A miniskirt is a skirt with a hemline well above the knees, generally halfway up the thighs.

The popularity of miniskirts peaked in the "Swinging London" of the 1960s, but it is still

commonplace among many women, especially teenagers, preteens, and young adults. Before

that time, short skirts were only seen in sport and dance clothing, such as skirts worn by female

tennis players, figure skaters, cheerleaders, and dancers.

coincided with the growth of the feminist movement.
