Smocked Printed Skirt

A long printed skirt does something a pair of trousers never quite manages, which is to make getting dressed feel like an event without asking anything extra of you. This one leans on two details to do the work. The smocked waist gathers softly and stretches with you, and the tie at the waist lets you decide how cinched or how loose the whole thing sits on any given day.

The fabric is 96% polyester and 4% elastane, and the body is not lined. The smocking is what gives the waist its generous range, and you can see that in the numbers below, where the waist on a size S runs anywhere from 25.2 to 38.6 inches. Lengths sit between 37.8 and 39.4 inches across sizes S to XL, so this is a genuinely long skirt that falls well past the knee. The hip measurements are roomy by design, which is where the movement in the print comes from when you walk.

The green print is the kind that does most of the styling for you. Keep the top half simple with a fitted white tank or a plain black tee tucked in, add flat sandals, and let the skirt carry the outfit. A cropped top works nicely with the high smocked waist if you want to show a sliver of the tie detail. For evening, swap in a black bodysuit and a pair of heeled sandals. It packs down small for travel, shakes out without much fuss, and covers you for warm weather days when jeans are simply not an option.
