Confusing skirt!

It's probably just me and you lovely MNetters will have an immediate and unanimous answer for me. I bought this skirt a while ago, but which way round does it bloody go?

The position of the label indicates that the pockets and split are at the front. But surely this is madness?! Or is it a style development post-1980 that has passed me by?

It's sits ok either way, surprisingly.

Yes label at the back so yes the split and pockets front.

UnimaginativeUsername · 06/03/2018 20:45

I’d guess the slit and pockets go to the front. The seams on the other side appear to make it fit your arse.

niceberg · 06/03/2018 20:56

Thank you both my dears. There are similar seams on the 'plain' side too, so maybe it's for double-arsed folk Grin

I wore it the other day with pockets and split to the front and it just felt all kinds of wrong. This skirt is messing with my head.

Split at the front is more common than you might think, I’ve got a few skirts like that

FlamingGoat · 06/03/2018 21:20

Split at the front. I've got that skirt in plain olive.

niceberg · 06/03/2018 21:25

Well I'm feeling more and more reassured. I might even give it another go tomorrow yay!

Try it with split to the back and see which way you prefer?

niceberg · 06/03/2018 22:13

I tried it well but even though no-one else could see it I knew the label was in the wrong place, and frankly I was disturbed.

I'm going to have to get a grip, one way or another.

Un pick the label and wear it which ever way you prefer.

I like a split at the back. Split at the front seems wrong to me.

Split and pockets at the front. It's quite a common style...

Split and pockets at the front. It's quite a common style...

Is it?!?

Thebirthdayparty · 06/03/2018 23:45

Pockets at the front. They usually are on skirts.

niceberg · 07/03/2018 06:09

I like your style Dextro.

I also think split and pockets at the front. I have a skirt similar.

Kittykatmacbill · 07/03/2018 18:46

Funfact - we had a supply teacher who the same skirt for a whole term, alternating each day; split at the front / split at the back.

I suggest you don’t do this unless you want your 4th form girls to mock you solidly...

niceberg · 07/03/2018 18:57

Haha Kitty so I actually have 2 skirts for the price of 1! Who knew?
