The internet has helped us celebrate many dates over time, and this time on October 18th, Japan celebrated the miniskirt day, a big event for avid fans and artists who shared their best works on social media, creating a huge sensation worldwide.
Mini-skirt day, celebrated in Japan
As usual, Twitter was flooded with images of characters wearing skirts to honor this fashion icon that changed the lives of many people since it was introduced in 1960, and the artists put their full effort into making amazing illustrations that everyone can enjoy by entering the hashtag #ミニスカートの日 where they will find various drawings referring to this day.
This celebration has a long background, as it all started in 1960, when miniskirts became a fashion trend in Japan, since it was the first time that a garment of this style was introduced in the country and women found it very interesting. But on October 18th, 1967, the great international model Twiggy visited Japan wearing a miniskirt, which had a great impact on the lives of people and the fashion industry.
This day has a very attractive history, and it has become one more celebration of internet users who have adopted it with great happiness, as every miniskirt day, users and artists on Twitter show their love for this trend with their huge creativity and as every year, it becomes very popular on the platform and without a doubt these creations reflect the appreciation they have for this clothing and although it is very popular in Japan, users from around the world also join to celebrate this day dressing their favorite waifus with miniskirts.
There are times when we think that users in Japan take many opportunities to celebrate strange dates that are not celebrated on this side of the world, however, the miniskirt day, although it seems like a meaningless celebration for many people, in Japan it is celebrated with great eagerness, as it is a garment that for many people has become necessary and has managed to impact the lifestyle of many. And of course we also have to thank that thanks to this day we can see our favorite waifus wearing a charming outfit, so we have to celebrate it eagerly and support the artists every year for their great effort.
