Pleated Cargo Skirt

Pleated Mini Skirt — Cargo Style with Buckle Belt and Pocket

Size Chart

Order by your waist measurement — the waistband is the fixed point and this style runs to smaller proportions than the letter sizes suggest, so the UK equivalents above are converted from the actual measurements. The hem sweep column is the width of the skirt at the bottom, not a hip measurement, so don't compare it to your own. Length is measured from the top of the waistband to the hem. Between two sizes, size up.

Pleats with the utility hardware bolted straight on. The waistband carries a webbing belt with a click-release buckle, a boxy flap pouch hangs at one hip with a second buckle on it, and a long strap trails down past the hem — while underneath all of it sits a perfectly ordinary sharp-pleated mini. It comes in black or mid-grey, and the grey is the softer of the two by a long way.

How to Style a Pleated Skirt

There's enough hardware here that the top half should stay flat and plain — a white ribbed tee, a black cropped long-sleeve, a fitted tank. Chunky boots or trainers with the socks pulled up, and a crossbody chain bag if you're committing. Because the pleats hang from a smooth yoke rather than gathering at the waistband, the skirt sits flat across the widest part of the hip and only flares below it, which is noticeably kinder on fuller hips than an all-over pleat. The pouch does sit at hip level and adds a little width on one side — that asymmetry is the look.

FAQ

How short is this pleated mini skirt?
It measures 14.6 inches on the smallest size up to 15.7 inches on the largest, taken from the waistband. That's high on the thigh on most people, and because the pleats flare outward the skirt lifts more readily than a straight mini of the same length.

Does the pouch pocket actually open?
Yes — the flap pouch fastens with the buckle on its front and opens as a real pocket, deep enough for a phone or a card holder. The webbing belt and the trailing strap are part of the same set of detailing.

Which size should I order?
Go by your waist measurement in inches rather than your usual letter size, since this style is cut smaller than the labels suggest — a size L here corresponds to a UK 10. Take the larger row if you're between two.
