The late ’60s saw the first shocker – the mini skirt – enter fashion. Mini skirts were 4-6 inches above the knee in box pleats or a-line button front shapes. Plaids, pleats, corduroy, and heavy knits were perfect for minis. They were worn with tights and tall go go boots by teens and trendy college-age girls.

Mature women didn’t wear minis. They went the opposite direction – longer! Button front knee-length skirts, knee-length skorts, and at-the-knee denim skirts were all newer options for women.
