High Waist Wide Waistband Active Skirt

How to measure

To choose your size — measuring your body

Use a soft tape measure. Measure over bare skin or a thin layer of clothing, stand relaxed (don’t suck in), keep the tape parallel to the floor and snug but not tight. Record measurements in inches or cm.

1. High waist — Measure where you want the skirt waistband to sit (this skirt is high-waisted). Wrap the tape around that point and record the circumference.
2. Hips — Measure the fullest part of your hips/buttocks with feet together. This is the most important number for a skirt fit.
3. Skirt length — From the high-waist point (where the waistband will sit) straight down to where you want the skirt hem to fall.
4. Built-in short inseam (if applicable) — Measure from crotch seam down the inside of the short to the hem to check coverage.
5. Waistband width — Measure the vertical height of the wide waistband to see how much coverage/support it provides at the waist.

For product listings — measuring the garment (flat-lay)

Lay the skirt flat on a smooth surface, smooth out wrinkles without stretching fabric, then measure and double where noted.

1. Waist (flat) — Measure straight across the top of the waistband and multiply by 2 to get the circumference.
2. Hips (flat) — Measure across the widest part of the skirt (typically 2"–4" below the waistband) and multiply by 2.
3. Length — Measure from the top edge of the waistband (or folded waistband top if applicable) straight down to the hem.
4. Inseam of built-in shorts — Measure from crotch seam to inner short hem.
5. Hem width — Measure across the hem and multiply by 2 to show the skirt’s flare at the bottom.

Note: stretch fabrics will give additional ease. When in doubt, compare these measurements to a similar skirt you already own.

Materials (what to expect)

Check the garment care label for the exact fiber content. Active skirts with a wide waistband commonly use the following fabrics and finishes:

• Nylon + Elastane/Spandex — Soft hand, excellent stretch and recovery, lightweight, durable and fast-drying. Often used for smooth, supportive skirts and liners.
• Polyester + Elastane/Spandex — Breathable, moisture-wicking and colorfast; retains shape and resists pilling. Common for quick-dry activewear.
• Recycled polyester or regenerated nylon — Similar performance to virgin fibers with a lower environmental footprint.
• Built-in short/liner (nylon or polyester blends) — Often made with breathable stretch fabric or a mesh gusset for ventilation and coverage.
• Wide waistband construction — Usually double-layered and may include an elastic or power-mesh panel for shaping and stay-put comfort.
• Performance finishes — Moisture-wicking, anti-odor/antimicrobial treatments, UPF sun protection or DWR (water-repellent) coatings are sometimes applied; check the label for specifics.

Fabric weight (gsm) affects opacity and coverage: higher weight = more opaque and structured; lower weight = lighter and more breathable.

Model information (example)

To help customers visualize fit, many product pages include a model stat block. Example:

• Model height: 5'9" (175 cm)
• Model measurements: Bust 32" / Waist 24" / Hips 35"
• Wearing: Size S — shown with a snug, athletic fit

Tip: include the model’s height, measurements and the size they’re wearing so shoppers can compare with their own measurements and choose the right size.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors; turn the skirt inside out to protect finishes and prints.
• Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners (they reduce moisture-wicking and DWR performance).
• Avoid bleach and harsh stain removers unless the label permits them.
• Air dry flat or hang to dry for best elasticity and to prevent waistband distortion; tumble dry low only if the care label allows.
• If the skirt has DWR or performance finishes, avoid repeated high-heat drying and reproof as needed following the finish manufacturer’s guidance.
• Wash with similar fabrics (avoid rough items like jeans or items with Velcro/zippers) and use a laundry bag for extra protection.
• Spot-clean stains promptly; rinse salt or chlorine off swim-use garments immediately to prolong fabric life.
• Store folded rather than hung long-term to prevent the waistband from stretching out.

Style tips

• For workouts: pair with a fitted tank or sports bra and supportive running shoes — the wide waistband provides secure, no-roll support during activity.
• Casual/athleisure: wear with a cropped crewneck sweatshirt or an oversized tee and clean sneakers for a relaxed, on-the-go look.
• Travel: layer with a lightweight jacket and slip-on sneakers; the skirt’s quick-dry fabric makes it easy to wash and re-wear.
• Day-to-night: swap sneakers for low-heeled sandals or ankle boots and add delicate jewelry and a crossbody bag for an elevated casual outfit.
• Cooler weather: layer opaque tights under the skirt and finish with ankle boots and a longer coat.
• Waist emphasis: tuck or knot a tee into the wide waistband or wear a cropped top to highlight your waistline.
• Color pairing: neutrals (black, navy, gray) are versatile; bright or patterned skirts work well with tonal or simple neutral tops to balance the look.
