Midi length. Gabardine. Front buttons that make the whole outfit click into place.

The SHINY skirt (£495) is a lesson in how a single detail can transform a classic silhouette — a midi gabardine body elevated by a row of stylish front buttons that run the full length of the skirt. The kind of piece that makes getting dressed feel like an art form.

Button-front midi skirt: fashion's most elegant equation:

Front buttons on a midi skirt do three things simultaneously — they create vertical lines that elongate, they allow for varying levels of coverage by how many you fasten, and they add a design element that makes the skirt a complete statement on its own. SHINY's button placement is calculated for maximum effect.

Gabardine midi: the fabric and length that work hardest:

A gabardine midi skirt is perhaps the most versatile bottom in the wardrobe — structured enough for formal settings, relaxed enough for creative environments, appropriate for almost every occasion you'll face. SHINY makes this workhorse beautiful.

Honest answers:

"Can I wear the buttons open?" — Yes. Fastened fully for the most refined look; open at the hem for movement and a different silhouette.
"What does 'stylish front buttons' mean specifically?" — The buttons are a design feature — chosen for visual impact as much as function. They're the point of the piece.
"Is a midi skirt appropriate for evening?" — In gabardine with statement buttons, absolutely. Pair with a fitted top and heels.

The skirt that does the most. Order yours before they're gone.
