[Chosun Ilbo] Miniskirts Get Even Shorter in Korea
Hey! I am not complaining. 
This is a big difference from 30+ years ago.
Quote:
Miniskirts which are so short that passersby feel embarrassed just to see them are hitting the street in Korea in the spring season of 2006. They are not just mini. They are super-miniskirts with their total length less than 25 cm. Such super-miniskirts, which got some 10 cm shorter from 10 years ago, are selling like hot cakes, some 2,500-3,000 units on average a day in G-Market, a local online shopping mall, and Auction, the trading site. They account for some 30 percent of women's clothes sold. Miniskirts have been here all the time, but this year it seems they reached the point where they can't get any shorter, a buyer of women's clothes at Hyundai Department Store said. Just several years ago, only those with long, beautiful legs wore such miniskirts, but these days they have become so popular that almost everyone wears them.
The rage for super-miniskirts is led by young women in their late teens and early 20s. Some 70 percent of buyers are in their late teens or early 20s, says Park Jung-won, a deputy manager with Auction who is in charge of clothes. This spring, school-look miniskirts, which look cute with frills or pleats, are especially popular. Knee socks and leggings which often go together with miniskirts are also enjoying increasing demand.
