Women's clothing stores selling skirts
The skirt is the most varied single garment in women's retail: a pencil skirt, a denim skirt and a cashmere knit skirt are bought for different wardrobes, different seasons and different reasons, so skirt shopping rewards stores that carry range. This directory lists women's skirt retailers from Ann Taylor — founded in 1954 and grown into the Ann Taylor, LOFT and factory brands — through bebe's contemporary lines, Chico's, which has dressed women for over 25 years with chic prints and its wrinkle-free Travelers collection, Dress Barn, Charlotte Russe and Mandee for value and junior fashion, and international and heritage names such as Mango and Pringle of Scotland, founded in 1815 at the birthplace of Scottish knitwear. Isabella Oliver, listed here, adds maternity and ready-to-wear skirts sold exclusively online. The listings come first; below them are the main skirt silhouettes, lengths and fabrics, and how to choose between them.

Silhouette decides what a skirt does. The pencil skirt follows the body to the knee and is the workwear standard — the designer label wool pencil skirts of the Dress Barn listing are the classic example — and it needs a kick vent or stretch to walk in. The A-line flares gently from the waist and suits the widest range of figures and occasions. Pleated skirts add movement and volume, in knife, box or accordion pleats, and read dressier than their fabric alone would suggest. The full or circle skirt is the high-volume, vintage-leaning option; the straight skirt is the pencil's straighter, less fitted cousin; and wrap skirts adjust at the waist, which makes them forgiving fit-wise and popular in maternity ranges such as Isabella Oliver's, listed here. The retailers in this directory lean different ways — Ann Taylor and Dress Barn toward tailored work skirts, Charlotte Russe and Mandee toward junior fashion skirts, Pringle toward knit skirts — so the silhouette you want points to the store.
Length is named by where the hem falls: mini above mid-thigh, knee-length at the knee, midi at mid-calf, and maxi at the ankle. Midi is the most versatile modern length, working with boots in winter and sandals in summer; maxi skirts in light fabrics are a summer staple and appear in resort ranges; knee-length remains the office default. Fabric decides season and care as much as style: wool and wool-blend skirts are the winter workwear standard, denim skirts — flagged at the head of this directory — are year-round casual wear, leather skirts are a trend-led statement, and cashmere and fine knit skirts, the Pringle speciality, behave almost like knitwear. Lining matters in tailored skirts: a lined skirt hangs better, slides over tights without clinging, and outlasts an unlined one, which is a fair quality check in any store on this page.
Start from the tops you already own: a skirt earns its place if it pairs with at least three of them. Waist fit is the critical measurement — skirts sit at the natural waist or just below, and a waistband that fits when standing must also fit when sitting, so sit down in the fitting room. Check the hem from the side in a long mirror: A-lines and pleats should hang level, and a pencil skirt should not ride up as you walk a few steps. For travel, the wrinkle-free knit fabrics Chico's built its Travelers collection on are the practical answer; for occasion wear, the special-occasion ranges at Ann Taylor and bebe cover the dressier end of this directory. If you are between the tailored and casual ends of the market, the women's jeans stores directory covers the same stores' denim ranges.
A pencil skirt is fitted closely to the body to the knee, usually with a kick vent for walking. A straight skirt falls in a straighter, less body-conscious line from hip to hem.
Midi — mid-calf. It works with boots in winter and sandals in summer, and reads appropriately for both office and occasion wear.
A lined skirt hangs and moves better, does not cling to tights or legs, and generally outlasts an unlined skirt. It is a useful quality check in tailored styles.
