Asymmetrical Grey Skirt

Grey Midi Skirt — Asymmetric Jersey with Handkerchief Hem

Size Chart

The waistband is a wide fold-over jersey band, so the figure shown is the flat measurement with ease built in — it sits smaller on the body than the number suggests, and the jersey stretches beyond it. The hem sweep column is the width of the skirt at the bottom, not a hip measurement, so don't compare it to your own. Length is taken at the longest point: the hem falls into deep uneven points and rises considerably in places. Between two sizes, size up.

Soft marl jersey, cut so the hem never settles. A wide band folds over at the top and sits low across the hips, the fabric drapes close through the body, and then the skirt drops into long uneven points that reach mid-calf at one side and lift above the knee at another. There's no structure holding any of it in place, which is exactly why it moves the way it does.

How to Style an Asymmetric Skirt

The hem is doing something complicated, so everything above the waist should be plain and cropped — a white baby tee, a fitted vest, a leather jacket thrown over the top. Slouchy boots or leg warmers pushed down over ankle boots pick up the drapey, half-undone quality; a sharp heel fights it. Because the fold-over band sits low and the jersey drapes rather than grips, this skims the stomach and hip instead of tracing them, which works comfortably across most figures. The pointed hem is the useful part on proportion: diagonal lines read longer than straight ones, so it lengthens the leg at a length that often doesn't.

FAQ

How does the asymmetric hem sit?
It falls into deep points at uneven heights rather than a level line, so the longest sections reach mid-calf while others sit above the knee. The stated length is the longest point, which means the skirt shows more leg than that figure implies.

Where does the waistband sit?
Low on the hips rather than at the natural waist, as a wide jersey band folded over on itself. You can roll it up or down to shift where the skirt sits and how long it hangs, which is the easiest way to adjust the fit.
