This is vintage the way fashion people actually want vintage now. Not precious. Not costume. Just quietly excellent fabric and a silhouette that still makes sense in a modern wardrobe.
That muted olive tone sits in the same lane as old European workwear and 90s minimalist tailoring. The kind of skirt you keep reaching for because it grounds everything else you own. It reads thoughtful, not trend-led. Someone who shops with intention.
The structure is the point. Clean waist, soft pleats, weight that holds shape but moves when you walk. It has that “real clothes” energy — the kind you wear on repeat, not once for photos.
Style it like a woman who knows what she’s doing: oversized knit half-tucked, leather flats or loafers, slick bun, big coat. Or push it sharper with a fitted top and pointed heel for quiet evening energy. Always better when it looks effortless.
Waist: approx 24”, Length: approx 29”

Feels like wool from touch
Shown on size 6 (it's tight on me, would be much better on an XS/S, 2/4)
