Houndstooth never really leaves. It cycles in and out of the fashion conversation but the fabric itself that tight, precise, black and white check stays forever useful decade after decade. This midi skirt, made in New Zealand from a wool and easy care blend, wears the pattern at a classic scale: small enough to read as a refined all-over texture at a distance, clear and graphic up close. The cloth has a lovely weight and substance to it.

The silhouette is a clean pencil line, sitting from a neat waistband through the hip and falling to a midi length with a centre back vent for ease of movement. Slanted front pockets sit at the hip thankfully ... genuinely useable. The rear waist is elasticated for comfort, with a single black button at centre back above the concealed zip. Goes well with a tucked white shirt, a ribbed knit, or a leather jacket for a sharper edge. A low boot or long boot flatters the length.
