THE WOMEN'S SKIRT, THE COMEBACK OF A TOO-OFTEN-FORGOTTEN PIECE
THE SKIRT, FEMININITY CLAIMING ITS SPACE IN THE WARDROBE
Over the past few decades, pants have gained so much ground in women's wardrobes that the skirt has sometimes been pushed aside as an occasional accessory. That's a real stylistic loss: a skirt offers a silhouette, a movement, and a femininity that no pair of pants can fully replicate. At Place du Jour, we're committed to a skirt category that's alive and thoughtfully crafted, because a complete wardrobe can't be reduced to pants alone. Cuts suited to real body shapes, carefully considered lengths, fabrics built to last.
SHORT, MIDI, LONG SKIRTS — EVERY LENGTH HAS ITS OWN CHARACTER
Skirts come in several lengths, each with its own personality. The short skirt, more dynamic, ideal for those who want to show off their legs. The midi skirt (below the knee), the most universally flattering, works everywhere from the office to a night out. The long skirt, the most elegant, brings movement and sophistication. At Place du Jour, our skirts are available in denim, cotton, and flowy fabrics, and in several cuts (straight, flared, pleated). All our cuts feature a defined waistband to structure the silhouette.
HOW TO WORK A SKIRT INTO A PANTS-FIRST WARDROBE
If you're not used to wearing a skirt every day, start with a denim or solid cotton midi: it's the most versatile length and the easiest fabric to coordinate. Pair it with your usual tops (blouses, white t-shirts, thin sweaters) and your favorite shoes (loafers, mules, white sneakers). You'll see: a skirt doesn't require a whole dedicated wardrobe, it fits right into the one you already have. One or two well-chosen skirts are enough to diversify your outfits without losing your personal style.
