Gone are the days where women were supposed to wear long skirts with extra tight corsets that sucked the air out of them. The modern era has had so many changes and women’s clothing is among one of them. From skirts that brushed the ground, they walked on, to wearing skirts with hemlines creeping up to 6 inches above the knees. Women’s fashion has transformed a lot. 

Schools too have been quite easy-going regarding the length of the skirts and so have been parents in many countries.  Formerly, the school uniform skirts used to be below the knees, then they got reduced to on the knees, later they got further reduced to above the knees and now they are creeping up to 6 inches above the knees and girl students seem to like this change. 

Fashion is forever but style is not. It keeps on changing and we have to accept these changes.  Women wearing long skirts and tight corsets had to start a movement to change their clothing style in the 19th century as it was difficult for them to work properly and caused serious health issues like back pain etc. Women today at least do not have any health issues caused by their dresses.

For years women have been fighting for equal rights and the right to wear whatever they wish is one among them. It should not matter if their skirts are mini or micro but the fact that they have the freedom to dress as they wish matters a lot. And society must not worry about the length of the skirt because we have a lot on our plate to take care of like corruption, terrorism, rape, child abuse and so much more.
