| Kilt-Like Checkered Miniskirt: Choose this if you want a kilt-inspired mini with a pleated, flared A-line shape in a small brown check pattern — the lightweight wool-blend fabric has a full satiny lining, and the narrow waistband sits at the natural waist with a hidden side zip. At 45 cm (about 17.75 inches) long in a size 4, the hem falls above the knee, and the lining is 100% polyester made from recycled plastic bottles. Note that the pattern is described variously as a check, glen plaid, or houndstooth-like weave, and the skirt is listed in only one colorway (Patterned Brown) across sizes 4 through 16.[1,2,3,4] | Felted Wool Miniskirt: Choose this if you want a short, slightly flared A-line miniskirt in a supple double-sided felted wool blend (50% wool, 50% polyester) with a fine silky lining made from recycled plastic bottles and a hidden back zip. It suits shoppers drawn to its clean, minimalist look: a narrow waistband with no visible belt loops, plain front panel without pockets, and a straight, evenly stitched hem that falls above the knee (about 18.5 inches, or 47 centimeters, in size 4). Note that the skirt has no visible pockets or fasteners on the front, so it's best if you don't need built-in storage.[5,6,7,8] | Crossover Linen-Cotton Miniskirt: Choose this for a high-waisted, A-line miniskirt with a wraparound crossover front secured by a single button and a hidden back zip, in a breathable 55% organic linen and 45% cotton twill with a silky lining and an 18 inch (46 cm) length. It suits shoppers who want a structured yet lightweight short skirt in Black or Royal/Sapphire Blue. Note the limited size range: Black comes only in X-SMALL and X-LARGE, while Royal/Sapphire Blue runs X-SMALL to X-LARGE.[9,10,11] |
