This One Step Ahead skirt takes a charcoal grey wool blend and scatters it with little flashes of red, cobalt, yellow, turquoise and pink. From a distance it is a beautiful grey skirt, then the coloured flecks start appearing and suddenly there are a dozen different directions your styling could take.

It sits neatly at the waist before opening into a wonderfully full midi shape with plenty of fabric through the skirt. There is no unnecessary bulk around the waistband, just a clean fitted top and a generous sweep below, which gives it lovely movement when worn.

Try a cobalt knit with red loafers or a daffodil yellow blouse. This shape works particularly well if you like a defined waist with plenty of room through the hips and thighs. The fullness begins below the waistband, giving the skirt a fluid movement.
