Women's Grey Ribbed Pencil Midi Skirt - Side Slit Detail

This grey ribbed knit pencil midi skirt pairs a slim, body-skimming silhouette with a practical front side slit that opens from approximately mid-thigh, so walking stays comfortable without sacrificing the tailored look. The elasticated waistband removes the need for a zip or button closure, making it easy to pull on and adjust throughout the day.

Styling for Work and Everyday Wear

The neutral grey tone works across a wide range of outfit combinations. Wear it tucked into a fitted ribbed crop top in the same grey shade for a tonal co-ord look, or pair it with a crisp white button-down shirt and black block-heel mules for a polished office outfit. On a casual day, a fitted black jersey top and white sneakers keep the look relaxed while the pencil silhouette retains its structure. The midi length — hitting roughly between knee and ankle — suits both formal and smart-casual settings.

• Tonal co-ord: match with a grey ribbed crop top for a seamless set
• Office outfit: tuck in a tailored blouse, add pointed-toe heels
• Weekend: style with a fitted knit top and clean white trainers

Ribbed Knit Material and Care

The fabric is a stretchy lycra-blend ribbed knit — the fine horizontal ribbing adds subtle texture and helps the skirt hold its shape through the day without wrinkling. This type of knit resists pilling better than a plain jersey and bounces back after wear. Machine wash at 30 degrees Celsius, gentle cycle; lay flat or hang to dry to maintain the rib structure. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can reduce elasticity over time.

• Hang or lay flat to dry; avoid tumble drying
• Do not iron directly on ribbed surface — use a pressing cloth if needed

Sizing and Fit Notes

The elasticated waist accommodates a range of hip-to-waist ratios without gaping. The slim pencil cut fits best on straight-to-hourglass figures; the side slit begins approximately 35 cm from the hem, providing enough mobility for a standard stride. The midi length typically falls 5-10 cm below the knee depending on height. Women taller than 175 cm may find the hem sits closer to mid-calf. The stretch fabric covers sizes XS through L comfortably, but those with fuller hips above 105 cm may prefer sizing up. This is not a full-coverage skirt — the slit opens with movement, which suits most but is worth noting for conservative dress codes.
