Product Insights

The Back Slit Linen-Lyocell Skirt from Contemporaine combines a slub-weave linen and Tencel lyocell blend that is breathable, moisture-wicking, and cooling by up to 3-4°C, with wrinkle resistance and crease hiding from first wear. The straight slim fit and centre back vent create a tailored, work-appropriate silhouette, though the side slant pockets are less accessible when sitting and best for flat items. At 89 CAD, it offers a cleaner line than elastic-waist competitors and costs 38% less than Madewell's pocketless version, while its Tencel lyocell content enhances dye fastness for lasting black color.

Verified claims

Visual depth
Slub texture adds micro-shadows and organic depth to black fabric, avoiding a flat look.
Fabric behavior
Slub weave creates sharper folds and hides creases from sitting.
Hand feel
Supple hand that avoids scratchiness, due to Tencel lyocell in the blend.
Drape
Slub fabric falls in sharp architectural folds yet moves with fluidity from Tencel.
Breathability
Slub weave boosts airflow through micro air pockets.
Wrinkle resistance
Slub unevenness hides creases; Tencel lyocell adds wrinkle resistance.
Moisture wicking
Absorbs about twice as much moisture as cotton and dries quickly.
Cooling
Lowers skin temperature by up to 3-4°C with linen and adds Tencel cooling sensation.
Fade resistance
The TENCEL-lyocell blend makes black color last longer than pure linen alternatives.
Back vent
Centre back vent is the only mechanical allowance for stride in the straight slim fit.
Pocket accessibility
Side slant pockets are less accessible when sitting due to the slim fit.
Workplace suitability
32-inch tailored fit with vent makes it more work-appropriate than lighter alternatives.
Care
70% TENCEL lyocell, 30% linen blend resists wrinkles, wicks moisture, and softens instantly.
Fit and silhouette
Non-elastic waistband and straight slim fit provide a cleaner silhouette than elastic-waist competitors.
Pocket usability
Pockets accommodate only flat items, become inaccessible when seated, and telegraph bulky contents.
Value
Pocketed linen-blend skirt costs 38% less than Madewell’s pocketless version at sale price.
Dye fastness
Tencel lyocell's dye fastness keeps black colour from fading through repeated washes, extending garment life.
Wrinkle handling
70% TENCEL lyocell gives wrinkle resistance better than linen; slub texture hides creases, no break-in needed.
Break-in
Skirt is soft and comfortable from the first wear, with no break-in period.
Fit and design
Straight slim profile, center back vent, and side slant pockets create a polished yet mobile look suitable for office and weekends.
