatility.
Skirts go long back in the centuries in ancient Egypt. They were first worn by men and were similar to a wrap-around skirt belted to the waist called a Shendyt. But gradually they were innovated and made a great contribution to the fashion world.
