This one has a detail that sets it apart from every other denim skirt you have ever owned. Two large patch pockets sit at the front hip, each finished with a bold red cross-stitch X that turns a simple utilitarian feature into something with real character.

The skirt is mid blue cotton chambray, cut from a fitted waist into a clean A-line that falls to midi length with easy, unhurried movement. The fabric has a smooth, slightly worn quality that makes it feel like a piece you have had forever. Back zip closure, clean waistband. Wear it with a fitted white or ivory blouse tucked in and tan leather loafers for something polished. A cherry red knit tucked in picks up the pocket stitching beautifully.

Try it with a striped Breton top and white sneakers for a weekend look, or a simple black fitted tee and hoop earrings for an evening that keeps things easy. The A-line cut suits those who carry more volume through the hip and thigh than the waist, skimming evenly from the waistband and creating a long balanced line to the hem. For those who are more evenly proportioned, it adds movement and ease without adding bulk. The midi length works well on all heights.|
