This size 4 skirt has a lively pattern in black and white but it’s completely suitable for work. I’ve worn it a couple of times and store it in a garment bag. It’s still in excellent condition. It hits on my knee (I’m 5’8”). The waistband sits high and snug with some gentle pleating beneath, so it isn’t too form-fitting for a business environment. It has its own little black patent belt. I love the fancy pleated detail along the bottom hem. It looks great with black hosiery and works with almost any top, including a pale or bold color. I wore it as an interesting variant to a boring black suit skirt. I’m letting it go because I just haven’t been wearing it.
