This is a distinct impression gained on a coast to coast fashion tour this fall. And if you d like to speculate about the reasons it May be that in civil service City where women outnumber men the mini skirt is a Way of catching the Eye of choosy males.

They Are most popular in Vancouver where casual dress is the fashion and least popular in Halifax with its More conservative approach to styles but again it s the younger crowd who Are showing the most immediate enthusiasm.
