Style Tips

Sew the CIA SKIRT in linen or cotton for an effortlessly elegant warm-weather wardrobe staple. Choose poplin for a cleaner and more polished everyday look, or chambray for a relaxed casual interpretation.

The high waistband, circular cut, midi length, and flowing silhouette give CIA a timeless feminine character that can easily be styled for different occasions.

Pair it with a fitted tank top, simple T-shirt, blouse, cropped top, or fitted knitwear to balance the volume of the skirt.

For a coordinated handmade outfit, pair the CIA SKIRT with a matching blouse or top in the same fabric. Dress it up with heels and a structured top, or keep it casual with sandals, sneakers, or a simple tucked-in T-shirt.
