The Skirts Buying Guide
Why this comes up
Buying Reformation Layla Linen Skirt comes down to a few checks you can do from the product page. Everything else is preference. A skirt that fits the waist can be shortened. One that fits the hip cannot be let out. A lining is the difference between a skirt that hangs and one that clings. The groups below run from the decision that matters most to the ones you make afterwards.
What actually decides it
What decides this is waist fit, length and lining. Everything else is preference. Two from the first group show the range: Betsey Johnson's LOVELY LAYERS SKIRT LIGHT PURPLE at $89, and St. Agni's Feathered Silk Skirt - Black at $239. The first is the easy entry point; the second is where the money goes. A lining is the difference between a skirt that hangs and one that clings. A skirt that fits the waist can be shortened. One that fits the hip cannot be let out. A higher price mostly buys materials and finishing, and occasionally it buys nothing at all.
How to wear it
Match the volume: full skirt, fitted top, and the reverse. From the second group, Betsey Johnson's MIDNIGHT RODEO SKIRT BLACK ($89) is the one that earns its place, because it works in more than one context without being restyled. The third group is smaller and deliberately narrower, skirts, for the decisions you make after the main one. None of this needs the whole group. One piece from each is usually enough.
Our honest take
There are 20 skirts here from 15 brands, $20 to $358, all in stock when this was written. We would not buy all of them, and neither should you. Detoure's Princess Polly - Polka Dot Mini Skirt - US6 (Like-New) at $20 is the low-risk way in, and DÔEN's ELOWETTE SKIRT -- WILDFLOWER BRAMBLE at $358 only makes sense if this is a category you already use constantly. On reformation layla linen skirt specifically: the difference between the top and the bottom of this list is real but smaller than the price gap suggests. Nothing here is included because it is famous, and price is not used as a proxy for quality anywhere on this page. If you take one thing away: one considered purchase beats three hedged ones.
