I'll grant that there are more types of mini-skirt than I realized -- I think the OP (and I) both associate the term miniskirt with the tight, black, generally leather skirt. The iconic mini-skirt.

(Seriously, my sister owns more miniskirts than my entire wardrobe of lower-half items, and none of them are tight, black, or leather.)
