The term ‘microskirt’ refers to a skirt of an excessively short length, usually ending just at the thighs and usually only covers the crotch and butt and…not really anything else.
Thus it can be considered the ultra promiscuous skirt type.

Scientists have long pondered over this question and…I believe I have found a solution.

It’s actually much simpler than expected: a microskirt is acceptable when combined with short shorts.
This allows the microskirt to appear like a skirt, but it doesn’t actually expose anything.
Thus: modesty is preserved and all is well.

This may also possibly make short shorts slightly more acceptable too? After all, they’ll look more skirt-like.

Really, a microskirt is more like an accessory for layering than a piece of clothing.
