Product Insights
The Icône Ponte Pencil Skirt pairs sustainable ECOVERO viscose with an affordable $49 price, delivering a wrinkle-resistant, stretchy knit that holds its shape through all-day wear and coordinates with a matching cardigan for office-to-brunch versatility, but trade-offs include an unlined construction that may cling and require a slip, a non-elastic waistband that can dig in when seated, and seams that fray in machine washing, necessitating hand care.
Verified claims
- Sustainability
- 68% ECOVERO viscose is certified renewable with 50% lower CO2 and water
- Value
- Sustainability transparency is rare at $49 CAD
- Matching set
- Matching cardigan (13410-229465) uses same ECOVERO fabric and color
- Stretch and recovery
- Controlled stretch resists bagging and wrinkling while allowing movement.
- Comfort
- Unlined but opaque knit that is breathable and suitable for fall/winter indoor wear.
- Fit
- The waistband is non-elastic and can dig when sitting; fit is inconsistent, with Pine/Bottle Green running large and some other colors running small.
- Shape retention
- Fabric resists bagging at knees and seat throughout the day.
- Cling
- Unlined but opaque double-knit; buyers confirm it is not see-through, though some would prefer a lining for comfort rather than coverage.
- Versatility
- Polished office staple that pairs with a matching cardigan; green colorways earn praise.
- Zipper quality
- Buyers report holes at the hidden zipper base due to missed stitching.
- Seam finishing
- Buyers report unfinished interior seams that fray after machine washing.
- Hand feel
- Soft and drapey ponte knit with a substantial feel, warm for fall/winter.
- Durability
- Fabric resists bagging and creasing, but seams may fray after washing.
- Opacity
- Double-knit ponte is opaque without a lining; buyers confirm it is not see-through, though some would prefer a lining for added comfort.
- Color description
- The Bronze/Amber color is likely a solid matte shade rather than metallic; the retailer suggests confirming in store before ordering.
- Sizing
- Sizing varies by color, waistband may dig in, and stitching can fray – check reviews.
- Lining
- Double-knit ponte is opaque without a lining.
- Wrinkle resistance
- Wrinkle-resistant ponte survives all-day wear without ironing.
- Set coordination
- Matching cardigan in the same LENZING ECOVERO Viscose fabric and color creates a fall/winter workwear set.
- Sustainability
- The primary fiber is LENZING ECOVERO viscose, with certified renewable wood sourcing and a lower CO2 and water footprint than generic viscose.
- Design origin
- Icône by Simons is an in-house brand designed in Canada, and this skirt reflects that design origin.
- Pilling resistance
- One buyer says the ponte material seems likely to resist pilling and retain its original color.

Très belle coupe et beau
Très belle coupe et beau tissu… j’ai commandé les trois couleur
Jupe verte
Excellent achat, tombe bien et joli vert
Beau modèle
Elle fait bien et extensible, peu de différence entre petit et médium.
love the colour
Ordered this in Pine/Bottle Green and was not disappointed. Fabric is very soft, fit is flattering. Fits large though, I recommend sizing down as I had to exchange for a smaller size. Took one star off because the item arrived with pulls in the fabric.
Love it
Fits true to size. Will be a work wardrobe staple for me. Sleek and comfortable. The material seems like it will resist pilling and retain original colour. This is the all-purpose work skirt I have been waiting for!
Love it

Petite jupe noire
Tissu de qualité taille parfaite .
Smart but not sewn properly at the zipper
I love the style of this but I'll need to return it. I noticed that there's a hole at the bottom of the zipped where the threads weren't properly sewn so I'll either have to fix it myself or return
Belle mais…
Après un lavage, les coutures consolent un peu car elles ne sont pas rabattues. 4 étoiles car j’aime la coupe et le tissu. J’ai commandé le haut qui va avec et ça fait un beau set
Fits really well
I like that the skirt hugs my curves. Although it certainly isn't see-through, I would have preferred a lining for added comfort.
Skirt fits great
Wish they came in more colours!

Great skirt!
This skirt is great for work and very flattering. My only complaint would be that it is not as thick as I would like.
Amazing fit!
This skirt is such a great and flattering fit, and the quality is fantastic. It was my first-ever purchase at Simon's and I'm now completely obsessed with the store as a whole. Amazing quality and very cute designs. Great place to shop for elevated basics.
Too tight
This one’s going back, too tight in the waist with no give. I need to find one that’s elastic waistband.
Great for office wear

Too small
Sadly this was much smaller than the size chart and the material doesn't have much give. Had to return.
Superbe
La couleur et la coupe sont parfaites
Small fits like a size small
Great material and fits well.
Very classy
Perfect
