Selected article

There are many kind of skirts which are/were famous:

Hobble skirt, long and tight skirt with a narrow enough hem to significantly impede the wearer's stride
Poodle skirt, a circle or near-circle skirt with an appliqued poodle or other decoration (1950s)
Kilt, a wrap-around skirt with overlapping aprons in front and pleated around the back. Though traditionally designed as women's wear, it is fashioned to mimic somewhat closely the general appearance of a (man's) kilt, including the usage of a plaid pattern more or less closely resembling those of recognized tartan patterns of Scotland.
Miniskirt, a thigh-length skirt, and micromini, an extremely short version (1960s)
Sarong, a square of fabric wrapped around the body and tied on one hip to make a skirt; worn as a skirt or as a cover-up over a bathing suit in tropical climates.Traditional wear in Bali, Indonesia and many other south east asian countries

Re-make the Coat and Jacket articles, so that they aren't just lists, cause they could just be categories if they don't have their own information, not just summaries of the different coats. Also make sure they don't overlap anymore, leave out all jackets from the coat article and viceversa, this will imply you make an adequate distinction between them. It would also improve the articles to group the types of coats and jackets by sub-categories.
Upload requested photographs of fashion, requested photos of clothing and cosmetics
