Ra-ra Skirt

The rah-rah skirt was a short flounced skirt that became popular in about 1982 and remained fashionable, mostly among teenage girls, for several years. It was derived from the skirts worn by cheer-leaders at American sporting and other events and, as the Oxford Dictionary noted, was the first successful attempt to revive the mini-skirt that had been introduced in the mid 1960s.
