Wool Check Pleat Mini Skirt

Cut from 100% wool - naturally breathable and insulating, the fabric holds the skirt's structure firmly through the pleats without any stiffness in wear. A row of gold-tone buttons runs down the front placket, giving the skirt a tailored, almost military-inspired detail that sets it apart from a plain pleat style. Box pleats sit at the front and fan out slightly with movement, keeping the silhouette neat when standing but allowing ease when walking. The mini length sits at the upper thigh - short enough to feel current, but the structured wool keeps the overall look considered rather than casual. The woven check pattern works across the full piece, aligning precisely through the pleats - a mark of careful construction that reads clearly up close. This skirt slots naturally into a wardrobe that already leans towards sharp, grown-up dressing. The matching cropped blazer from the same collection is the most direct pairing, as seen here - worn together they form a co-ord that needs very little else. A fitted dark roll-neck or a simple fine-knit top underneath keeps the focus on the tailoring. For a more relaxed daytime approach, a tucked-in slim-fit shirt and ankle boots in a complementary tone work well without dulling the skirt's character. Come evening, swap to block-heeled courts and a sleek shoulder bag to sharpen the look for dinner or a cultural event. The wool fabric means this piece transitions easily from the cooler months into transitional seasons, layered under a longline coat for colder days. It's the kind of skirt that anchors an outfit rather than requiring one built around it. | Karen Millen Women's Wool Check Pleat Mini Skirt in Brown | Size: 10
