Soft Skirt
The ESPRIT skirt icon is about movement: pleats, A-line volume and casual color instead of rigid occasion dressing.
Story & heritage
WWD’s 2023 ESPRIT rebuild coverage lists soft skirts among the brand’s hero or signature products. In the icon set, it balances parkas, jeans and tracksuits with a lighter, more fluid ready-to-wear idea.
The retail image sweep found ESPRIT skirts across pleated, A-line, mini and floral versions, matching the “soft” direction without relying on a single invented model name.
Materials & craft
The visible construction cues are pleating, A-line volume, simple waistbands and light woven or fluid fabrics. The current evidence supports a family rather than one fixed SKU, so the copy stays at family level.
How to choose & style
Style it with the button-down or chunky knit to keep the ESPRIT mood casual. Pleats work with loafers or trainers; the mini versions need only a plain knit and opaque tights.
