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
Leggings are any of several sorts of fitted clothing to cover the legs. Originally leggings were two separate garments, one for each leg. In contemporary usage, leggings refers to tight, form-fitting trousers that extend from the waist to the ankles; in the United States, they are sometimes referred to as tights (although the word tights is often used to refer to opaque pantyhose). Modern leggings are typically made from a blend of lycra, and either nylon, cotton, or a cotton-polyester blend. However, leggings can also be made from wool, silk, and various synthetic fabrics as well.
