Black Pleated Midi Skirt With Pockets

A timeless black midi skirt with pockets, beautiful movement and a subtle vintage edge. This elegant pleated skirt is made in a black-on-black damask fabric, giving it rich texture without limiting how you can style it.

Handcrafted in the USA by Hemet, the skirt features soft pleating through the waistband and a full circle-inspired shape that moves beautifully when you walk or dance. Two practical side pockets and a secure back zipper make it as useful as it is flattering.

Wear it with a fitted blouse and heels for a polished vintage look, pair it with a rockabilly top and petticoat for extra volume, or keep it simple with a T-shirt and boots. This is the kind of black pleated skirt you can dress up, dress down and wear throughout the year.

A Black Pleated Skirt You Can Style Your Way

The understated damask pattern makes this black skirt easy to wear for work, dinners, parties, weddings and everyday occasions. Pair it with white for a classic monochrome outfit, add red accessories for a rockabilly look, or combine it with a colourful blouse to let the texture provide a dark, elegant foundation.

The full shape can be worn naturally for a softer silhouette or styled over a petticoat when you want extra volume and a more dramatic 1950s-inspired look.
