Light and summery, at clearance prices.
The mini skirt, like the b.young Bymmjoella, shows off the legs and is easy to wear during summer days. The midi skirt, which falls to mid-calf, is the most versatile: the COMMA in lightweight denim, A-line cut, flares from the waist and flatters most body shapes, and the b.young Joella follows this length. The long skirt that sways, like the Cupshe, moves with you as you walk and is perfect for warm evenings. The structured Kariban Premium straight skirt is suitable for work. These end-of-line items are identical to their launched pieces, with just a more limited choice of sizes.
The summer women's clearance also includes:
All the end-of-line items are gathered on the summer women's page.
The denim shorts, like those from Le Temps des Cerises, a French brand known for its denim, or the Guess Kirsten, can be worn from the beach to the city and become softer with washes. The twill made from organic cotton from Colorful Standard, woven diagonally, offers a neater short in natural sandy or ivory shades. The lightweight fabrics, like viscose, stay cool in hot weather and drape nicely but tend to wrinkle more. The JJXX Jxpoppy, the Only Callie and the Ragwear shorts, a German brand with vegan collections, complete the range with relaxed fits.
The KAFFE Curve line brings the spirit of the Danish brand KAFFE to cuts designed for plus sizes, available in many styles from size 44 to 54. Its shorts, like the Nana Liah, focus on ease and comfort. For a curvy figure, look for a high waist with a wide or elastic waistband that holds the stomach without pinching, and a slightly flared leg that doesn’t cling to the thigh. For skirts, a trapeze or wrap shape, flaring from the waist, balances the hips, while a long, flowing skirt elongates the figure. Waist and hip measurements can be checked in the brand's guide.
Under a summer skirt or dress, shorts prevent chafing between the thighs on hot days and allow you to sit or cycle without worrying about the wind. The Urban Classics model, made from stretchy knit, fits snugly under short skirts. The shorty Chantelle SoftStretch takes discretion a step further: knitted without seams in polyamide and elastane, it doesn’t show under a thin fabric and adapts to a wide range of body shapes thanks to its very elastic knit. Its flat waistband won’t create bulges, and its cotton-lined gusset provides lingerie comfort.
It’s a skirt that hides an integrated short, or a short that is loose enough to look like a skirt. It offers the look of a skirt with the freedom of movement of shorts, making it practical for cycling, walking or on windy days.
High-waisted shorts define the waist, elongate the legs and are worn with a tucked-in top; they also support the stomach. Low-waisted shorts, more casual, go well with a loose or cropped top on a slender figure.
Yes, it moves with you throughout the day without being tight, making it a popular choice in summer and in plus sizes. A wide, flat waistband prevents it from rolling or showing lines under a fine top.
Iron it inside out, slightly damp fabric, following the grain from top to bottom to respect the flare. For a pleated skirt, pin the pleats to the table before ironing, then let it cool.
Wash them inside out, in cold water or at thirty degrees, with dark colours, and avoid the tumble dryer. The first washes should be done alone or with a fabric of the same colour, until the excess indigo washes out.
