A skirt is one of the most important garments a girl should have, and only girls are supposed to wear. It is a tube or cone shaped clothing that is worn from the waist down.

In its barest form, a skirt can be a single piece of clothing that is worn from the waist down. Some skirts are usually made out of materials that range from light to mid weight, and with fabrics like denim, poplin, worsted and jersey. If you have a thin skirt, you usually would have to wear a slip to make it less transparent and see through. The hemline of your skirt would depend on what is trendy this season, it may be as low as your ankles, or it may go way up to your upper thigh.

Skirts lengths vary depending on the season's trend. During the medieval times, they wore skirts way longer than her ankles, while during the 1960s, miniskirts were so in that the miniskirts barely covered the girl's underwear.

Skirts may be worn as an alternative to trousers. They can be worn to keep women warm during the cooler climates. For most, skirts are worn to show their feminine side.

Are there any disadvantages to wearing a skirt? Most women would complain that they are too long or that they become too bulky. Others complain that they are prevented to do some physical activities like exercise or climbing up ladders. Or most women are afraid to wear skirts during windy weather or when they want to pick up something, because their underwear might accidentally show.
