There are many kind of skirts which are/were famous:
- Hobble skirt, a fashion of the early 20th century, with fullness at the hips narrowing to the ankles
- Poodle skirt, a circle or near-circle skirt with an appliqued poodle or other decoration (1950s)
- Kilt, a wrap-around skirt with overlapping aprons in front and pleated around the back. Though traditionally designed as women's wear, it is fashioned to mimic somewhat closely the general appearance of a (man's) kilt, including the usage of a plaid pattern more or less closely resembling those of recognized tartan patterns of Scotland.
- Miniskirt, a thigh-length skirt, and micromini, an extremely short version (1960s)
- Sarong, a square of fabric wrapped around the body and tied on one hip to make a skirt; worn as a skirt or as a cover-up over a bathing suit in tropical climates.Traditional wear in Bali, Indonesia and many other south east asian countries
