High Waist Slit Skirt in Black

A long black skirt is one of the quietly essential pieces, and this one keeps the formula clean. The waist sits high, which is what gives the whole silhouette its length, and a slit runs up the leg to break the line and let you actually walk. There is nothing else going on, and that is the point. It is a foundation piece rather than a statement, and it will outlast whatever is trending.

It is made from 100% polyester and it is not lined, which keeps it light and makes it an easier wear in warm weather than a heavier lined skirt would be. Length runs from 38.6 inches in a small to 39.4 inches in a large, so it falls long on most heights. The waist measures 24.4 inches through to 28.3 inches across the range with the hip moving from 36.2 inches to 40.2 inches, and since no stretch is specified by the maker it is worth checking those numbers against your own before choosing a size.

Black and long means it goes almost anywhere. A fitted top tucked in and heels reads as evening. A plain tee tucked in with trainers takes the formality straight back out. A knit tucked at the front and a pair of boots carries it through cooler months. The slit is what keeps all of that comfortable, so let it sit where it falls rather than fighting it.
