Who were skirts originally made for?
Skirts were originally made for men and women. The oldest skirts trace back to 3900 BCE. Archaeologists and anthropologists unearthed evidence of these garments at the Areni-1 cave complex in Armenia. Ancient artisans produced the first skirt out of woven straw-like materials.
