Pleated skirts

Vibrant colours and a drape that moves beautifully – these are the qualities loved about skirts, and the luxurious feel of the material reinforces the premium impression they make. The silhouette works across formal and casual settings, which extends their usefulness considerably. Length tends to run long and may require tailoring for shorter frames. Sizing is worth approaching carefully: some styles run true, others vary between colourways of the same style, and those between sizes generally find sizing down the more reliable choice.

Clean, reinforced seams and secure waistbands are the construction details that carry a pleated skirt's structure across repeated wear. The waistband needs to hold its position and shape to keep the pleats falling correctly, and the seam finishing throughout needs to be precise enough to maintain the garment's silhouette over time. Polyester and viscose blends are chosen specifically for their pleat retention and drape – fabrics selected because they support the construction's visual intention rather than working against it. Colorfastness is a consistent strength, confirming that the fabric quality holds up alongside the build.

Polyester and recycled polyester blends sit at the performance end of the range. These are fabrics with exceptional pleat retention and wrinkle resistance that keep the skirt looking polished through a full day of wear. Viscose woven into the blend adds a softer, more fluid quality and improved breathability, giving the fabric a more natural feel than polyester alone. A touch of elastane provides ease of movement without disrupting the clean line of the pleat. Merino wool, available in elevated styles, brings natural temperature regulation and a sophisticated finish that suits the skirt's more formal applications particularly well.

The waistband should sit at the natural waist without cinching or shifting during movement, allowing the pleats to fall evenly from the hip without flaring. Fabric should hang with fluid movement when walking, and the hemline should fall evenly across its full circumference. For midi and maxi lengths, the hem should hit its intended point – mid-calf or ankle. Sizing is generally true to size, though some styles run slightly generous, making individual product measurements worth consulting before ordering.
