Product Insights
The Icône Thick Crepe Wrap Skort pairs a high-rise, shape-retaining waist with a crepe weave that resists wrinkling and drapes softly thanks to a viscose blend, while its recycled polyester cuts carbon and water use significantly; the tradeoff is that line-drying is required and pilling may start after 15–20 wears.
Verified claims
- Laundering
- Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, inside out, and hang dry indoors or in the shade to prevent fading and stretch loss.
- Shape retention
- 6% spandex keeps shape without distorting seams.
- Rise
- High-rise waist at the natural waist offers fuller front coverage.
- Stretch and shape
- 6% spandex blend gives four-way stretch, shape recovery, and no-binding shorts.
- Wrinkle resistance
- The crepe weave helps mask some creasing, but some buyers note the fabric wrinkles and may need a light iron.
- Drape and fit
- Viscose-blend crepe yields a softer drape than polyester-only, enhanced by the high-rise waist.
- Environmental footprint
- From post-consumer PET bottles, cuts CO₂ 30–60% and water 90% vs virgin.
- Performance
- Same strength and quick-drying as virgin polyester, lab-tested.
- Stretch & recovery
- Four-way stretch and shape recovery prevent inner shorts from binding or sagging.
- Softness & breathability
- The 22% viscose blend gives the crepe a softer, more breathable drape than polyester-only.
- Care
- Line-drying preserves stretch; pilling may start after 15–20 wears.
- Material
- 72% recycled polyester, 22% viscose, 6% spandex blend outperforms 100% polyester in stretch and breathability.
- Environmental impact
- 72% recycled polyester reduces carbon emissions by 30–60% and energy use by 59%.
- Built-in shorts
- The skort includes built-in inner shorts, and the spandex blend keeps them from binding when sitting or walking.
- Ironing
- If ironing is needed, use a press cloth and keep the soleplate at or below 150°C (302°F) to avoid scorching viscose or melting spandex.
- Fit and sizing
- Several buyers find the waistband runs slightly small, while others say the fit is true to size.
- Comfort
- Buyers describe the skort as comfortable and flattering.

Dressy casual gatherings like brunches and showers
For dressy casual occasions, this skort's wrap style and thick crepe fabric give it a more elevated look than typical shorts, and per an analysis of customer reviews it has earned compliments at gatherings like brunches and showers. Note that the crepe fabric shows creases easily and, per the same analysis, needs ironing to look sharp — so it's not a grab-and-go piece, and it may need ironing after being packed in a suitcase.[1]
All-day comfort at a desk job
A stretchy waistband and soft crepe fabric make this skort a comfortable pick for long days, including hours of sitting at a desk. Reviewers report it stays comfy even after big meals and doesn't dig in. One thing to expect: seat creases after long sitting that may need a mid-day steam to smooth out.[1]
A flattering wrap-skort option for petite frames
Shoppers 5 feet 3 inches and under describe this skort as a flattering choice for petite frames, with a length that falls just above the knee without overwhelming a shorter frame. The wrap silhouette drapes over the thighs and creates a feminine, proportional shape. Keep in mind this feedback comes from a review analysis, so individual fit can vary.[1]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Thick Crepe Wrap Skort: Choose this if you want a short, black wrap-style skort for dressy-casual occasions: per the reviews analysis, its thick crepe fabric and wrap front look more elevated than typical shorts and earned compliments, and the stretchy waistband stays comfortable for all-day wear. Reviewers with shorter frames (5 feet 3 inches and under) especially liked the flattering, proportional length that falls just above the knee. Be aware the crepe fabric creases easily and needs ironing after packing or long sitting, and sizing is inconsistent — some find it runs small while others find the waist roomy — so trying it on or checking the size chart is recommended.[1,2,3] | Checked Side-Tie Mini Skort: Choose this if you want a mini skort with a wrap-style front and decorative side ties, made from a twill blend of 64% recycled polyester, 34% rayon, and 2% spandex with a soft brushed finish, thin satiny lining, and a hidden back zip. It comes in an A-line silhouette with a front pleat, a belt-loop waistband, and checked plaid patterns in Patterned Grey, Chocolate/Espresso, or Burgundy across sizes X-Small to X-Large. Note that it is a true mini: in size small it measures about 12.75 inches long with a 3-inch inseam and sits above mid-thigh on the model, so consider your coverage comfort before buying.[4,5,6,7] | Faux-Suede Wraparound Mini-Skort: Choose this if you want a mini-length, slightly A-line skort with a wraparound overlapping front panel and slit, made of faux suede with a velvety feel in a straight waistband that sits at the natural waist, with a hidden side zip and short built-in shorts (about a 3-inch inseam in size small, 14.5 inches total length). It is made with recycled polyester (50% polyester, 50% recycled) with a full thin lining per the merchant page, and comes in X-Small to X-Large in Tan or Chocolate/Espresso. Note that the front welt pocket openings appear decorative or shallow, and one source describes the skort as unlined, so confirm pocket function and lining if these matter to you.[8,9,10] |

So comfort
I love this skort. It’s super comfy and it’s very flattering. I could’ve gone with the medium, but I like having a little room in case I eat lots of dessert!
