Grey Pleated Mini Skirt

Grey Pleated Skirt with Lace Trim — Mini Skort with Built-In Shorts

Size Chart

Choose your size by your waist measurement — our supplier doesn't provide hip measurements for this style, and the pleats fall away from the body so the waistband is what needs to fit. Between two sizes? Size up. Length is measured from the top of the waistband to the hem of the grey pleats; the lace underlayer sits a little lower.

Some pieces just do the work for you, and this one turns up ready. The grey pleats are sharp and closely spaced so the skirt keeps its shape as you move, the waistband sits high and clean, and a ribbon ties in a soft bow at one hip — the detail that stops it reading as school uniform. Underneath, built-in shorts finish in a wide white lace trim that peeks out below the hem, which is what gives the whole thing its coquette edge.

How to Style a Grey Pleated Skirt

Keep the top half fitted and let the skirt do the volume — a white ribbed crop or a slim baby tee is the shortcut, and a heavy silver pendant tips it slightly darker. For colder days, opaque black tights and chunky loafers or platform Mary Janes. The high waist and short flare are most flattering on petite and straight frames, where they create curve at the hip and lengthen the leg; if you'd rather not add volume there, a longer top that skims past the waistband softens the line.

FAQ

Does this skirt have shorts underneath?
Yes — this is a skort, with shorts sewn in under the pleats. They're white with a lace trim that shows below the hem on purpose, so you're covered when you sit down, cycle, or take stairs.

How short is this mini skort?
Very short — 12.2 inches on UK 8–10 and 12.6 inches on UK 12–16, measured from the waistband. On an average 5'6" frame that lands high on the thigh, which is exactly why the built-in shorts are there.

What size should I order?
Order by your waist measurement in inches using the chart above, and size up if you're between two. Hip measurements aren't supplied for this style, but the pleats flare away from the body rather than sitting close, so the waist is the fit that matters.
