Banana Republic Midi Skirt

Era: Early 2000s — Banana Republic 

Material: Cream, gray, and black diagonal stripe print, mixed fabric paneling with ribbed knit and woven satin-finish strips, fluted godet hem, elasticated gray waistband, midi length

Condition: Good — fabric and paneling fully intact, no pulls or fading, hem in solid shape.

This skirt is the answer to every "what do I wear with that top" problem you've ever had. The diagonal stripe paneling, cream, gray, black, makes it work as a neutral while still being genuinely interesting. Pair it with a simple fitted tank or a sleek cowl-neck top tucked in and let the skirt move. The godet hem flares as you walk, so it has a life to it that flat skirts don't. It sits at a natural waist with the gray knit band, which means it also works with something cropped. Wear it with a black buckle flat like the photo, or elevate it with a pointed kitten heel. Either way it reads polished without trying.
