The midi length fits my petite, plus-size frame like a glove
While I love shopping — so much that I made a career of it — I dread swapping out items in my closet for a new season. There’s a bit of joy in rediscovering the items that I’d tucked away for months, but the tedious task always outweighs the excitement. That’s why I’ve started prioritizing pieces that work no matter the weather.
I had my eye on Quince’s Silk Midi Skirt for a while, and when I finally tried it, I knew it would be a regular in my outfit rotation. It’s lightweight enough to wear with tank tops and tees in warmer months, but layers beautifully with sweaters. I’m already planning to wear the rich red shade for crisp nights out with tights and sweaters — it’s comfortable, versatile, and truly an all-season staple.

From the moment I unboxed the skirt, I was impressed. The silk feels even softer than I expected — it’s light, smooth, and luxe. I chose the wine-tasting red shade, but I’m already eyeing the 14 other available colors, including deep purple, forest green, and navy. The elastic waistband makes it as comfortable as pajamas, yet it still looks elegant and helps me feel confident.
The best part of my skirt is how effortlessly it goes with everything. For a recent party in New York City, I teamed it with a lace-up blouse, leather jacket, and flats — an outfit that earned me plenty of compliments from friends. I’ve also dressed it down with Quince’s Mongolian Cashmere Tee for a more casual vibe. During apple picking season, my go-to combo included the skirt, Quince’s Mongolian Cashmere Fisherman Crewneck Sweater, and loafers.
I’m 5-foot-3-inches tall and a size 16/18, which historically makes shopping for skirts and pants tricky. The size 2X fits me like a glove and hits mid-calf. It’s curve-hugging in all the right ways while still looking classy.
There were a few wrinkles when I first put the skirt on, and though the brand says it’s machine washable, I was nervous about damaging the delicate fabric. I’m happy to report it washed beautifully, and even after a spin in the dryer, it didn’t shrink. Some wrinkles lingered, but a quick pass with a low-heat iron made it look even better than when I first unpacked it — a huge plus for me, since I avoid dry cleaning whenever possible.
Shoppers love this skirt, too, with one person calling it “bright and beautiful.” Another customer praised how “light and delicate” the skirt felt, adding that “the fabric feels amazing on the skin” and it “moves beautifully” when walking, which is something I noticed too.
This skirt has earned a permanent spot in my closet, so I’m snagging it in other colors while they’re still in stock. Keep reading for more versatile Quince skirts I’m eyeing, starting at $40.
