Product Insights
Back Slit Faux-Leather Skirt 50% polyurethane, 50% polyester made from recycled plastic bottles. Fits true to the Contemporaine size chart, but the shell has no give; between sizes, take the larger one. Center back vent opens from the hem upward to add stride room and reduce hem ride-up; it should lie closed when standing. Flat 99 CAD across the entire matrix, with no color or large-size upcharge. The fitted, non-stretch shell is unforgiving if sizing is off, though the back vent supports stride.
Verified claims
- Fit
- Fits true to the Contemporaine size chart, but the shell has no give; between sizes, take the larger one.
- Sizing
- Choose by natural waist and fullest hip measurements, not by letter size alone.
- Silhouette
- High-waisted pencil midi fitted through the hips, with a narrow, slightly A-line fall to the hem.
- Length
- 77 cm (30.25 inches) in size Small, landing mid-calf.
- Material
- 50% polyurethane, 50% polyester made from recycled plastic bottles.
- Finish
- Glossy faux leather with a delicately crackled texture and reflective highlights.
- Lining
- Unlined; the velvety underside is the faux leather's brushed backing, not a separate lining.
- Comfort
- The unlined velvety backing can cling over bare legs in warm or humid weather; tights or a slip solve it.
- Care
- Machine wash cold on gentle cycle inside out, hang to air-dry; do not bleach, tumble dry, iron or press.
- Durability
- Gentle care helps prevent the polyurethane finish from cracking or peeling, though cost-effective faux leathers may have a limited lifespan.
- Waistband
- Tailored waistband with belt loops, zip fly and hidden hook, designed to sit at the natural waist.
- Construction
- Paneled construction with center-front, center-back and side vertical seams.
- Vent
- Center back vent opens from the hem upward to add stride room and reduce hem ride-up; it should lie closed when standing.
- Styling
- Polished midi styling with tucked tops and boots; black is the versatile default, burgundy the richer alternative.
- Use cases
- Suited to polished office, evening and cool-weather outfits, especially with tights or boots.
- Sustainability
- Partially made with polyester from recycled plastic bottles.
- Tradeoff
- The fitted, non-stretch shell is unforgiving if sizing is off, though the back vent supports stride.
- Comparison
- A faux-leather alternative to genuine leather; cost-effective PU styles may not last as long as leather.

Styled with tucked-in tops and knee-high boots
This high-waisted midi faux-leather skirt is shown styled with a red knit top tucked into the waistband and black knee-high boots, an easy pairing for a polished day-to-night look. The straight, narrow silhouette falling below the knee leaves room at the hem for boots, while the tucked top shows off the defined waistband.[2,3,4]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Back Slit Faux-Leather Skirt: Choose this if you want a high-waisted faux-leather midi pencil skirt with a glossy, delicately crackled texture, a velvety underside, and a centered back vent for easier movement. It has a narrow natural-waist waistband with belt loops, a zip fly and hidden hook, vertical seams, and a clean straight hem, and it is made of 50% polyurethane and 50% polyester from recycled plastic bottles. It comes in Black or Burgundy in sizes X-SMALL to X-LARGE; the measured length of 77 cm (30.25 inches) applies to size SMALL, so other sizes may fall differently.[1,2,3,4] | Back Slit Linen-Lyocell Skirt: Choose this if you want a straight, slim-fit midi skirt with a back vent, made from a breathable blend of 70 percent TENCEL™ lyocell and 30 percent linen in supple yet heavyweight slub fabric designed for a beautiful drape. It suits shoppers who value practical details like side slant pockets, a waistband with belt loops, and a center back slit, available in Black and Sand in sizes 2 through 14. Note that the 32 inch (81 cm) length may not apply to all sizes.[5,6] | Stretch Gingham Pencil Skirt: Choose this if you want a high-waist, midi-length gingham pencil skirt with a clingy, figure-hugging straight cut and a back slit that reviewers say works for office or smart-casual wear and travel. Its wrinkle-free, easy-care fabric is described as washing and hanging well, rolling small for packing, and staying cool and breathable while lined to prevent show-through. Skip it if you prefer a relaxed or modest fit, as reviewers report it may run too tight, especially on fuller hips.[7,8,9,10] |
