John Lewis & Partners Knitted Pencil Skirt, Rust Red, 16

Our midi length knitted tube skirt offers a fitted silhouette, with a concealed, elasticated waistband so you can stay comfortable while keeping your look polished. We've added a bit of stretch to the ribbed structure to ensure a fit that's close - but not stuck - to the body.

We chose a half cardigan stitch for its refined, structured look that's not too heavy and doesn't blur the skirt's shape. A premium piece in look and quality, we've also stitched the waist elastic vertically in four separate places to stop it from twisting over time - plenty of time to try a multitude of looks with soft tops, chunky knits or fluid blouses.
