The youthful and dynamic look of the short skirt.
A skirt above the knee
The short skirt stops a few centimetres above the knee for the more modest, and mid-thigh for the mini skirt. It became popular in the 1960s, made famous by British designer Mary Quant in the London of the time, and has since symbolised a free and youthful fashion. It shows off the legs, elongates the figure, and adds energy to a simple outfit.
Long skirts and shorts
Skirts and shorts also come in:
All skirts and all shorts are available on the skirts and shorts page.
The styles
The skater skirt, flared and flowing from the waist, moves with every step and suits all body types. The denim skirt, straight or A-line, is the most casual and is worn with trainers. The pleated skirt, inspired by tennis or school, adds movement. The wrap skirt, crossed and tied, adjusts at the waist. The faux leather skirt, more edgy, pairs well with a chunky sweater. The skort, featuring an integrated pair of shorts, gives the appearance of a skirt while providing the freedom of shorts.
All year round
In summer, the short skirt is worn with bare legs, sandals, espadrilles, or white sneakers, paired with a t-shirt or a tank top. In winter, it stays in the wardrobe thanks to opaque tights, worn with boots or ankle boots and a chunky sweater tucked into the skirt. To balance the silhouette, a short skirt is paired with a more covering top. A high-waisted skirt defines the waist and elongates the legs. Always check the sitting length before choosing a style.
