Compared within this brand.
| Black-And-White Gingham Maxi Skirt: Choose this if you want a full, flowing maxi skirt in a lightweight 100% cotton with a small black-and-white gingham check, made more comfortable by an elastic waistband at the back and practical slit side-seam pockets. It has a flared A-line silhouette with gathered volume that falls to around ankle length at 90 cm (35.5 inches) for the small-to-medium size, and a full thin lining adds coverage. Note that the cotton weave gives the check a soft, slightly uneven hem rather than a crisp structured one.[1,2] | Nocturnal Plaid Pleated Chiffon Skirt: Choose this for a fluid, mid-calf A-line silhouette featuring a diagonal plaid pattern in dark and warm neutral tones. This piece is constructed from a sheer chiffon outer layer with uniform narrow pleats and a fitted natural waist. Though the shell is made from 100% polyester sourced from recycled plastic bottles, the lining is also composed of 100% polyester.[3,4,5] | Striped Lightweight Poplin Maxi Skirt: Choose this if you want a lightweight 100% cotton poplin maxi skirt with a smooth, gently flared A-line drape and a floor-sweeping 37.5 inch (95 cm) length. It suits wearers who prefer a gathered waistband with elastic at the back for ease, plus side slit pockets and a vertical navy-and-white stripe on a yellow ground (with a Pink colorway also listed). Note that the ankle-grazing length is shown on the model, so where the hem falls may vary on other wearers.[6,7,8,9] |
