A comfortable mini skort with a pleated, asymmetric look
Wear this Sacai mini skort when you want a bold, stylish piece that still feels comfortable day to day. The slightly asymmetrical, A-line pleated design ends above mid-thigh, and an elasticized back waist keeps the fit easy. Details like a wide belted waistband with a black fabric belt and a slanted side pocket add to its style-plus-comfort mix.[1,2]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Pleated Mini Skort: Choose this if you want a black pleated mini skort that, per the brand, blends Japanese urban aesthetics with menswear codes through a suiting-inspired pleating interplay. It pairs bold style with comfort thanks to an elasticized back waist, and its tailored details include a removable belt, zip fly, slant pockets, buttoned back welt pockets, and a slightly asymmetrical hem that ends above mid-thigh. Made in Japan from a 70% polyester and 30% wool blend lined in 100% cupro, it comes in sizes 0 to 2 — a fit to keep in mind given the short, high-waisted cut.[1,2,3] | Stripes And Flowers Pleated Midi Skirt: Choose this if you want a designer midi skirt with Sacai's signature contrast styling: one panel in a dark floral print on white, the other in accordion pleats with black, white and dark green stripes. It is cut from flowy, satiny polyester crepe with a cupro lining, sits at the natural waist with a narrow dark waistband and hidden side zip, and falls to mid-calf at about 31.5 inches (80 cm), made in Japan. Note that some sections of the striped panel can appear slightly sheer over the darker underlayer, and Simons lists it in sizes 0 through 3 (size 1 equals XS, 2 equals S, and 3 equals M per the size guide).[4,5,6,7,8,9] | Satiny Stripes Pure Wool Tuxedo Pant: Choose this if you want a relaxed, minimalist black tuxedo pant from Sacai with a refined touch — tone-on-tone satin stripes down the leg, a high rise, loose straight/wide legs, pressed front creases, and a removable matching belt with a metal buckle. It's made in Japan with a 31.5 inch (80 cm) inseam, slant pockets plus rear buttoned piped pockets, a zip fly, and a partial satiny lining (100% cupro), offered in designer sizes 0 to 3 (0 equals XXS up to 3 equals M). Note that despite the name, the main fabric is listed as a wool blend of 70% polyester and 30% wool, not pure wool, and the hem is shown pooling slightly over shoes on the model.[10,11,12,13,14] |
