Quick answer
Choose the Rib Flared Skirt if you want a lightweight, seamless ribbed knit mini with a playful flare that works for both day and evening. Size down if you prefer a closer fit through the waist, or stay true to size for a relaxed flare. Hand wash cold and lay flat to dry to protect the jacquard detailing.
How the ribbed knit changes fit and feel
Ribbed knit behaves differently from woven fabrics. The vertical ribs in the Rib Flared Skirt create natural stretch and recovery, so the skirt moves with you rather than holding a rigid shape. The seamless construction reduces bulk at the waist, which matters if you plan to tuck in a top or layer over a bodysuit. Because the fabric is lightweight, the flare stays soft instead of stiff, giving you a flirty silhouette without extra volume. The jacquard detailing adds texture but does not change the stretch profile, so you can expect the same fit across colorways.
Sizing decisions: waist, length, and layering
The model is 5'11 and wearing a size Small, so use that as a baseline if you are similar in height. The mini length means the hem lands above the knee; if you are taller, expect a shorter look, and if you are petite, it will sit closer to mid-thigh. For a snug, body-skimming fit through the waist, consider sizing down. For a more relaxed flare that skims rather than hugs, stay with your usual size. If you plan to wear the skirt with a tucked-in bodysuit or a cropped top, the seamless waist keeps lines clean.
What to wear with a rib skirt
The matching Rib Polo Bodysuit is the easiest pairing because it creates a continuous ribbed texture from shoulder to hem. For a contrast in feel, try the Butter Rib Flutter Short in a coordinating color as a layering piece under the skirt if you want extra coverage, though the short is designed as sleepwear. For daytime, add an oversized button-down or a cropped cardigan. For evening, a fitted corset-style top or a silky camisole balances the flared hem. Keep shoes simple: ankle boots, ballet flats, or strappy sandals all work because the skirt already has visual interest.

Care that keeps the rib and jacquard intact
The Rib Flared Skirt is made from 68% viscose and 32% nylon. Dry clean or hand wash cold and lay flat to dry. Avoid wringing or hanging by the waistband, which can stretch the ribbing. If you hand wash, use a gentle detergent and do not bleach. The jacquard detailing is part of the knit, so it will not peel or crack, but high heat can still distort the fibers. Store folded rather than hung to maintain the flare shape.
Decision rules for buying a rib flared skirt
- If you want a seamless look under fitted tops: Choose the Rib Flared Skirt because its seamless ribbed knit eliminates bulk at the waist. Best for layering with bodysuits or tucked-in knits.
- If you are between sizes and prefer a closer fit: Size down. The ribbed knit has stretch, so a smaller size will skim your waist without feeling tight. Stay true to size if you want a more relaxed flare.
- If you need a skirt that works for both day and night: The mini length and jacquard texture dress up or down. Pair with flats and a cardigan for day, or heels and a corset top for evening. One skirt, two distinct looks.
- If you prefer easy care: The viscose-nylon blend requires hand washing or dry cleaning. If you want a machine-washable option, look for a different fabric. Hand wash cold and lay flat to dry.
