Description
The Elle skirt is a simple and comfortable jersey skirt. It is high-waisted with an elastic waistband, and it is cut right below the calves. The skirt has an off centre slit on the left side, and it has a simple A-line fit.
Our Stylist Says
I love the versatility of the Elle high-waisted midi, as it can seamlessly transition from office to evening wear. Its sleek black hue makes it an easy classic, while the high waist adds a flattering shape. In terms of interiors, it pairs well with minimalist, contemporary spaces-think monochrome palettes and clean lines-and can be complemented by refined textures like marble or velvet. Practical styling tips include pairing it with a tucked-in blouse or a crisp shirt for smarter looks, and adding a cosy jumper or blazer for more relaxed, yet polished, outfits. The slit adds a modern touch, making it suitable for both formal and casual occasions, which is always a plus if you're after a wardrobe staple that’s both stylish and adaptable.

About John Lewis
A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
