Women's Navy Ribbed Pencil Maxi Skirt - Side Slit Detail

This navy pencil maxi skirt is cut from a fine-rib lycra-blend knit that stretches to follow your silhouette without bunching or pulling. The slim pencil shape runs from a wide elasticated waistband straight down to just below the ankle, while a front side slit opens from mid-calf to allow a full stride.

Styling for Office and Evening

The clean ribbed surface keeps the skirt versatile across settings. For office days, pair it with a fitted tuck-in blouse and block-heel mules — the side slit adds visual interest without being casual. For an evening out, a strappy crop top and heeled sandals work well, as shown in the look above. The navy colorway pairs equally well with white, cream, camel, and black tops.

• Office ready: tailored blouse + structured blazer + pointed-toe flats
• Evening look: bandeau crop top + strappy heels
• Weekend smart: oversized linen shirt tucked loosely + white sneakers

Sizing and Fit Notes

The elasticated waist stretches approximately 60 cm to 90 cm, and the skirt length is designed for a standard height of around 165-170 cm. If you are taller, the hem may fall slightly above the ankle; shorter wearers may find it floor-length. The ribbed knit has 4-way stretch, so it conforms well between sizes, but it is a fitted silhouette — those who prefer a relaxed or A-line skirt will find this cut too slim.

• Waist stretch range: approximately 60 cm to 90 cm
• Skirt length: maxi, designed for 165-170 cm height
• 4-way stretch lycra blend accommodates between-size fits
• Pencil silhouette — not suited to relaxed or A-line preferences

Material and Care

The fabric is a lycra ribbed knit blend — the vertical rib texture adds structure while the lycra content (typically 5-8%) provides stretch recovery so the skirt returns to shape after wear. Machine wash on a gentle 30-degree cycle, lay flat or hang to dry. Avoid tumble drying as heat can reduce stretch recovery over time. The fabric does not wrinkle easily, making it practical for daily use and travel.

• Fabric: lycra-blend ribbed knit, fine vertical rib texture
• Wash: gentle machine wash at 30 degrees
• Dry: hang or lay flat — no tumble dryer
• Iron: low heat only if needed; ribbing usually self-smooths

Everyday Versatility

The elasticated waistband means no zip or button — you pull it on in seconds, which suits an everyday wardrobe staple. The navy color reads as a neutral in the same way black does, so it rotates easily with most tops you already own. The side slit keeps the hem from restricting your stride during a full day of walking or commuting, which is a practical detail often missing from budget pencil skirts.
