We break down what drove each score so you can weigh trade-offs.

Quality Analysis 80/100

This wool-blend pencil skirt, tailored with stitched princess seams, offers a sculpting fit. The mid-weight fabric and 98% virgin wool content suggest a garment built for lasting wear, though the 2% elastane adds a touch of flexibility without compromising the non-stretchy structure.

Comfort Assessment 60/100

This wool-blend pencil skirt offers a flexible fit thanks to its partially elasticated waist, ensuring some ease of movement. However, its mid-weight, non-stretchy fabric and sculpting fit might feel restrictive for all-day wear.

Sustainability Impact 60/100

This wool-blend skirt, made with 98% virgin wool, lacks specific sustainability certifications or details regarding animal welfare or traceability, which are key for assessing the environmental and ethical impact of wool.
