Product Information
The Grey Pleated Slit Ankle Skirt from Chic Atelier is workwear that does not look like a compromise. Suiting grey and full-length pleating give it the formality an office asks for, while a slit through the hem solves the problem that long narrow skirts usually create, which is that you cannot walk properly in them.
Hollow-out detailing is worked into the design, opening small sections of the surface so a plain grey skirt has something to look at up close. The cut is slim from a mid-rise waist through the hip before the pleats release, which keeps the line long and clean rather than adding bulk at the widest point.
It is made from a woven polyester broadcloth with no stretch, and that rigidity is what holds a pleat sharp through a full day of sitting at a desk. The ankle-length hem works with a flat loafer as easily as a heeled boot. Wear it with a tucked shirt and a blazer for the office, then a fine knit and trainers at the weekend. Machine wash cold and hang to dry. Hang it rather than folding it between wears so the pleats stay defined and the slit hangs straight down the seam.

A Slit That Solves The Problem
Long narrow skirts usually create one problem, which is that you cannot take a normal step in them. The slit through the hem solves it completely. You can cross an office, climb stairs and catch a train without shortening your stride. That is what turns a formal skirt into something you actually wear on a Tuesday.
Suiting Grey, Softer Fabric
The grey gives it the formality an office asks for without the stiffness of a tailored suit skirt. Full length pleating keeps the surface moving as you walk so it never looks flat. It sits comfortably under a blazer or a knit. Workwear that does not look like a compromise is harder to find than it should be.
Workwear Without The Compromise
Hollow out detailing adds texture at close range without ever making it loud. The ankle length keeps the proportion formal with both a flat and a heel. Change the top and the same skirt handles a dinner after work. Chic Atelier designed this one to survive a full working week and still look considered.
