Dakota | Suede-Look Fringe Mini Skirt
Suede-Look Fringe Mini Skirt with a Western Edge
Meet Dakota, a high-waisted mini skirt with a soft suede-look finish that brings easy movement to every step. A V-shaped yoke seam curves across the hips, and long layered fringe falls from beneath it, swinging just past the hemline. This brown skirt suits festival days, spring brunches and live music nights, and makes an effortless base for a cowgirl costume come Halloween.
Product Details
- Fabric look/feel: Smooth, brushed suede-look surface with a soft, velvety appearance.
- Cut/Fit: Fitted through the waist and hips for a sleek, contoured shape.
- Waist: Wide, high-rise waistband with a neat topstitched edge.

- Length: Mini, with the fringe finishing well above the knee.
- Details/Finish: V-shaped front yoke seam with long, layered fringe running all the way round.
- Style: Western-inspired with a relaxed boho mood.
Styling Tips
- Pair with knee high boots and a fitted long sleeve top for a polished going-out look on cooler evenings.
- Keep it simple with a white singlet, a denim jacket and clean sneakers for festival days and weekend markets.
- Build a cowgirl costume around it with western boots, a checked shirt knotted at the waist and a wide-brim hat.
Care
Spot clean where possible, or hand wash gently in cold water. Lay flat to dry and smooth the fringe with your fingers while damp. Avoid tumble drying and always check the care label before washing.
Size & Fit
Dakota sits high on the waist with a close fit through the hips, as shown on the model. If you are between sizes or prefer a little more room through the hips, size up. The fringe adds length beyond the base of the skirt, so it reads slightly longer than a standard mini while still finishing above the knee.
