    Lengths of skirts

    Term skirt is used for an item of clothing worn from the waist down and which is the basic element of
    Womens and girls clothing. A matching jacket with a skirt makes a suit, or costume.
    Many styles of skirt are subject to change in fashion. Other styles are considered as classics, or timeless.
    Individual styles are distinguished by length, width, silhouette, cut and details.

    Pants/Trousers/Shorts
    Shorts are a garment worn by both men and women over their pelvic area,
    circling the waist and splitting to cover the upper part of the legs, sometimes
    extending down to knee but not covering the entire length of the leg. They are called
    "shorts" because they are a shortened version of pants, which cover the entire leg.
    Shorts are typically worn in warm weather or in an environment where comfort
    and airflow are more important than the protection of the legs.
