Details & fit highlights
Fabrics Designed for Real Life
We engineer Karen Scott skirts with fabrics that work as hard as you do. Our stretch cotton blends combine the breathability of natural fibers with just enough spandex to move comfortably through your day—no binding or riding up when you sit.
Ponte knit constructions offer the structure of traditional suiting fabrics with built-in stretch, so our pencil skirts maintain their polished look without restricting movement. Jersey knits feel soft against the skin while resisting wrinkles, making them ideal for travel or humid climates. Every fabric passes rigorous wash testing to ensure it maintains color vibrancy and shape retention through dozens of laundry cycles.
Sizing & Fit Guide
Karen Scott skirts are designed to fit true to size across our range of silhouettes. Our A-line and tiered maxi styles feature elastic waistbands that accommodate natural size fluctuations, while our pencil skirts use non-roll waistbands that stay in place without constant adjustment.
Measuring for Your Perfect Fit
For pull-on styles, measure your natural waist where the waistband will sit—typically one to two inches above your navel. For skorts and zipper-closure skirts, measure both your waist and hip circumference at the fullest part. If you’re between sizes, we recommend sizing up in fitted pencil styles and staying true to size in relaxed A-line cuts.
Care Instructions
Machine Washing
Most Karen Scott skirts are machine washable, making them ideal for busy lifestyles. Turn skirts inside out before washing to protect the fabric surface and preserve color. Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle with similar colors—avoid mixing dark and light garments in the same load.
Use a mild detergent without bleach or harsh chemicals that can break down stretch fibers over time. For denim skorts, wash separately for the first few wears to prevent dye transfer. Jersey knit and cotton blend styles can be line-dried or tumble-dried on low heat, while ponte knit skirts should be laid flat to dry to maintain their structured shape.
