Khaite Coda Skirt in Bronze | Skirts | Coveti

The Khaite skirt most people search for is the Jett, a minimal miniskirt in glossy Italian lambskin with a concealed side zip, $3,930 at Coveti in black leather and $2,900 in dark olive plongé. Beyond the mini, the label’s skirts fall into three families: the high-waisted Loxley pencil with its corset-like fit, the fluid A-line Coda with godets, and the full, pleated Adara in silk organza. Woven styles run in US sizes 0 to 12.

Khaite currently lists 40 skirts. Leather accounts for a good share of them, which is why the Jett, Loxley, Lyle, Luiza and Anden all appear in leather as well as cloth. This guide starts with the Jett, then moves through the longer shapes, with Coveti prices throughout.

The Khaite Jett skirt

The Jett is Khaite’s answer to the leather mini: no pockets, no hardware on show, just a clean short shape that closes with a zip hidden at the side. Three versions are on offer at Coveti.

Because the Jett has nothing to soften it, it works best against texture. A chunky cashmere sweater and a knee boot is the Khaite way to wear it in autumn, and a crisp shirt and a flat is the summer version. The black leather is the one to buy first; the wool silk is the easiest to wear to an office.

Leather skirts beyond the mini

Loxley

The Loxley is a high-waisted pencil skirt shaped by darts for a corset-like fit, with a high slit and a concealed zip at the back. The Loxley Skirt in Black Leather is $5,840 and the Loxley in Black Croc-Embossed Leather is $7,160. In cloth, the Loxley Skirt in Charcoal ($4,370) is tailored in double-faced flannel, and earlier versions are listed as the Loxley Skirt from $2,489.

Lyle, Luiza and Anden

The Lyle Skirt in Black Leather ($6,870) is a clean column in light nappa lambskin, cut to sit low on the waist with side panels that contour the body and a back slit. It also comes in sky blue leather at the same price. The Luiza Skirt in Black Leather ($7,750) is the long one: a corset-like high waist over a curved hip, tapering into a side-slit pencil that ends at the high ankle. The Anden Skirt in Black Leather ($6,570) borrows from trousers, with a zipped fly, belt loops, side pockets and a back welt pocket, plus a central slit and discreet pleats.

Pencil skirts in cloth

The Winton is an elongated, tapered pencil skirt made in Italy, with a contoured waistband and a back slit. The Winton Skirt in Black ($2,570) is in double-faced satin, the Winton in Clove ($2,720) is in double-faced crepe, and the Winton in Lady Print ($3,490) carries a painterly print inspired by the portraits of Milton Avery. The Luiza Skirt in Black ($3,750) is the crepe version of the ankle-length Luiza.

Fluid and full skirts

Coda

The Coda is a fluid A-line in lightweight voile, chosen for its softness and silky sheen, with godets set into the skirt for movement and a concealed zip at the back. Both colours are new at Coveti: the Coda Skirt in Black Silk Blend and the Coda Skirt in Bronze, each $5,840. Khaite pairs the bronze with its Briar top.

Adara

The Adara is the statement skirt: made in the United States in silk twill organza, mid-waisted, with deep pleats and an interior of hand-ruched horsehair that pushes the volume out from the waist. It has side pockets and a hand-finished hem. The Adara Skirt in Black, Bronze and Cream are each $6,280, and the Adara in Lady Print crushed satin is $7,160.

Astrid, Nania and Tal

The Astrid Skirt in Black ($7,160) is silk shantung organza with asymmetric pleated folds at the waist and a low-slung detail. The Nania Skirt in Black ($3,020) is a low-slung A-line in double-faced satin, and the Tal Skirt in Cream ($3,020) is a double-layered linen blend with a front slit.

Knit, column and denim skirts

The Petra Skirt in Black ($2,570) is a straight, close mid-calf knit in milano-stitched viscose with a stretch waistband. The Ziva Skirt ($3,340) is a cable-knit column in cashmere and mohair, made in Italy. The Signe Skirt in Black ($8,780) is hand-knit from a cotton lattice woven with strips of tulle, which Khaite says takes around 20 hours of handwork. For denim, the Kendra Skirt in Benson ($1,190) is a high-rise five-pocket pencil made in Los Angeles, with marigold topstitching and a back slit.

Sizing a Khaite skirt

Khaite’s woven and leather skirts run in US sizes 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12. Fitted shapes are where size matters most. The Loxley and Luiza are corset-like at the waist, so measure the waist and size to it. The Lyle and Nania are designed to sit lower, closer to the hip, so take a hip measurement too. Knits run XS to XL, the Signe comes in XS/S and M/L, and the Kendra follows the denim waist sizes of 23 to 32. The Khaite size guide converts US sizes to UK and EU.

How to wear a Khaite skirt

A leather Jett with a cashmere crewneck is the house shorthand; the Khaite knitwear guide picks the sweaters. Add a knee boot from the Khaite boots guide to close the gap between hem and knee. A Loxley pencil wants a leather jacket and a pump, and the Khaite leather jackets edit has the cuts that match. The Coda and Adara need very little else: a fitted knit, a flat sandal and a small bag. For a skirt with more colour, compare the Khaite dresses in the same voile and organza.
