I’ve Tried Every Reformation Skirt – Here’s What’s Worth It

The Best Reformation Skirts to Buy Right Now

Reformation has a particular talent for skirts. The brand’s dresses get more column inches, and the denim has its own devoted following — but the skirt edit is where the real intelligence lives. The proportions are consistently right, the fabrics earn their place, and the silhouettes land somewhere between occasion and everyday in a way that very few labels at this price point manage to sustain. These are not trend pieces. The best Reformation skirts are wardrobe decisions.

The conversation this season is largely centred on the Carolina Silk — a lace-hem midi in 100% silk charmeuse that has appeared across more editorial edits and personal wardrobes than any other piece in the range. But the broader edit has plenty worth knowing: structured minis for those who wear them well, considered A-line midis, and a denim option that has the ease of something you’ve owned for years. Here, the skirts worth your attention.

The Carolina Silk Skirt — The One Everyone Is Buying

This is the skirt. A mid-rise midi in 100% silk charmeuse with a delicate lace hem, the Carolina lands at the intersection of classic and specific — the kind of piece that has a point of view without trying too hard. It reads equally well with a simple tank and flat sandals or a fine-knit tucked in for dinner. The fabric moves, the lace hem adds weight and interest at the ankle, and the midi length makes it one of the more versatile pieces in the range. It runs large — size down if you’re between sizes. Available in multiple colourways including Black Bean, Almond, Cornflower, and Cherry Blossom.

The Lucy Skirt — The Full-Skirt Investment

For those who prefer a more generous silhouette, the Lucy is the strongest option in the current Reformation edit. An A-line ankle-length skirt with a fitted waist and a full skirt, it has the architectural quality that makes investment dressing in skirts worthwhile — a shape that requires nothing else to look considered. It works across seasons with simple knitwear and ankle boots, and the full hem length gives it an elegance that shorter styles in this category can’t quite replicate.

The Rory Skirt — The Office Option

A mid-rise A-line with front pleated detailing and a detachable belt, the Rory is the skirt in the range best suited to the women in CSC’s orbit — the one who needs her wardrobe to work from a Tuesday meeting to a Thursday dinner without a full change in between. The pleats add structure without formality, the detachable belt means you can wear it with or depending on the occasion, and the A-line proportion is one of the most universally flattering shapes Reformation produces.

The Carla Low Waist Skirt — The Statement Mini

Not every piece in a wardrobe needs to be a quiet one. The Carla is Reformation’s lowest-rise, shortest option — an ultra mini in heavyweight crepe made from Naia Renew acetate, a material produced from wood pulp and repurposed waste that drapes considerably better than that description suggests. It runs large and Reformation recommends sizing down. This is the more directional purchase in the edit — one for the reader who wears this silhouette with confidence and wants the best version of it.

The Nila Denim Skirt — The Maxi Worth Having

Reformation’s denim category is serious, and the Nila Maxi carries that credibility into skirt form. A raw-hem denim maxi with a high-slit for movement, it has the ease of something worn-in from day one — the kind of piece that works with a white shirt and trainers or a silk camisole for an evening. The brand produces it in multiple washes; the lighter options feel more considered for summer dressing, while darker washes work year-round.

The Olivia Low Waist Skirt — The Collaboration Piece

Designed in collaboration with Devon Lee Carlson, the Olivia is a low-rise full skirt made from deadstock polyester — which, like the Hanna, means limited stock across colourways. The Carlson collaboration brings a slightly more whimsical energy to Reformation’s usual register: fuller in the skirt, more playful in proportion. If you follow the brand and want the piece most likely to have a cultural moment attached to it this season, this is it.

A Note on Sizing and Fabric

Reformation sizing is not consistent across the range, which is worth knowing before you buy. The Carolina Silk and the Carla both run large — size down. The Hanna runs true to size. If you’re buying directly from the brand’s site, the individual product pages include model measurements and fit notes; take them seriously.

The brand’s sustainability framing is genuine at the fabric level — the deadstock pieces in particular are made from materials that would otherwise go to waste — but it’s worth reading beyond the marketing. Their 2025 Sustainability Report is available on-site for those who want the detail.
