Quick answer
For rainy days, choose a skirt with a water-repellent finish and a cut that lets you move freely. A lightweight midi or a pleated maxi in technical fabric works well for commuting.
Why fabric matters more than length
A water-repellent finish is the first line of defense against light rain and splashes. Both the Light Woven W Skirt and Tech Woven Skirt W use a water-repellent treatment, so you don't have to choose between style and weather protection. The difference is in the weight and stretch: a cotton–nylon blend feels airy, while a 4-way stretch fabric gives you full range of motion.
Length and movement trade-offs
A midi skirt (like the Light Woven W Skirt) offers a modern silhouette and works well for day-to-night wear, but its asymmetric cut may limit stride on very windy days. A maxi skirt with a deep front pleat (like the Tech Woven Skirt W) provides more freedom of movement thanks to the pleat and stretch fabric, but it can drag on wet ground if the hem is too long.
How to choose your rainy-day skirt
- Check the finish: Look for a water-repellent finish, not just a waterproof membrane. This keeps the fabric breathable and comfortable for everyday wear.
- Prioritise movement: A skirt with a front pleat or stretch fabric (like the Tech Woven Skirt W) lets you walk and cycle freely. Asymmetric cuts look sharp but may restrict stride. If you commute by bike or walk long distances, choose a pleated or stretch design.
- Consider the length: Midi skirts stay cleaner on wet streets and are less likely to drag. Maxi skirts offer more coverage but can get wet at the hem.
- Match your day: A lightweight midi works for office-to-evening wear. A technical maxi suits casual or active days where comfort matters most.
