White Tweed Skirt

White Tweed Short Skirt with Gold Buttons

Size Chart

Two columns here need reading rather than matching. The hip figure is taken eight inches below the waistband, so it's a high hip measurement and not the widest part of your body — don't compare your usual hip number to it. The hem width is the width of the skirt at the bottom, not a body measurement at all. Choose on the waist, which is the fitted point and where a firm tweed with no stretch will pull first; take the larger size if you're between two. 

Ivory bouclé tweed shot through with fine gold and taupe threads, cut with a flat waistband and a clean A-line that flares gently from the hip. Two columns of textured gold buttons run down the front, and the waistband and hem are finished with a contrast ivory braid trim — the details are doing all the work on what is otherwise a very simple shape.

How to Style a Tweed Skirt

Black against ivory is the sharpest version and the easiest: a fine black roll neck or a ribbed long-sleeve tucked in, black tights and a knee boot in winter, or bare legs and a black slingback when it warms up. Keep jewellery gold to echo the buttons and let the bag be plain — a quilted black shoulder bag is the obvious partner and genuinely the right one. On fit, a flat waistband with a gentle A-line is one of the most universally wearable shapes there is, particularly good on apple and pear figures because it defines the waist and skims the hip without clinging; the caveat is that pale bouclé sits away from the body and adds a little visual width, so if you want the narrowest possible line, a straight tweed mini in a darker shade will do that better.

FAQ

Do the gold buttons actually undo?
No — they're decorative, set in two rows across the front, and the skirt fastens with a concealed zip at the side instead. That's what keeps the front panel clean and lets the buttons sit symmetrically rather than following an opening, which is the whole look here.

Where is the hip measured on the size chart?
Eight inches below the top of the waistband, so it's your high hip rather than the fullest part of your hips. That's why the figures look smaller than a standard hip measurement — compare them to your own body at the same point, or simply go by the waist, which is where an A-line skirt actually has to fit.

Does bouclé tweed catch or fray?
Bouclé is a loose, looped weave, so it can snag on rings, watch straps and Velcro more readily than a flat fabric, and a pulled loop shows. Nothing about it is fragile in normal wear, and the braid trim at the hem and waistband is there partly to protect the edges, which is where a woven like this would otherwise fray first.
