Houndstooth Ada Pleated Kilt

Product Description

Heritage charm meets a sweeping, modern length in our Joules Ada Pleated Kilt, a sartorial standout for your seasonal wardrobe. Offering tailored movement, this piece brings a polished spirit to dimly lit dinners, Sunday afternoon family gatherings, or elevated city cafe-hopping. The kilt is structured from our signature midweight Ada fabric, blending a fluid drape with structured pleats. Infused with a hint of stretch, the waistband moves comfortably with you, while a concealed zip fastening ensures a completely smooth fit across the hips. Falling to a contemporary midaxi length that hovers gracefully between the calf and the ankle, the skirt is fully lined to prevent clinging, ensuring it layers flawlessly over tights as the air cools.

A midaxi length is a stylish hybrid designed to sit right between a midi (calf length) and a maxi (ankle length). On a standard frame, the hemline will fall elegantly at the lower shin, offering excellent coverage and a sophisticated silhouette that highlights your choice of boots or loafers. Will the sharp pleats flatten out or warp after sitting down or machine washing? No, the pleats are engineered to keep their shape. By blending viscose with polyester, the fabric fibres lock in their shape to ensures the sharp, pressed edges hold cleanly after machine washing and resist flattening during long dinners. Is the waistband elasticated, or is it completely structured? To preserve the traditional aesthetic of a heritage kilt, the front and back of the waistband are flat and tailored rather than gathered. However, the 2% elastane woven directly into the Ada fabric provides a subtle, comfortable give.
