Women staying in mini-skirts for longer
Good news all round I think
Go laydeez!British women are happy nowadays to wear mini-skirts up until the age of 40, according to research by Debenhams department store.
Just 20 years ago, few women would dare to wear a mini-skirt after the age of 33, the store said.
"It shows that women now have an increasing confidence in their bodies and are happy to dress accordingly," it added in a statement.
"If this trend continues, there's no doubt that, within the next decade, women in their mid 40s and early 50s will rightly regard a mini-skirt as an essential part of their everyday wardrobe."
