Sure, it looks good on the red carpet. But can you even sit? Stacy Keibler and Heidi Klum prove my point about why more women over 40 don't wear sexy miniskirts.

nd in celebrity red carpet dressing? Sexy mini skirts and dresses.

How do I know it's a major trend? Even America's sweetheart Taylor Swift has gone the micro miniskirt route.

I'm seeing short skirts on women – mostly 20-somethings – everywhere. Mile-long legs are the new erogenous zone.

I've always felt that younger gals keep searching for fashion trends their moms can't wear. Low-rise jeans? Started out with just girls, but hotter moms found they could pull them off. Same with leggings, skinny jeans, knit caps, tattoos, etc.

The one thing that has always been harder to pull off over 40 is miniskirts.

Now, you may think it's because shows like "What Not to Wear" say things like "No miniskirts over 35." And, perhaps that's part of the problem.

But I have another theory: It's not that we don't have the legs or guts to pull off short shirts. Many of us (myself not included) do.

No, I think the real reason that women over don't wear sexy mini skirts is because we're older and wiser. We're smart enough now to know if you can't even sit comfortably in a skirt, you should probably skip it.

Just look at Heidi Klum and Stacy Keibler trying to sit in these microminis. Awkward, at best.

How do you know if your skirt is too short? If you try to use your clutch to cover your private areas.

Ok now that is funny....thx

When I wore mini skirts in the 70's I remember how rough the cinema seats felt on our thighs in the summer months
with no tights on ! Lol

Pretty funny stuff Joanna. (-: Hadn't seen those photos. The dresses they both wore to the AMA awards show were way too short even for them! They looked like they were trying too hard.

Stacy needed to be sitting with her legs off to one side or the other (like Heidi),NOT with her legs straight in front of her. That was a bit too much!

I wore them before my 20s and that was only because someone else had bought them for me. I din't care for them really. I was not one to show off my azz, tho I was a mere 98 lbs and only 5 ft 2. It just didn't ever feel comfortable.

Neither of them has legs to wear mini skirts so short any more (klum, keipler).

Interesting people can always dress what suits them and get attention.
