THE FIT GUIDE: FINDING YOUR PERFECT SKIRT

A-Line Skirts: Fitted at the waist, flaring out. Universally flattering, especially for pear shapes and those wanting to balance broader shoulders. Creates a beautiful hourglass illusion.

Pencil Skirts: Straight cut that follows the body's curves. Best for hourglass and athletic figures. Look for styles with stretch or a back split for ease of movement.

Wrap Skirts: Adjustable fit that cinches at the waist. Flattering for most body types, particularly those wanting to define their waist. The asymmetric hem adds visual interest.

Pleated Skirts: Volume with structure. Flatters most shapes – the vertical lines of pleats create a lengthening effect. Best on those with straighter hips; if you have curvy hips, look for styles with softer pleats that lie flat over the hip area.

Maxi Skirts: Full-length elegance. Best for taller frames or those who love a dramatic silhouette. For petites, choose a maxi with a higher waist and heels to avoid overwhelming your frame.

Midi Skirts: The most versatile length. Flatters most heights – for petites, choose a midi that hits at the slimmest part of the calf (usually just below the knee). For taller women, a mid-calf length works beautifully.

THE LENGTH GUIDE: CHOOSING YOUR IDEAL SKIRT LENGTH

Mini Skirts: Hem falls above the knee. Best for casual looks, warmer weather, and those confident showing leg. Pair with flats for balance or heels for elongation.

Knee-Length Skirts: Hem hits at or just below the knee. A classic, modest choice perfect for work and professional settings. Can feel traditional – modernise with contemporary styling.

Midi Skirts: Hem falls between knee and ankle. Universally flattering and endlessly versatile. The most popular length for its elegance and practicality.

Maxi Skirts: Hem falls at or near the ankle. Dramatic and elegant. Perfect for evenings, holidays, and those who prefer maximum coverage.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: WOMEN'S SKIRTS

What is the most flattering skirt length?

The midi length (hitting between the knee and ankle) is widely considered the most universally flattering. It offers coverage while showing a slim part of the leg (the ankle or calf). However, the most flattering length depends on your height and proportions – our fit guide above can help you choose.

How do I find the right skirt size?

We recommend checking the size guide on each product page, which includes waist and hip measurements. Our skirts are cut to fit UK sizes 6-18 consistently. For wrap skirts and styles with stretch, you have more flexibility. When in doubt between two sizes, consider where you carry your weight – if in hips, size up; if waist, consider the fabric's stretch.

Are your leather skirts real leather?

Yes. Our leather skirts are crafted from 100% genuine lambskin or cowhide leather, sourced from tanneries committed to responsible practices. Lambskin is exceptionally soft and supple; cowhide offers more structure. Care instructions are included with each garment.

What top goes with a midi skirt?

The beauty of a midi skirt is its versatility. For a balanced look, tuck in your top to define the waist. A fitted t-shirt, silk blouse, fine-gauge knit, or even a bodysuit all work beautifully. For a more relaxed feel, try a half-tuck with an oversized jumper.

Are your silk skirts lined?

Yes, our silk skirts feature quality linings to ensure opacity, comfort, and beautiful drape. The lining allows the skirt to move independently and prevents clinging.

What skirts are suitable for work?

Our pencil skirts, A-line skirts, and tailored midi skirts in work-appropriate fabrics (crepe, stretch cotton, wool) are perfect for the office. Look for styles with modest lengths (knee-length or midi) and professional finishes. Pair with blouses, knitwear, and blazers.

How do I care for my pleated skirt?

Pleats require gentle care to maintain their shape. We recommend dry cleaning for most pleated skirts. If machine washing is permitted (check the care label), use a gentle cycle and place the skirt in a mesh bag. Hang to dry – never wring. Ironing pleats is tricky; steaming is often better.

What is your returns policy on skirts?

We offer free UK returns within 28 days on all full-price skirts. Skirts must be unworn with original tags attached. Given the importance of fit, we encourage you to try on skirts at home – we want you to love your purchase.

Can petites wear midi skirts?

Absolutely. The key for petites is to choose a midi skirt that hits at the slimmest part of your calf (usually just below the knee) rather than mid-calf, which can shorten the leg. Pair with heels or heeled boots and tuck in your top to create a lengthening effect.

What shoes should I wear with a maxi skirt?

Maxi skirts are wonderfully versatile. For a casual look, wear with flat sandals or trainers (the skirt should just skim the top of the shoe). For evening, add heeled sandals or wedges. In cooler months, ankle boots work surprisingly well – just ensure the skirt doesn't bunch awkwardly.

SKIRT CARE GUIDE: KEEPING YOUR SKIRTS BEAUTIFUL

Silk & Satin: Dry clean only. Store on padded hangers or folded. Keep away from direct sunlight and perfumes.

Leather: Professional leather cleaning only. Condition every 6-12 months. Store on wide, padded hangers. Avoid moisture and direct heat.

Wool & Tweed: Dry clean only. Use a garment brush to refresh between cleans. Store on padded hangers. Watch for moths – use cedar blocks in your wardrobe.

Cotton & Linen: Machine wash gentle according to care label. Hang to dry. Iron while damp for a crisp finish. Linen softens beautifully with each wash.

Denim: Wash inside out at 30 degrees to preserve colour. Avoid tumble drying to maintain fit. Denim improves with age.

Pleated Skirts: Dry clean recommended. Store flat or hung with clips on the waistband – never fold pleats. Steam to refresh, avoiding direct contact with the iron.
