Hush ribbed skirt

[yumscrummy]

Any thoughts on this skirt below? In my mid 40's and it is the style that suits me but worried it may be too young!!

I found this at John Lewis & Partners. What do you think?  https://www.johnlewis.com/hush-penny-ribbed-knit-midi-skirt-midnight-navy/p109243671?tmad=c&tmcampid=7&sshare=jlappioss_Y29tLmFwcGxlLlVJS2l0LmFjdGl2aXR5LkNvcHlUb1Bhc3RlYm9hcmQ=

I like the style a lot - hard to find now, and one that suits me. I really hate the colour though.

I love the style but because it reminds me of what I wore in the 90s!

It reminds me of a slightly longer, navy Merino wool version from Hobbs which had small kick pleats at the back which I wore with a matching short, fitted cardigan jacket. That must have been late 1990s early 2000s ?

I still have jacket. Skirt stopped fitting a while back. I got so much wear out of them.

I can't begin to imagine how you think it might be too young for you. (Or that Hobbs these days would have a pure Merino version)

It’s gorgeous!…if I was slim enough and tall enough I would wear ( and I am 59)

What do you mean too young op? It’s fine. That skirt would be fine for a woman of any age.

Indeed, fine for any woman of any age or build.

I'm 52 and would happily wear it.

I agree it’s not a skirt that is tied to any age group. I hope you are a size 10 though OP, because it’s all they have left.

I love this skirt, sad that is seems sold out 😕 xx

Thanks everyone, I ordered it. Was concerned that it was too fitted but feel more confident about it now!

I wasn't quite sure what to expect of a skirt that you have to be young/slim/tall enough to wear. And not only that, but it was in a tricky colour.

I think I must have the wrong link...

I’m little and a curvy size 14, but find this style quite flattering on me. Really wish there were more of these around.

I'm wearing a black sparkly one from esprit rn which I think looks good!

Reminds me of a wheelie bin bag.

Because bin bags are always blue and knitted? Right.

@Tanaqui Thar sounds great.

I’ve got a black CK one. This thread has inspired me to wear it tomorrow.

I ordered and sent back that skirt, it doesn’t look IRL like the picture. I’m older than you and I loved the style on the model. But it’s really thick wool IRL and looked really bad on me! I have a dress from Hush that has a knitted bottom half like I thought the skirt would be which I love so I had high hopes.

@RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie did you wear it? And if you don't mind sharing (for inspiration!), what did you put on top?

I didn’t because I totally forgot! I tend to wear it with a black turtleneck thin merino jumper, or with a slim-fit top and then slouchier blazer. Tights and heeled ankle boots.

I’m 55 and wear a lot of stuff from Hush.

If it suits your body shape, go for it, it’s lovely!

It’s lovely but being hand wash only puts me off.

I love the skirt but would find navy hard to work with in winter. Would look wrong with black tights so would need bare legs.

I've ordered it .. thanks OP! Collecting tomorrow.

@EllaPaella I agree balck wouldn't be good with navy. I have navy knee high suede boots and navy leather chunky ankle boots so hopefully that'll work.

I think tan looks good with navy too.

Go for it OP! I'm late 30s. I'm wearing it with mid calf DM knock offs so only half an inch of leg showing. Black leggings/tights. It's super comfy and goes with everything, comfier than jeans and warmer too! Looks great with a bomber jacket!

I ignore hand wash only and dry clean only instructions. Gentle was at 30 is usually fine.
