How to Style It
Why It Works
A center back zip keeps the front panel completely smooth, making this one of the cleanest pencil silhouettes in the category.
- The center back zip placement eliminates all visible hardware from the front, producing an unbroken tailored line from waist to hem
- The 29-inch midi length and pencil cut make it credible across a full range of professional occasions, from Monday morning meetings to Friday client dinners
- The polyester-viscose-elastane fabric holds its shape through a full workday without the stiffness of a pure suiting fabric
Use Cases
- Monday morning team presentation
- Client lunch in a business-casual setting
- Friday office day paired with a blazer
- Evening work event or professional dinner
Compatibility
- Pairs With: Tailored blouse or silk-finish top, Fitted knit top, Structured blazer, Leather or faux-leather handbag
- Outfit Contexts: Morning client presentation, Office lunch meeting, After-work dinner reservation
Fit Logic
- Silhouette: Straight pencil cut from a mid natural waist, tapering slightly through the hip and thigh to a clean hem at 29 inches, just below the knee. No front darts or seams — the front panel is entirely smooth.
- Best For: Works best on straight and hourglass frames; the pencil cut follows the body's line without adding volume. The 29-inch length is most proportionate on average to tall heights; petite frames may prefer to have it hemmed.
- Styling Tip: Tuck a slim-fit blouse or fine-gauge knit fully into the waistband to keep the clean front panel visible and the overall line sharp.
Care Notes
- Fabric: Shell: 66% polyester, 32% viscose, 2% elastane. Lining: 100% polyester
- Washing: Machine wash cold
- Drying: Lay flat or tumble dry on low to preserve fabric structure and lining
- Ironing: If needed, press on low heat through a pressing cloth to protect the woven surface
- Special Notes: The elastane content provides stretch retention — avoid high heat, which can degrade stretch fibers over time

Does the skirt have any stretch, or is it stiff like a traditional suiting fabric?
The shell fabric contains a small amount of elastane alongside polyester and viscose, which gives it a modest amount of stretch. It holds its structure well throughout the day while still allowing comfortable movement.
Where exactly does the 29-inch length fall on the body?
At 29 inches from the natural waist, the hem lands just below the knee on most average-height frames. On taller frames it may sit at or just above the knee. On petite frames it may fall closer to mid-calf.
Is the skirt lined, and does that affect how it fits over the hips?
Yes, the skirt has a full 100% polyester lining. This helps the skirt glide on smoothly over the hip and thigh and prevents the outer fabric from clinging or pulling during wear.
