Mae | High Waisted Pleated Midi Skirt
High Waisted Pleated Skirt with a Flowing A-Line Shape
Meet Mae, a high waisted pleated midi skirt that moves beautifully with every step. A smooth, flat waistband sits at your natural waist, and deep front pleats open into a full A-line skirt that falls well below the calf. It brings polish to the office, ease to weekend coffee runs and a soft, feminine touch to long lunches and spring events.
Product Details
- Fabric look/feel: Smooth, matte woven surface with a soft drape that holds the pleats crisply.
- Cut/Fit: High waisted, fitted through the waist and flaring into a generous A-line skirt.
- Waist: Wide, flat waistband that gives a clean, tailored finish.
- Length: Long midi length, landing at mid-calf on the model for an easy, elegant line.
- Details/Finish: Evenly spaced inverted pleats across the front for volume and movement, with a neatly stitched straight hem.
- Style: Timeless and versatile, sitting between classic midi and long maxi skirt styling.
Styling Tips
- Tuck in a chunky ribbed knit or fine jumper and add tan ankle boots for a warm, layered look on cooler days.
- Pair with a fitted tee, a tailored blazer and loafers for a smart-casual work outfit.
- Go lighter with a tucked-in cami, a denim jacket and white sneakers for weekend markets and brunch.
Care
Gentle cold wash or hand wash, reshape the pleats while damp and hang to dry. Cool iron on the reverse if needed; please check the care label before washing.
Size & Fit
Mae is designed to sit snugly at the natural waist, with plenty of room through the hips and hem thanks to the full pleated skirt. Choose your usual size based on your waist; if you are between sizes or prefer a more relaxed waistband, size up.
