Capture Your Free Spirit with Miss Sixty Mini Skirts

The mini skirt, also written as miniskirt or as mini-skirt, is characterized by its short hemline. Typically, the hemline is 20 cm (8 inches) or more above the woman’s knee. The mini skirt was an iconic fashion symbol of the 60s in London, though it first began to evolve as early as the mid-20s, which was when the hemlines of skirts started to move upward.

As hemlines have moved upward, it should be no surprise that Miss Sixty offers its own line of mini skirts. What does make Miss Sixty mini skirts a bit of an oddity is the fact that the fashion line in general is inspired by the culture and lifestyle of the 70s. Yet, a look back at the fashion world in the 70s shows that longer skirts started to return during this time period. These skirts were often referred to as the maxi or the midi.

The reason for the return to longer hems was quite simple: fashion designers were afraid to go any higher, so the only option was to go lower. In addition, the feminist movement was gaining steam at this time, so lowering the hemline was one more way to say that women should not be viewed as objects.

Despite the gentle push back toward longer hemlines that took place in the 70s, women never really turned their backs on the mini skirt. In fact, many viewed the mini skirt as one more way for women to liberate themselves and to be free spirited – and, that is exactly why you see Miss Sixty mini skirts today.

By the end of the 70s, mini skirts were exploding back onto the scene and have remained fashionable in various formats ever since. The line of Miss Sixty mini skirts includes denim, free flowing, and form-fitting variations to suit every occasion.
