Compared within this brand.
| Two-Tier Knit Maxi Skirt: Choose this for a black maxi skirt with a soft, fluid drape, made of a fine stretch knit with a silky finish in 65% LENZING™ ECOVERO™ viscose and 35% nylon. Its gathered two-tier construction, flare silhouette, and concealed elastic waistband suit anyone wanting an easy, flowy ankle-grazing length (86 cm in size SMALL). Note that it is unlined, and a short slit-like opening appears near the hem in one image.[1,2,3,4] | Pleated Waist Flared Maxi Skirt: Choose this if you want a lightweight, breathable skirt in a 70% TENCEL lyocell and 30% linen blend, with a flared A-line silhouette, soft stitched pleats at the waist, slit side-seam pockets, a hidden back zip, and a waist that is slightly elastic at the back. It is unlined and offered in sizes XX-small through large. Note that although it is named a maxi skirt, image analyses describe a mid-calf to knee-to-calf length and the listed variants are in Mint/Pistachio Green, so the length and color details are worth confirming before ordering.[5,6,7,8] | Pleated Sheer Voile Maxi Skirt: Choose this if you want a breezy, floor-sweeping maxi skirt in breathable 100 percent cotton, since the sheer voile outer layer sits over a full thin lining and pairs a gathered elastic waistband with a flared, A-line drape. The small-medium variant measures 38.5 inches (98 cm) long and comes in an ochre yellow tone, with loose soft pleats giving it a voluminous feel. Note that the inner lining is shorter than the sheer outer layer, so the lower hem appears more transparent.[9,10,11] |
