Etta Short Velvet Skirt

A short cord skater skirt in cotton velvet, cut in a soft Chocolate Torte brown that runs deep and warm. The nipped waist and softly flaring skirt give it a flattering line, made for women who want a bit of vintage texture without the fuss.

Velvet catches the light in a way flat fabrics don't, and the corduroy weave here adds that same subtle depth. With a touch of elastane in the cotton, it has a little give, so you can sit, walk and move without the skirt fighting you. The fabric has enough weight to hold its shape and fall in clean folds rather than clinging.

For an everyday look, pair it with a fitted roll-neck, wool tights and a pair of boots for contrast against the fine velvet. Want something sharper? A blazer over the top lifts it towards evening. The dark brown sits as a neutral, so it takes both soft pastels and deeper autumn shades.
