Lord love a tube skirt. Narrow enough to look like actual “be seen in public” clothing, but the elastic waist and soft fabric feel like pyjamas.

This Bleusalt tube skirt is on sale right now. I bought it in 'navy’ (more of a midnight blue, really) at the beginning of lockdown last year and only just wore it out this week for the first time. The soft Tencel jersey, spun from beechwood fibres, is sustainable (and just as important) it’s machine washable.

Unlike the lovely model in her crop top (above), I do wear the skirt with a longish, loose shirt that gently (and compassionately) skims over my midsection. Dark blue is a nice change from black and the narrow cut makes it look tailored enough to work with structured fall shoes like lug-soled loafers or Chelsea boots, both of the moment.

Throw on some nice sunglasses and retrieve a proper purse from the depths of your closet and it’s a painless way to help you re-enter polite society.
