It was Marie Marvingt, a Frenchwoman from Nancy, adventurer, cyclist and above all sportswoman at heart, who invented the short skirt in the 1930s. Wishing to be able to cycle freely without being encumbered by a classic skirt, she created the short skirt. At the time, pants were forbidden for women, so this Nancy native's creation was a veritable revolution in women's fashion. She went on to excel in other sports disciplines, winning 34 awards for other achievements throughout her life. She enjoyed great success in the 80s and 90s with the advent of the mini and the miniskirt. Somewhat neglected in women's wardrobes, it is gradually making a comeback in our closets, revisited and as practical as ever.

The short skirt has all the advantages of shorts, making it practical for using a vélib, going to class or to work. No need to change, you'll be just as mobile as with shorts or pants. Very comfortable, its classic skirt look makes it a very feminine piece, especially when it comes to wearing short clothes.

Summer and winter alike, there are short skirts to suit all seasons.

How to choose a short skirt according to your morphology?

For I-shaped women, choose a short skirt with ruffles, graphic prints, wide stripes - in short, daring volumes and prints.

At the top, too, we wear voluminous, wispytops, and don't hesitate to play up the décolleté with a bare-shoulder top, for example.

For O-shaped women, choose a knee-length, flared, high-waisted short skirt to emphasize your waist without feeling tight or pudgy.

Plain, dark-colored short skirts are preferred, to be worn with flowing, fitted tops such as sweaters or short, fitted knit cardigans.

For V-shaped morphologies, choose a low-waisted short skirt with floral or graphic prints. With a short skirt and this type of silhouette, you need to balance the volume of your shoulders and hips, with the help of a large bi-material belt, for example, and a flowing white shirt.

For figure 8s, we opt for skater or trapeze short skirts, which show off your waistline to maximum effect, with a two-tone trench jacket or faux-leather perfecto and a simple white tee-shirt.
