Match your waist measurement to the chart. This is a slim, structured mini, so if you're between sizes or prefer a little more room, size up.
The black velvet mini skirt brings a little luxury to everyday dressing. In a deep, soft black velvet that catches the light beautifully, it's cut into a high-waisted mini and finished with a gold zip and a hanging star charm down the front, plus a subtly asymmetric slit hem. The result is polished but never stiff — the sort of skirt that works at a desk and just as easily after dark.

How to Style a Black Velvet Mini Skirt
Velvet feels instantly polished, so it takes both smart and casual in its stride. A chunky grey or cream knit, as shown, keeps it cosy and office-ready for autumn; a fitted black top and heeled boots take it out for the evening, while a crisp white shirt tucked in leans sharp and professional. Because the waist sits high, a cropped or tucked top shows the line and the gold zip off best. Being a mini, tights make it a true cold-weather piece: opaque black tights with ankle or knee-high boots and a longline coat. Gold jewellery echoes the star zip, and a small bag finishes it. The slim, high-waisted cut flatters most shapes, defining the waist, while the short length and slit hem add leg and a little edge.
Can You Wear a Velvet Skirt to the Office?
Yes — velvet reads as polished and elevated, so a sleek black velvet mini works well for smart-casual workplaces, especially styled with a knit or a tucked shirt and opaque tights. The same skirt then dresses up easily for the evening, making it a versatile autumn and winter piece.
