FAQs
How should I wash this skirt?
The Roman Houndstooth Stretch Pencil Skirt is machine washable. For best results, follow the care label instructions, typically a gentle cycle, and avoid high heat drying to protect the fabric and faux leather trims.
What materials is the skirt made from?
The skirt is composed of 80% Polyester, 17% Viscose, and 3% Elastane, offering a comfortable stretch and a soft brushed finish.
Is this skirt suitable for all seasons?
Due to its brushed finish and fabric blend, the skirt is best suited for Autumn and Winter wear, providing warmth and comfort in cooler temperatures.
What is the approximate length of the skirt?
The skirt has an approximate length of 115cm, designed for a longer silhouette.
Does the skirt have functional pockets?
No, the skirt features contrasting *mock* pockets with faux leather trims, which are decorative rather than functional.
Is the waistband adjustable?
The skirt features an elasticated waist, providing a comfortable and flexible fit without the need for manual adjustment.
How can I style this skirt for work?
For an Autumnal workwear style, pair the skirt with thick tights and chunky boots. Complement it with a fitted blouse or a fine-knit sweater for a polished look.
Troubleshooting
Skirt feels too long after wearing.
Consider pairing with higher heels or chunky boots to adjust the drape. If preferred, a professional tailor can alter the hem, but ensure the faux leather trims are handled carefully during alterations.
Faux leather trims appear creased or damaged after washing.
Always wash on a gentle cycle, preferably in a laundry bag. Avoid high heat drying. If creases occur, gently iron on a very low setting *from the inside* with a pressing cloth, or allow to air dry naturally to smooth out.
Fabric developing small pills (bobbles) over time.
Pilling can occur with some fabrics. To minimize, wash the skirt inside out on a gentle cycle. For existing pills, use a fabric shaver or lint brush designed for removing them.
Elastic waistband feels uncomfortable or too tight/loose.
While the skirt is designed to be "true to size" with an elasticated waist, ensure you have selected the correct UK size 12. If discomfort persists, check your body measurements against the brand's size guide.

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.
