Product Insights
Icône's ruffled asymmetrical tier midi skirt, priced at $79 CAD and in stock, creates a continuous vertical line when paired with a fitted tonal top, while ankle boots and sheer tights ground the hem. The elastic waist and flared fit bypass hip measurements for curvy builds, and the 36-inch hem on a size small falls mid-calf at 5 foot 5 and near ankle at 5 foot 2. Made from 100% polyester micromesh with a built-in silky lining, the skirt resists pilling, fading, and stretching, and is fully opaque. At this price, it undercuts similar designs including a comparable & Other Stories skirt originally $119 USD. Care requires washing in a laundry bag on cold delicate with mild detergent, no fabric softener, and hanging to dry; storing on a padded hanger or folding along natural seams prevents creasing.

Deep Research
Styling ideas for the asymmetrical tiered silhouette
- Wearing a top in a matching or slightly lighter shade of chocolate brown tricks the eye into reading one uninterrupted vertical line, which counteracts the shortening effect the asymmetrical high-low hem can have and makes the ruffled tiers flow without visual interruption — a trick for asymmetrical skirts that flatters shorter frames in particular.
- Replacing the casual top with a fitted black or deep-brown bodysuit eliminates any waistline bulk and creates a seamless curve from neck to hem, letting the tiered ruffles and frilly trim take center stage for occasions where the skirt’s dramatic silhouette reads as intentionally dressed up.
- Because the flared fit and tiered ruffles create volume, leaving a top untucked introduces a competing horizontal line that cuts the torso; tucking a slim tank or knit completely into the elastic waistband keeps the silhouette vertical from waist to the longest point of the asymmetrical hem.
- Ankle boots that hit where the skirt falls longest — for most asymmetrical midi cuts, that's the back or lower side — visually anchor the uneven hemline and prevent the ruffled flared shape from looking ungrounded, a styling rule specifically recommended for dramatic asymmetrical skirts.
- Transitioning into fall, a cropped chocolate-brown knit that sits just above or at the high elastic waist preserves the flared proportion and elongates the silhouette; this tonal brown-on-brown approach keeps the eye on the tiered ruffles while adding seasonal warmth, a technique endorsed by boho-skirt styling guides for high-waist ruffled skirts.
- Because the micromesh fabric is semi-sheer behind the lining, layering sheer chocolate-brown tights underneath allows the skirt's asymmetrical ruffles to move freely while providing coverage and warmth in cooler months, extending the wearability of this romantic piece into fall without bulk.
Washing and maintaining the fabric and ruffles
- Using fabric softener is counterproductive for micromesh — it can clog the microscopic pores that give the fabric its signature breathability, and over time a waxy buildup may cause the supple mesh and frilly trim to feel stiff rather than drapey.
- To avoid permanent creases that would flatten the tiered ruffles and disrupt the flared silhouette, store the skirt folded along natural seams or hung on a padded hanger; micromesh fabric is noted to develop permanent creases when repeatedly folded in the same place.
- The polyester micromesh used in this skirt is engineered to resist pilling, fading, and stretching through repeated wash cycles, so the deep chocolate/espresso hue and the matte mesh surface retain their out-of-the-box freshness far longer than a non-performance poly.
- Washing this micromesh skirt inside a laundry bag on a delicate cycle with cool water and mild detergent protects the fine mesh weave from snagging and the tiered ruffles from agitational damage, extending the life of the frilly trim.
How the fit runs and real-world sizing notes
- The skirt uses a full elastic waistband with no zipper, buttons, or fixed closure, so it slips on like a pull-on and can comfortably stretch to fit a wider range of waist sizes than a rigid-waist midi, while still staying secure.
- Because the fit is flared from the waist down, there's no need to match hip or thigh measurements; the only real sizing decision is whether the waistband sits comfortably, which makes this an easy pick for pear shapes and curvier lower bodies that often struggle with narrow-cut skirts.
- On a typical small, the 36-inch (92 cm) length will reach mid-calf on a wearer around 5'5", hitting just below the widest part of the calf for a classic midi proportion; taller women will see it sit higher on the calf, while on a petite 5'2" frame it may fall closer to the ankle.
What to expect from the micromesh fabric
- A full silky lining sits behind the micromesh, providing a smooth glide against skin that eliminates any potential scratchiness from the mesh — a comfort detail that makes the skirt feel more premium than an unlined alternative.
How it stacks up against similar midi skirts
- As a Simons-owned house brand, Icône bypasses wholesale markups and external label premiums, which is how a skirt with four distinct design features—asymmetrical tiering, tiered ruffles, frilly trim, and a micromesh-over-lining fabric architecture—retails at $79 CAD, a price bracket that typically accommodates only simpler pull-on midis in multi-brand boutiques.
- Within the broader Icône midi/maxi skirt range — which includes micromesh wraps at $59, satiny midis at $59–$69, and embroidered or tulle options at $79–$89 — this ruffled asymmetrical tier style sits at the upper end of the brand's core pricing, reflecting its higher number of construction elements (three tiers, asymmetrical cut, frilled hem) while still staying under $80 CAD.
- The & Other Stories version originally retailed for $119 USD before being marked down to $69, and shares a nearly identical silhouette—asymmetric hem, gathered ruffle tiers, and a lined interior—making the Icône skirt's full-time $79 CAD ($55 USD) a permanent rather than temporary price advantage for a comparable design.

Q&A
1 answered- Is the skirt opaque, or does the micromesh require the lining to prevent see-through?
- The micromesh fabric is semi-sheer, which is why we include a built-in fine silky lining to ensure the skirt is opaque and not see-through.
