This skirt is so multifunctional!
This skirt is the do-it-all piece of clothing you did not know you were missing. I planned on wearing it for running errands and over leggings when hiking (my butt gets cold and also pockets are always necessary). It serves those functions perfectly but it is also easy to dress up for work! My office is pretty casual but I threw this on with a black sweater and boots and it looked great! It hits a few inches above my knees (I'm 5'9"), so totally work appropriate and it is comfortable! The pockets on the front are huge, and there is a zipper pocket in the back so you don't lose your stuff while hiking. There is even a little loop in the front to hook car keys on! Stretchy waistband with a loop on the inside to tighten but the whole skirt has a nice stretch to it. The fabric on the front and back are a little water repellent and the sides are more of a knit material. All around super comfy and looks great on!
Love the color!
My favorite thing about this skirt is the color. It is a light cocoa brown and so pretty. Other aspects that I love are the deep front pockets, the drawstring waistband, and stretchy side panels. The only thing I don't like is that it runs big. I ordered an XS, am 5'3 and the skirt falls about 1.5 inches above my knee but is just too large overall even when I tighten the waistband. I think the fit of this skirt would flatter those who are more of an athletic build and less curvy. I have a ruler shape and the skirt would be very flattering if smaller. The fabric allows for many activities without being cumbersome. Overall, a very nice quality and useful piece!
Comfy and lightweight
This is a great casual skirt that you can wear for lots of different events. I wore it with tights to work and without on a hike, and was perfectly comfortable on both occasions. Its lightweight and soft with a lot of stretch. My only nit is that the pockets (while large) are set a bit too close together on the front instead of spaced out more toward the sides. But, overall a great staple that would be so easy to pack and dress up or down.
The perfect everything skirt
Excellent material that moves and breathes. It is soft and stretchy but holds its size and shape even after an active day. I grabbed a mislabeled skirt in the store and ended up buying a M when I am firmly an L (5’8”, 155 lbs, size 12 pants) so it definitely runs a bit large. Having (accidentally) sized down, it is a slim but flattering fit. It hits a couple of inches above my knee, an ideal length for me.
This skirt..
My go to skirt almost every time I go out. I have both colors size large. This skirt is slimming!!! It fits like a pencil skirt but with a little stretch to it. If it came in 10 colors I would buy every single one. Great material, if it gets wet, it will dry fast.
Fashion meets function
I typically wear a size 8-10, or 28-29 denim.I bought this in small. This skirt is the perfect blend of fashion and function. Slip on, run, hike, cycle. What makes this superior is that the fabric has give, is sturdy and my favorite thing.... it does not flare out at the bottom and look matronly!! Fits comfortably slim against the thighs. Love the length and no annoying nylon skort shorts under it. 10++
Super comfy runs large
This skirt is thoughtfully designed with: deep well placed pockets, very smooth finishes, stretchy material on the side panels and unside pockets stronger material in the seat and front. The firmer material is less likely to pick and covers the stuff in my pockets. It is really comfortable but runs a little large. I originally orde ordered a medium will be returning that 1. Then I ordered the small which I am wearing and is very nice could have even gone to the extra small maybe. I usually wear a 6 or an 8.
Good adventure skirt
This is a good casual/ active skirt. The material is stretchy and gives a good range of movement, including bike riding. The skirt features a nice soft stretchy knit fabric on the side panels, overlaid with a stiffer woven material, which is similar to a convertible waterproof pant (and a bit noisy). The knit fabric hits all the points of friction on your skin (hips, thighs) which makes it very comfy. The stiffer material gives it a nice, crisp finish that could even be worn in a biz casual office. The front and back seem waterproof (or super water resistant); the knit size panels soak up water like a sponge but dry ok. The elastic waist has a nice adjustable inner drawcord. The front pockets offer great depth and room (yay for pockets!!!), but the back zippered pocket is too small to hold much more than some folded $ or ID. The back hem of the skirt is about .5” or .75” longer than the front; nice to have the extra bit of coverage. The front cord loop is a nice touch and could hold keys or sunnies. It’s well made, and the sewn-in tack bars at typical stress points tell me that this skirt will last for a long time! I’m “allergic” to branding, so I don’t like the visible REI label on the front side panel. The red dirt/ rust color is not the most appealing, but it goes ok with a surprising number of other colors. I’d like this better as a skort, but it’s overall a good active/ adventure skirt.
Universal Skirt
This is a skirt that can be worn as a casual fun day or while hiking, or relaxing. It is so universal!
Super cute and comfortable!
This skirt was excellent. While it's definitely a utilitarian skirt, it doesn't look that way; it's more sleek than most hiking skirts and doesn't take up a lot of bulk. The pockets make it super functional and easy to wear. I've worn it on hikes and found it really comfortable, but I've also thrown it on after long runs when I don't want to be wearing sweaty clothes. Highly recommend!
