Knitted Skater Skirt

Knitted Skater Mini Skirt

Size Chart

This comes in a single size with a fully elasticated waistband, and the UK range shown is approximate because the maker guides by body weight rather than by dress size. Aim for the lower half of the waist range: it sits best on a UK 8 to 12, with a UK 14 as the realistic upper limit. No hip measurement is supplied, though the skirt flares away from the waist so the hip isn't the limiting factor. Length is measured from the top of the waistband to the hem.

A dense wool-look knit with a fine textured surface, cut high at the waist and flared into a clean circle so it stands away from the body rather than clinging. The seams are set as narrow panels running down from the waistband, which is what gives the skirt its structure — it holds a proper A-line shape without needing a stiff lining underneath.

How to Style a Knitted Mini Skirt

Knit on knit is the point here: a cable jumper tucked loosely at the front, a ribbed roll neck, a cropped cardigan buttoned to the top. Camel with cream is the easy tonal version, grey with white keeps it sharper, and a tan leather bag warms up all three colourways. Opaque tights and ankle boots or loafers see it through the cold months. On fit, a high-waisted circle shape marks the narrowest point and then skims everything below, which is genuinely kind on apple and pear figures and gives straighter frames a waist they might not otherwise have; the caveat is that knit holds volume rather than draping, so the flare sits out from the body — if you'd rather a skirt fell closer, a knitted pencil or a straight mini will keep the line much narrower.

FAQ

It's sold by weight rather than dress size — will it fit me?
The 40 to 65 kg guide is the maker's shorthand and it's a blunt instrument, so use the waist measurement instead: the band relaxes to 24.4 inches and stretches to 33.5, and it sits best when your waist falls in the lower half of that. In UK terms that means a comfortable 8 to 12, with 14 workable but with the elastic closer to its limit.

Does a knitted skirt lose its shape?
A dense knit like this holds up far better than a loose one, and the panelled seams give it structure that a single-piece knit skirt doesn't have. What does help is hanging it by the waistband or folding it flat rather than leaving it stretched over a hanger clip, which is where knitwear usually goes out of shape.

Do you need tights underneath?
Not for coverage, since the knit is opaque, but most people wear them for warmth and comfort — wool-look knits can feel slightly scratchy against bare skin at the waistband, and opaque tights solve that entirely. In milder weather bare legs with boots work perfectly well.
