Two years ago, f(x) made a comeback with “First Love,” and wore tennis skirts during promotions. Since then, other girl groups have begun to wear tennis skirts too.

The style spread from celebrities and became a trend among commoners too. 

I know that other people wore tennis skirts before f(x) but after “First Love” promotions, people were calling the style the “Krystal skirt,” and the word became really popular. 

Now I see people wearing tennis skirts on the streets wherever I go.
