“THE HEATHER GREY PONTE KNIT MAXI SKIRT”

maxi 2

The PONTE KNIT MAXI SKIRT,  A239318, is coming at the end of the month, scheduled for Dec 27th ……The color above is HEATHER GREY. The shape of the skirt is known as a TULIP SHAPE……meaning it fits over the hips, gliding over the body and then flares out to the bottom….not TOO MUCH…..enough to give walking room and comfort. This silhouette is perfect with all shapes of jackets and a variety of tops. This is a pull-on skirt….no zippers or buttons. The top of the skirt has a wide contour band similar to the band and construction of the slim ponte pant that sold out and everyone loved…..fingers crossed that it will be reordered for next fall…….The top of the skirt is flat and smooth…..great for over tops and great for tucking in.  Above, I have the skirt shown two  ways….on the extreme  left….it’s with an ivory MOCK NECK , 3/4 SLEEVE WK with ribbed sleeves and bottom band……It’s coming this spring. With that is the LINEA PONTE HOODED BLAZER, A237551, also in the HEATHER GREY. This skirt is a great companion piece to the hooded blazer….the two were meant for each other!………………….The second way I’m showing the grey skirt  is with the POSH KNIT TANK, A238525, and the POSH KNIT CARDIGAN, A238520. I accessorized this look with the new FACETED GLASS BEAD NECKLACE, J278125, and the matching DROP BEAD EARRING, J278127, both in the GREY……………….it really can’t get  more simple than that……or more CHIC……………Unfortunately, this skirt is not avail in petites, but don’t despair…..it is easily shortened without ruining the silhouette……………as a matter of fact there are many lengths I can see this skirt at……2 to 3 inches below the knee….mid calf or anywhere in between mid calf and maxi…….This silhouette works for all lengths. I really think this skirt can become a work horse in your wardrobe, especially with the winter months still looming  a head of us…………..scroll down for more……………….much …………….Love………………………….Louis

    Hi Louis,

    Lovely styling as usual!! Several questions– length of the maxi skirt and the fabric percentages please?

    Enjoy the ‘snow’ day!

      Dear Chris…..this is the exact same “Linea Ponte” that I have been using for a while. It’s the same as all of the OLO pieces plus the TSV peplum jacket, the draw string skirt and the jacket and pant that went with that…the fall dress in black. topaz and green etc etc. The fabric is 78% poly, 18% rayon and 4% span. It is approx 40 inches long from the top of the waist band to the hem of the skirt. Since it is a contour waist band it could sit slightly differently on different body shapes so the length “on the body” can vary a little.
