How do I choose the right skirt length for me?

Midi skirts (below the knee) are versatile and suit most occasions, from work to casual; maxi skirts (ankle length) are relaxed and cover more, ideal for a modest or boho look; shorter styles suit warm days and a younger, casual feel. Consider your comfort, the occasion and the weather when choosing a length.

What's the difference between a pencil skirt and an A-line or pleated skirt?

A pencil skirt is fitted and straight, giving a smart, tailored look that suits work and formal settings. An A-line or pleated skirt is fuller and flares out from the waist, which is more forgiving, comfortable and easy to move in. Choose a pencil skirt for a sleek look or a pleated one for comfort and everyday ease.

Which skirts are best for work versus weekends?

Straight, pencil and neat midi skirts in denim or plain colours suit a smart-casual workplace, while denim maxi skirts, satin and pleated styles are great for weekends and evenings. A dark denim or plain midi skirt is the most versatile, dressing up with a blouse for work or down with a T-shirt for casual days.

How should a skirt fit around the waist and hips?

A skirt should sit comfortably at the waist without digging in, and skim the hips without pulling. Use the size guide and measure your waist and hips for the best match. Elasticated and ribbed waists offer more give if you're between sizes, while fitted denim and pencil styles have a more structured, exact fit.

What tops go well with a denim skirt?

A denim skirt is easy to style — pair it with a plain or printed T-shirt for casual days, a fitted knit or blouse for a smarter look, or a jersey and boots for winter. Tucking your top in defines the waist. Denim's neutral tone means it works with almost any colour top in your wardrobe.

Which skirt fabric is most practical for everyday wear?

Denim and cotton-blend skirts are hard-wearing and easy to wash, making them the most practical for regular wear. Ribbed knit skirts are comfortable and stretchy, while satin and pleated styles look dressier but need gentler care. For low-maintenance everyday wear, a denim or knit midi skirt is a dependable choice.

Can I return a skirt if the fit is wrong?

Yes, PEP accepts returns and exchanges in line with its current returns policy, so you can bring a skirt back if the waist or length isn't right — check the latest returns time frame and conditions in-store or online. Keep your till slip or proof of purchase, and keep tags on until you're happy with the fit.
