Would you view this garment advertised on line and think - great look, I'll take it?

I only wanted to discuss the strange look and why a retailer would think it would sell.

Do a bit of research if you're that bothered who the retailer is. Clue : reverse search.

I did just that. And it was on Gant but
not impossible to get anywhere…. Which means out of stock!

It's a yachtie/stewie staple

"chino style with an extra feminine look. The regular fit piece has a flattering A-line shape"

I'd say it's neither of those things. Looks like it would crease like buggery.

It's not a good photo/advert for the product. It looks more like someone trying to sell something pre-loved rather than a major retailer.

I quite like it but that’s because I would’ve worn something similar when I was young 30 years ago. I probably would’ve worn it with a top tucked in or shirt over the top and not those shoes.

boat shoes & short skirt? not for me

First pic looks like a male to me in the cropped version before I opened it up. Second one female.

First thing I noticed/presumed TBH.

Egglio · 08/02/2026 15:47

It's very Kay's catalogue 1998.

It wouldn't suit me. But it will look good on some

Edited

I agree about the first picture, I thought it was a man in a frock.

there's nothing wrong with the skirt per se, it's the styling of it in the first photo in order to presumably sell it which baffles me.

I also thought it was a man.

Christmasinmecar · 08/02/2026 16:08

What an ugly combo, not flattering nor a good look for anyone. Style board loves me when they are fawning over something like this that looks truly awful.

Yes the wearer is shapeless.

Lavenderandbrown · 08/02/2026 16:13

It’s generic fit and color and probably its only redeeming point is ….it goes with everything 😂 Ugly unflattering and poorly styled in the advertisement. I hate beige khaki or tan clothes tho for women and often even for men. it has a utilitarian edge which I don’t like …a skirt but for a busy day…whereas I would wear jeans for a busy day.

It reminds me of 1980s boys uniforms…blue oxford shirt and khakis. Some men never outgrow that combination.

Very American preppy Martha’s Vineyard. The frumpier the better. Also very last century.

Where do you find all this spare time OP?! 😂

I’m not the OP but do you not look at clothes online? You’re on here so obviously not that busy in your life. 😅

Flannelfeet · 08/02/2026 17:01

Imagine taking a dose of the runs with that skirt on 🤣🤣🤣

This skirt isn’t available ANYWHERE

it is very weird. Do a google image search.

it was a gant skirt but not this season

so how the OP came across it is a mystery as is reluctance to share a link!

FiftyShadesOfPurple · 08/02/2026 17:04

Ooo, yes!*
