Product Insights
Twik's Checkered Tiered Miniskirt, at $69 CAD, is a 100% cotton skort with a hidden drawcord for waist adjustability and a two-tier gathered A-line silhouette; the cotton shell dissipates static and breathes better than polyester blends, but preserving its shape requires cold washing, line drying flat, and low-heat ironing with a pressing cloth, and the shorts lining lacks pockets—a common feature in competing skorts. Designed in Canada as a Simons-exclusive, it offers full coverage and unrestricted movement while providing a flattering, adjustable fit.
Verified claims
- Waist adjustability
- Drawcord cinches waist tighter than elastic alone.
- Static control
- Cotton shell dissipates static, keeping skirt from clinging.
- Material
- 100% cotton main fabric — breathes better and resists static cling vs polyester blends
- Care
- Cold wash and line dry flat; iron on low with pressing cloth — cotton shrinks, polyester melts
- Fit
- A-line silhouette and hidden drawcord create a flattering, adjustable fit.
- Pockets
- Shorts lining lacks pockets.
- Silhouette
- Two-tier gathered design creates flared silhouette that flatters various figures and allows free movement.
- Fabric behavior
- Cotton shell drapes softly and resists static, preserving the flared shape.
- Shape maintenance
- Preserve A-line shape by drying flat and washing cold to avoid stretching or puckering.
- Movement
- The shorts lining and elastic drawcord waist allow free movement during active wear, so the tiered design is not restrictive, and the lining provides full coverage.
- Comfort
- Cotton shell provides breathability and reduces static cling.
- Drying
- Line dry flat; never hang or machine dry.
- Washing
- Wash in cold water to prevent puckering from differential shrinkage.
- Ironing
- Iron on low heat with a pressing cloth to protect the lining.
- Design origin
- Twik is a Simons-exclusive private label designed in Canada.
- Value
- At $39.95, this cotton skirt undercuts fast-fashion by $10+.
- Design details
- Hidden drawcord and tiered silhouette set it apart from basic skorts.
- Static reduction
- Cotton shell dissipates static charge; polyester lining reduces friction.
- Design origin
- Twik skorts are designed in Canada and retailed exclusively through Simons.
- Hem width
- The 13.5-inch hem width works with the tiered construction to give the skirt a noticeable A-line flare.

| Checkered Tiered Miniskirt: Choose this if you want a Twik skort-style miniskirt with a built-in shorts lining, an elastic drawcord waist that sits at the natural waist, and a flared two-tier body with gathered ruffles and a ruffled hem. It is made of 100 percent cotton poplin in a small navy-and-white checkered gingham pattern, with a comfortable stretch waistband, and comes in SMALL, MEDIUM, and LARGE sizes in the single Patterned Blue colorway. Be aware it is very short—shown falling above mid-thigh on the model—so it suits shoppers comfortable with a mini length.[1,2,3,4,5] | Checked Ruffle Miniskirt: Choose this if you want a short, flared A-line miniskirt in a small navy-and-white gingham check, with three gathered ruffle tiers finished with narrow navy trim, a wide shirred elastic waist with side ties, and built-in shorts lining in a 60% cotton, 40% polyester fabric that is about 14.25 inches (36 cm) long. It is offered only in one size, in Navy/Midnight Blue and Patterned Red, and the fabric is slightly textured and not sheer in most areas.[6,7,8] | Patterned Poplin Mini-Skort: Choose this if you want a light cotton poplin mini skort with built-in shorts, a hidden side zip, and a narrow self-tie bow at the waist. It suits shoppers looking for a short A-line silhouette with a gingham check pattern, belt loops, slanted side pocket openings, and a 13 inch (33 cm) hem that falls above mid-thigh, in Navy/Midnight Blue or Burgundy from X-SMALL to X-LARGE. Note that the hem placement depends on individual proportions, and no external back pockets are visible on this style.[9,10,11,12] |
