KAREN MILLENPetite Tailored Buckle Detail Pleated Midi Skirt

- Asymmetric layered waistband with a structured buckle detail - the kind of considered hardware that reads as intentional rather than decorative. - Deep knife pleats are set into the lower half of the skirt, opening as you walk to give the hem real movement and volume without bulk at the hip. - The diagonal line where the flat panel meets the pleated section creates a wraparound effect that draws the eye across the waist rather than straight down. - Cut to a midi length, sitting well below the knee - on a petite frame this proportion is precisely calibrated to lengthen the leg rather than overwhelm it. - Fully lined, so the skirt holds its shape and the pleats fall cleanly without clinging through the body. The buckle is the starting point here - a small, squared piece of hardware sitting at the waist that anchors the whole skirt's structure. It gives what could have been a straightforward pleated midi a tailored edge that belongs firmly in a polished wardrobe. The asymmetric panel above the pleats means the skirt does its own architectural work; you don't need to layer much on top to make it land. The model wears it with a collared shirt tucked in and strappy heeled sandals - a pairing that keeps the formality consistent from waist to floor. For the office, a fitted roll-neck and pointed-toe court shoes carry the same tailored logic. Come evening, swap to a fitted satin blouse and heels for a dinner or theatre outing where the movement of the pleats will catch the light as you walk. This is a skirt built for occasions that require you to look considered without appearing to have tried too hard. Product Details & Care Main: 100% Polyester. Lining: 100% Polyester. Dry Clean Only.
