Grey Pleated Skirt

Grey Pleated Skirt — Wrap-Front Mini with Buckle Strap

Size Chart

Order by your hip measurement — the smooth yoke sits close over the hip before the pleats release, so that's where the fit is decided rather than at the waistband. Length is taken at the longest point: the wrap panel overlaps on one side and the pleats finish unevenly, so parts of the hem sit higher. Between two sizes, take the larger one.

Charcoal grey, cut short and put together at an angle. A flat panel wraps across the front and finishes on a diagonal, overlapping at one hip where a narrow buckled strap hangs loose, and below the yoke the pleats fall in sharp columns that break unevenly at the hem. It reads school-uniform for about a second, then the asymmetry gives it away.

How to Style a Pleated Skirt

Keep it simple above the waist and let the hardware and the angles do the work — a plain cream tee, a fitted knit, a cropped hoodie. Chunky loafers or Mary Janes with white socks pushed down, a small structured bag, and it's essentially an outfit. The construction is the flattering part: because the pleats hang from a smooth yoke rather than starting at the waistband, the skirt sits flat over the widest part of the hip and only builds volume below it, which suits fuller hips far better than an all-over pleat while still giving straighter frames some movement. It is genuinely short though, so tights or shorts underneath are worth planning for.

FAQ

How short is this pleated mini skirt?
It measures 14.2 inches on UK 8 up to 15.4 inches on UK 16, taken at the longest point. The wrap panel and the uneven pleats mean parts of the hem sit higher than that, so this is one of the shorter cuts we stock — worth measuring against yourself rather than judging from the photograph.

Is the buckle strap functional?
It's a decorative detail rather than a working belt — the strap hangs from the wrap panel at the hip and buckles onto itself, so it isn't there to adjust the fit. It's what keeps the skirt from reading as plain uniform pleats.

Which size should I order?
Go by your hip measurement, since the yoke sits close over the hip and that's the part with no give. Take the larger size if you're between two rows — a yoke that's slightly generous still hangs correctly, whereas a tight one pulls the pleats open.
