High-waisted tiered skirt

High-Waisted Tiered Skirt with Built-In Shorts

Size Chart

The waistband is fully elasticated and stretches by around 8 inches, so each size fits a comfortable range. Choose the size whose relaxed measurement is closest to or just under your waist — the elastic does the rest.

This high-waisted tiered skirt is the definition of easy, romantic dressing: full, floaty layers of ruffles that swing with every step, a soft elasticated waist that skips fuss entirely, and built-in shorts underneath so you can twirl, cycle and sit down without a second thought. It's the flirty mini that actually lets you move.

The two-tier ruffle design gives the skirt its lovely volume, falling from a high, gathered waistband that sits neatly at the narrowest part of the waist and defines it. Underneath, a pair of matching shorts is hidden completely by the ruffles — from the outside it's all skirt, but you get the coverage and freedom of shorts as you go about your day. The result is a piece that reads sweet and balletcore, yet is genuinely practical from morning to night, and endlessly easy to wear.

How to Style a Tiered Ruffle Skirt

The soft volume of this skirt loves a fitted top to balance it. Try a snug ribbed tank or a cropped cardigan with ballet flats for a sweet, balletcore-leaning look, or a plain white tee and trainers for effortless daytime ease. When you want it dressed up, a fitted knit and strappy sandals turn it date-ready in seconds. Because the waist sits high, keep tops cropped or tucked to make the most of the line. In cooler months, opaque tights and ankle boots with an oversized jumper half-tucked into the waistband carry it into autumn beautifully — the ruffles balance chunky knitwear far better than a slim skirt would. The elasticated waist and flared shape are forgiving on nearly every body shape; petite frames especially benefit from the short hem, which lengthens the leg. 

Does This Skirt Have Shorts Underneath?

Yes — a pair of matching shorts is built in beneath the ruffles, completely hidden from view. You get the look of a floaty mini skirt with the coverage and freedom of shorts, so there's no worrying about movement, wind or how you sit.

A high-waisted tiered skirt this soft and this practical is a warm-weather wardrobe staple in the making — pull it on, and the outfit feels done before you've even chosen a top.
