Black Pleated Skirt, Lola

The Lola Pleated Skirt in Black is a knife-pleated midi skirt in deep black with comfortable elastic waist and fluid movement through the hem. The piece is built for travel-day dressing, smart-casual weekend styling, office environments welcoming softness, daytime wedding guest attire, and Luna sizing inclusivity from 0 through 16.

Fabric
Flowing knife-pleat construction in deep black, finished with a comfortable elastic waist with no zippers or closures, midi length with fluid movement through the hem, and a full lining for comfort. The knife pleats fall cleanly from the elastic waist, creating a silhouette that reads as fluid without sacrificing polish. The midi length and pleat construction make the Lola one of Luna catalog most versatile pieces; sizing across 0 through 16 makes it one of the most inclusive in the catalog. Handcrafted in the Luna atelier in Pozarevac, Serbia, in limited batches. Designed in Europe. Ships from California.

Fit
The Lola runs true to size with a comfortable elastic waist. For a defined shape, the elastic sits at the natural waist. Between sizes, take your usual. Midi length, fully lined. Refer to the Luna sizing guide for measurements. Model is 5 foot 9 inches wearing size 2.

Styling
With the Lucy Draped Blouse in Ivory tucked in for soft-formal day-to-evening dressing where blouse and skirt contrast ivory on black.
Under the Barbara Tailored Blazer in Black with a fine silk camisole for tonal black executive softness across the silhouette.
With the Jody Elegant Lace Blouse in Bordeaux tucked in for fall evening pivots where lace and pleated movement carry the photograph.
Or with the Jody Elegant Lace Top in Ivory tucked in for warm-cool tonal contrast at restaurant arrivals.
Carried with the Jody Lace Clutch Bag in Black for tonal black evening dressing where the clutch echoes the skirt color story.
Or with the Agatha Pearl Detail Blazer in Ivory for ivory-pearl-and-black executive contrast at board day and partner dinners.
Coordinate metal tone consistently: silver and pearl read modern with deep black; gold shifts the look warmer and slightly more traditional.

Care
Knife-pleated midi construction in deep black with elastic waist and full lining. Machine washable on a gentle cycle. Air dry. Steam or iron on low if needed. Spot clean gently when needed. Do not bleach. Store hanging from the waistband to preserve the pleat structure. Steam to refresh between wears.

Questions buyers ask about the Lola Pleated Skirt in Black

How does the black Lola fit, and what size does the model wear?

The black Lola runs true to size, with an elastic waist that sits at your natural waist and no zip at all. It falls just below the knee on our model, who is 5 foot 9 and wears size 2. The Luna sizing guide lists every measurement for sizes 0 to 16.

What is the black Lola made of, and how do I care for it?

The Lola is a fully lined knife-pleated skirt in deep black with a sheer band at the hem. It washes on a gentle cycle and air dries, with no bleach and a low steam to refresh the pleats. Hang it from the waistband between wears so the pleats stay crisp.

What do I wear with the black Lola, and for which occasion?

For the office, wear it with the Black Tailored Blazer, Barbara ($610) for a soft all black look. For a dinner or a daytime wedding, tuck in the Ivory Draped Blouse, Lucy ($560) and let the pleats handle the movement while you handle the toast. Our Capsule Wardrobe That Travels guide and the Business Outfits edit show it packed and worn.
