Tailored Belted Full Midi Skirt

Deep box pleats run from the waistband and open into a full, sweeping midi skirt that moves with real weight and intention - not a swish of fabric but a proper, considered swing. The integrated belt sits across the high waist with a tailored buckle detail, cinching the silhouette without the need for any additional styling effort. Cut to an 83cm length, it falls well below the knee, landing at a midi point that reads refined rather than reserved. The fabric carries a soft drape and cool handfeel, skimming the body through the hips before releasing into the pleated volume below. A slim side-seam pocket sits flush against the hip, visible but unobtrusive - the kind of practical detail that doesn't interrupt the line. This skirt works hardest when paired with something structured on top - a fitted long-sleeve shirt tucked in cleanly, as shown here, keeps the proportions sharp and lets the pleated volume do the talking. The belted waist means you don't need to overthink the tucking; it holds everything in place with a precision that a separate belt rarely achieves. For a polished daytime look, pair with pointed-toe heels and a substantial leather bag to ground the softness of the skirt's movement. Come evening, a sleek knit bodysuit and strappy heeled mules shift the register without losing the sophistication. The midi length makes it equally suited to a client lunch, a gallery opening, or a well-dressed Saturday in the city - the kind of piece that earns its place in a considered wardrobe by working across contexts without being restyled from scratch each time.
