Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Setting up your Roman Houndstooth Stretch Pencil Skirt is as simple as it gets. As a pull-on style, simply step into the skirt and pull it up to your waist. The elasticated waistband will adjust for a comfortable fit.
Compatibility
This skirt's timeless houndstooth pattern and autumnal aesthetic make it highly compatible with a range of wardrobe items:
- Footwear: Ideal with chunky boots, knee-high boots, or elegant ankle boots. For a dressier look, consider heels that complement its approximately 115cm length.
- Tops: Pairs well with knitwear such as sweaters, fine-gauge merino wool tops, or elegant blouses for work. For casual wear, consider long-sleeved t-shirts or relaxed fit blouses.
- Outerwear: Combine with tailored blazers, wool coats, or faux fur jackets for a complete cold-weather look.
- Accessories: Enhance the faux leather details with a matching faux leather belt or handbag. Simple gold or silver jewelry can complement the classic print.
Care Instructions
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your skirt, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: The skirt is Machine Washable. Always check the care label inside the garment for specific temperature recommendations. Generally, wash on a gentle cycle with similar colors.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent to protect the fabric and color.
- Drying: Avoid high heat drying as it can damage the stretch jersey fabric and faux leather trims. Air dry flat or hang dry to maintain shape. Do not tumble dry.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting, preferably inside out, to protect the brushed finish and faux leather details. Avoid direct heat on the faux leather trims.
- Special Considerations: While the main fabric is machine washable, the contrasting faux leather trims may benefit from extra care. If possible, consider spot cleaning these areas or placing the skirt in a mesh laundry bag during machine washing to protect the trims.
