According to the history of fashion, the skirt as an objectwardrobe woman appeared five centuries ago. However, the skirts looked like ancient people already had. A striking example is the loincloth or shenti, which can be considered a prototype of a mini skirt. Only in those days clothes were not divided into women's and men's, and the same wardrobe items were worn by both sexes.
