A structured black shoulder bag and a flat sandal or a low boot keep it looking sharp rather than nautical, and silver jewellery suits the graphic quality better than gold. On fit, a rib knit this close reads beautifully on hourglass and slim straight figures because the stripes bend around the body and show off the line; the flip side is that it hides nothing at all through the stomach and hip, so if you'd rather not have that level of definition, look for the same stripe on a woven A-line where the fabric falls away from you instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy do the measurements in the size chart look so small?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause they're taken on the rib knit lying flat and unstretched, not on the body the size is meant to fit. Rib knit contracts a long way at rest and then opens out considerably when worn, so a 29-inch hip figure will comfortably fit a standard UK 8 hip — go by the UK size column rather than trying to match your own measurements to the numbers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this skirt fitted through the legs?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, it stays close from the waist all the way down to the knee before releasing into a soft flare, which makes it more body-conscious than a typical maxi. That also means the UK sizes can feel a size tighter than you're used to, so if you're between sizes, or your thighs are fuller than your waist would suggest, take the larger one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo horizontal stripes suit everyone?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNot equally, no — wide horizontal stripes draw the eye across, so they emphasise whatever they cross, and on a fitted maxi that means the hip and thigh in particular. They look best if you want that width acknowledged rather than minimised; if you'd rather the eye travelled downwards, a vertical stripe or a plain dark maxi will do the elongating for you.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The skirt edit","offers":[{"title":"S","offer_id":58389392228687,"sku":"14:771#1;5:100014064","price":44.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"M","offer_id":58389392195919,"sku":"14:771#1;5:361386","price":44.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"L","offer_id":58389392163151,"sku":"14:771#1;5:361385","price":44.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"XL","offer_id":58389392130383,"sku":"14:771#1;5:100014065","price":44.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1027\/1162\/4015\/files\/Black-And-White-Stripe-Long-Skirt.webp?v=1786111274","url":"https:\/\/theskirtedit.co.uk\/products\/black-and-white-stripe-long-skirt","provider":"The skirt edit","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
