Why it's worth it
That chunky braided hem turns a skirt into a statement piece.
The Edit
A wool-acrylic blend pencil silhouette fitted from elasticated waistband to knee, where the body gives way to an interlocked looped-cord hem — individual yarn tubes braided into an open lattice frill that stands slightly away from the leg. The chunky gauge knit through the body has visible stitch texture; the braided border shifts the finish from knitwear into something closer to a sculptural trim. Tonal red throughout means the hem reads as structure first, decoration second.
