Aye Steps Structured Cotton Bold Maxi Skirt

Let Aye Steps put the colour into your colder-weather wardrobe. Wear it with a black knit and boots, and the orange, red, black and grey print gives the whole outfit a lift.

The structured Dutch wax cotton gives the panels their shape, creating a full maxi silhouette with movement as you walk. The skirt is unlined, with an elasticated waistband and adjustable drawstring to help you find a comfortable fit. Deep side pockets keep your hands free.

Try it with a crisp shirt tucked in for lunch or dinner, or a plain jumper with a little tucked at the front. The print brings plenty of interest, so getting dressed can stay simple.

One customer bought hers for a significant family event. Another told us: "What a statement it makes when worn dressed up or down."

Before You Order

How does the one-size fit work?

The elasticated waistband stretches, and the drawstring lets you tighten the waist. Check the garment measurements in the size guide before ordering and allow room for comfort rather than wearing the elastic at its limit.

Is the fabric soft and flowing or more structured?

This is structured Dutch wax cotton. It gives the skirt its full shape, so expect volume through the panels rather than a close, draped fit.

How can I judge the fullness on my frame?

Use the full-length photographs to see how the skirt sits away from the body. A tucked-in shirt or a neat knit keeps your waist visible. Compare the skirt's measurements with a skirt you already enjoy wearing.

How long is it?

Aye Steps is a maxi skirt. Where the hem falls depends on your height and where you wear the waistband. Compare the length in the size guide with a skirt you already wear, especially if you are petite.

Is it lined?

No, Aye Steps is unlined. The structured Dutch wax cotton gives it its full shape.

Does it have pockets?

Yes, there are deep side pockets.

How can I wear it in cooler weather?

Try a black knit, tights and boots for everyday wear, or a crisp shirt with a cardigan and closed-toe shoes. The orange print also works well with cream and charcoal.

How should I care for the print?

Hand wash inside out in lukewarm water, keeping light and dark colours separate. Do not wring, rub, twist or tumble dry. Hang in the shade and iron on the reverse at no more than 110°C. Follow the garment care label.
