What's the difference between mini, midi, and maxi skirts?
What's the difference between mini, midi, and maxi skirts?
Mini skirts hit at mid-thigh to just above the knee — the shortest length, designed to show leg. Quince's mini skirts include the Stretch Denim Mini, Lightweight Crepe A-Line Mini, and 100% Washable Silk Mini. Midi skirts hit between the knee and mid-calf — the most versatile length, polished enough for office wear and casual enough for daytime. The bulk of Quince's skirt assortment is midi-length. Maxi skirts hit at the ankle or floor — the longest length, more dramatic, ideal for warm-weather wear (linen, organic cotton) or evening wear (silk). Pick by occasion: mini for casual/evening, midi for office and daytime versatility, maxi for warm-weather flow.
What's the difference between an A-line skirt, pencil skirt, and pleated skirt?
What's the difference between an A-line skirt, pencil skirt, and pleated skirt?
A-line skirts have a fitted waist that flares out toward the hem in an 'A' shape — flattering for most body types, with a feminine silhouette. Quince's A-line options include the Lightweight Crepe A-Line Mini, Organic Cotton Poplin A-line Maxi, and Organic Cotton Sateen A-line Midi. Pencil skirts are fitted from waist to hem in a straight, narrow cut — designed for polished office wear. Quince offers the Stretch Leather Pencil, Ultra-Stretch Ponte Pencil, and Ultra-Stretch Ponte Maxi Pencil. Pleated skirts have crisp folds running vertically through the fabric, adding movement and texture — Quince's pleated options include the Chiffon Pleated Midi, Pleated Matte Midi (sunburst pleats), and Court Sport Pleated Tennis Skirt.

How do Quince skirts fit?
How do Quince skirts fit?
Most run true to size with cuts that match traditional skirt fit conventions. Stretch denim, ponte, and stretch leather styles have built-in stretch and fit close to the body — true to size for most. Silk, linen, and organic cotton styles have natural drape and fit closer to standard sizing. The cashmere midi and ponte pencil styles fit slim/fitted; size up if you prefer a looser silhouette. A-line, pleated, and tiered maxi styles have inherent room through the hip given the silhouette shape. Most styles have either an elastic, smocked, or pull-on waistband — size guides on each product page. The skorts have built-in shorts hidden under the skirt panel.
What is a skort and how is it different from a skirt?
What is a skort and how is it different from a skirt?
A skort is a skirt with built-in shorts hidden underneath — the front looks like a regular skirt, the back has shorts for full coverage and ease of movement. Designed for active wear, warm-weather days, or anyone who wants the look of a skirt with practical bottoms. Quince offers several skort styles: the Performance Tech Skort (designed for tennis and active wear, sun protection, quick-dry fabric), the 100% European Linen Skort (high-rise, overlap front panel, breathable linen), and the 100% European Linen Utility Skort (warm-weather utility cut). Skorts work well for warm-weather travel, light sports, or any time you want skirt styling without the wardrobe-management concern.
How do I care for silk, linen, leather, and stretch denim skirts?
How do I care for silk, linen, leather, and stretch denim skirts?
Care varies by material. For 100% Washable Silk (Mulberry silk satin): machine wash cold on a delicate cycle in a mesh bag, lay flat to dry. The 'washable' construction means these silks don't require dry cleaning. For 100% European Linen: machine wash cold gentle, hang dry — linen wrinkles are characteristic of the fabric. For 100% Mongolian Cashmere Midi: hand wash cool or wool/delicate cycle in a mesh bag, lay flat to dry. For 100% Organic Cotton (poplin, sateen, gauze): machine wash cool gentle, tumble dry low or hang dry. For stretch denim: machine wash cold inside-out, tumble dry low. For 100% top grain sheep leather (Stretch Leather Pencil): spot clean only or professional clean. For ponte stretch knit: machine wash cool gentle, lay flat. For chiffon and crepe styles: hand wash or wool/delicate cycle. Avoid bleach across all materials.
