Leopard Chiffon Maxi Skirt

Leopard Print Skirt — Chiffon Maxi with Low-Rise Waist

Size Chart

Order by your hip measurement — the skirt is cut close from the waistband through the thigh, so the hip is where it fits or doesn't. Note that the UK equivalents sit above what the letter sizes suggest: a size S here corresponds to a UK 10. The waistband is designed to sit low, level with the top of the hip bones, which is why that figure reads larger than a standard waist measurement. Length changes by around an inch across the range, so height matters more than size. Between two sizes, size up.

Leopard print is only as good as the fabric it's printed on, and chiffon is what makes this one work. The waistband sits low across the hips, the print runs unbroken down the body without a seam interrupting it, and the skirt follows the thigh before opening into a wide flare that moves constantly around the ankles. Warm tan and black rather than the yellow-heavy version that dates quickly.

How to Style a Leopard Print Skirt

Leopard behaves like a neutral until you put another pattern next to it, so keep the top half plain and let a single strong colour do the talking — a white baby tee and a red bag, a black cami and gold jewellery, a fine knit in cream for daytime. Pointed heels continue the line the skirt draws; flat sandals make it a holiday piece instead. Because it traces the hip and thigh before releasing, this flatters hourglass and pear figures naturally and gives straighter frames real shape, while the low waistband suits longer torsos particularly well. It follows the body rather than skimming it, so it's a different proposition from a gathered or A-line maxi.

FAQ

Where does the waistband sit, and how long is it?
The band sits low across the hip bones rather than at the natural waist, and the skirt measures 40.4 to 41.5 inches from there. On an average 5'6" frame that reaches the floor, so a heel is worth planning for if you'd rather the hem cleared the ground.

Which size should I order?
Match your hip measurement to the chart rather than going by your usual letter size, as this cut runs closer than most and the UK equivalents sit a size above the labels. If you normally take a UK 10, that's a size S here, and between two rows take the larger.
