You are not Dutch? Then this is a cultural excurse, especially for students. Something you have to know when you live as a student in the Netherlands.
The first question is: What is a ‘Rokje’?
This is easy to answer. A Rokje is a skirt.
But what is a ‘Rokjesdag’?
This is the day at the beginning of every spring season when girls and women wear for the first time in the year a skirt. The phenomenon exists since a quite long time but was made popular by Martin Bril a Dutch columnist and writer when he used this term in his column ‘Het Parool’.
Now, it becomes warm and we can wait with excitement for the Skirt day in order to welcome the spring.
