{"product_id":"maria-de-la-orden-skirt-long-owl-knit-skirt-navy","title":"Maria de la Orden | Long Owl Knit Skirt - Navy","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Long Owl Knit Skirt anchors itself in navy, a tone that reads as both grounding and quietly luxurious against the softness of its knit construction. This is a skirt built on texture: a smocked waistband gathers the fabric into fine, elasticated pleats that give without ever losing shape, while a ruffled hem introduces movement at the base, catching light and air as the wearer walks. Delicate white touches punctuate the navy ground, small moments of contrast that keep the piece from reading as flat or purely utilitarian. In pure cotton, the hand is natural and breathable, with a slight substance to it that holds the skirt's silhouette rather than clinging or collapsing.\n\nThe knit itself has a tactile, almost hand-worked quality — dense enough to structure the piece through the body, soft enough to move fluidly below the hip. Cotton knit of this weight tends to soften further with wear, taking on a lived-in ease that suits the piece's relaxed, all-day character. The smocking at the waist is functional as much as decorative: it flexes with the body, meaning the fit adapts across the day rather than fighting against it, while still defining a clear waistline above the fuller lower half.\n\nCut long, the skirt sits at a maxi or long-midi length, its volume concentrated at the hem where the ruffle detail adds fullness without bulk. The proportion is intentionally loose through the body, skimming rather than hugging, which keeps the knit from over-defining the silhouette. This looseness is what gives the piece its ease of movement: with each step, the ruffled hem shifts and resettles, lending the skirt a gentle, unforced motion that a more rigid fabric could not achieve. The smocked waist means it can be worn instinctively, without concern for exact sizing at the hip or waistline.\n\nIn motion, the skirt behaves less like tailoring and more like something between knitwear and dresswear — soft, responsive, with a slight sway built into its construction. This makes it suited to transitional dressing: layered under a fitted knit or a structured jacket for cooler days, or worn alone with a simple top when the weather allows more skin to show. The white accents against navy give it enough definition to pair confidently with solid colour separates, without competing for attention.\n\nStyle it with a fine-gauge jumper tucked at the waistband to let the smocking show, finished with ankle boots and a structured coat over the top — a combination that lets the skirt's texture and length do the visual work while keeping the rest of the outfit deliberately restrained.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MARIA DE LA ORDEN","offers":[{"title":"NAVY \/ S","offer_id":41821146710149,"sku":"698 LONG OWL KNIT SKIRT","price":1690.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true},{"title":"NAVY \/ M","offer_id":41821146742917,"sku":"698 LONG OWL KNIT SKIRT","price":1690.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true},{"title":"NAVY \/ L","offer_id":41821146775685,"sku":"698 LONG OWL KNIT SKIRT","price":1690.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0351\/5757\/3765\/files\/MARIA_DE_LA_ORDEN-698_LONG_OWL_KNIT_SKIRT-NAVY_01.jpg?v=1787265830","url":"https:\/\/ruemadame.com\/products\/maria-de-la-orden-skirt-long-owl-knit-skirt-navy","provider":"RUE MADAME | BOUTIQUE PARISIENNE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
