School Skirts
Short school skirts are pass?. Following the release of the hit music video featuring pop singer Britney Spears in a micro-mini school skirt, hemlines of school skirts crept up to what many consider to be improper levels. This caused the Scottish Parent Teacher Council to clamp down heavily on retail stores selling miniscule school skirts and subsequently, the sale of school skirts decreased. In 2002, Woolworth's, which sells 10 per cent of the school wear in Scotland, sold 200,000 school skirts and just 4,000 pairs of girls' trousers. But this year, the store has sold 104,000 pairs of trousers and 100,000 skirts.
For those who continue to wear school skirts but prefer a more conservative style, Modest Apparel USA is working on a reticent skirt for school uniforms.
This school skirt is double pleated, and has a back zipper; side inseam pockets, and covers the knee when sitting.
The trend, however, is gradually shifting away from solid-colored cotton skirts. Plaid miniskirts teamed with knitted sweaters continue to be popular this fall.
An attention-grabbing trend emerging in the University of Missouri are patterned skirts, which allow students to express their individuality. A number of students are making a fashion statement in knee-length denim skirts paired with traditional tank tops and trendy cowboy boots.
While details like double belts are being spotted everywhere, the more creative students have gone to the lengths of accessorizing a neat pleated denim skirt with a colorful scarf belted around their waist.
That said, traditional pleated skirts continue to be a perennial school style. Different looks may be presented by wearing a pleated skirt, depending on the length of the skirt. Below-the-knee skirts give a more graceful and conservative look while shorter skirts teamed with sneakers are more flirty and girlish..

Short Skirts are in: Are Your Legs Ready?
There is a saying that as hemlines rise so does the stock market.
If that is truly the case then we are in a great position to cash in on the market, as skirts are indeed getting shorter this season.
While for men this may be a cause of celebration, for many women this news is a reason for some concern.
Shorter skirts mean that more of the leg is visible.
And while we women are seldom satisfied with our bodies, more women voice dissatisfaction with their legs than any other part of the body.
Varicose veins and spider veins are two problems that can plague our legs as we get older.
Over 50% of women and 40% of men over the age of 50 complain of vein problems.
The legs are susceptible to these vein problems because they work very hard pumping oxygen-poor blood back up to the heart while the arteries pump blood rich in oxygen from the heart to other parts of the body.
Without getting too technical,...
