John Lewis & Partners Box Pleat Pull On Skirt, Cobalt Blue, 12

A foundation piece that can be dressed up or down, we've developed our box pleat skirt using two layers of light, delicate georgette fabric for an opaque cut that flows gently over the silhouette.

We've added practical pockets on each side, while the elasticated, triple stitched waistline enhances the gathered seam detail from the top down. Double turned hems and the lining ensure a clean finish, while the pocket bags on the inside waistband means the A-line shape stays robust.

Wear it with knitwear and heeled boots, or dress it up with a silken blouse and strappy heels; it's your style, your way.
