• The hanky hem is the standout here - multiple pointed panels fall at different lengths, creating movement at the hem that catches with every step.
• Ruching runs down one side from hip to hem, pulling the fabric in to shape the silhouette without being restrictive.
• Slinky fabric drapes close to the body through the hip before releasing into the floaty hem panels - it moves rather than clings.
• The elastane content gives just enough stretch so the ruched section sits smoothly without pulling or bunching.
• Cut to a midi length with a fitted waistband that sits at the natural waist, making it easy to tuck in or half-tuck a top.

This skirt earns its place as the piece that makes an outfit look considered without much effort. The ruching and hanky hem do the work, so it pairs well with something simple on top - the model wears a fitted crop tee, which is exactly the right call. The hem's movement means it photographs brilliantly and turns heads on a night out, but the midi length keeps it versatile enough for pre-drinks at a bar or a rooftop gathering. Try it with strappy heeled sandals and a barely-there going-out top for full evening mode, or keep it grounded with flat metallic sandals as the model does here for drinks with friends. A fitted long-sleeve top tucked in works just as well when the temperature drops. It's the kind of skirt that looks like you put in more effort than you actually did.
