Rah-rah skirt

As such it marked, as the Oxford Dictionary noted, the first successful attempt to revive the miniskirt that had been introduced in the mid-1960s.

[5] The mini regained popularity in the 1990s on its own, largely eschewing the rah-rah's frills.

The latter eventually made a comeback in Britain in 2008, proclaiming that "Eighties look is all the ra-rave.

"[6] Examples of the rah-rah were to be seen on the covers of music albums such as Since Yesterday by Strawberry Switchblade (1984).

While the rah-rah skirt first originated in cheerleading, they were introduced to mainstream fashion in 1982.
