SIMKHAI Westly Open Stitch Knit Skirt

Product Insights & Style Tips

The SIMKHAI Westly Open Stitch Knit Skirt moves with airy sophistication, channeling a blend of sunlit minimalism and sensual restraint. Rendered in a creamy ivory and a quietly tactile open stitch, the midweight knit feels both substantial and insouciant—subtle transparency gives it a diaphanous cool factor without losing the feeling of luxury. There’s an unmistakable modernity in its elongated, nearly floor-skimming form; the pleating of openwork draws the light in all the right places, skimming over the frame with ease and just a hint of intrigue.

The pull-on silhouette and elastic waistband make it a study in unfussy wear—no zips, no fastenings, just a smooth ascent to the waist that keeps the silhouette uninterrupted. The knit hugs fluidly through the hips, yet the fabric’s stretch works with the body rather than against it, allowing for movement from city streets to coastal escapes. Its unlined semi-sheer finish invites layering: a crisp bodysuit, tonal briefs, or oversized shirting keeps the look artfully undone or subtly daring, depending on context and mood. The elongated length complements both sneakers and strappy heels, shifting easily from AM to after dark—one of those rare skirts that feels statement-making yet understated at once.

SIMKHAI’s eye for nuanced detailing is apparent in every open stitch, referencing ongoing obsessions with transparency, textural knits, and elevated slip essentials seen from New York to Paris. The Westly skirt becomes a chameleon—think Raey minimalism meets Proenza edge—playing perfectly into the current energy for mesh layers and softly structured separates, all with that LA-touched polish SIMKHAI is known for.
