Three pieces: where each skort length lands on your leg, what a UPF figure on a swim skirt is promising, and how to wash a fleece-lined legging and a faux-leather one. The sources behind the sun and label claims are listed on how we update the catalogue.
A 14-inch tennis skirt and a 20-inch golf skort are two different pieces for two different days, and a photograph of a model whose height you do not know cannot tell you which one covers your knee. What a skirt length is, how to measure a piece you own, where each of the seven lengths on this site ends on a leg, and what the shorts underneath do about it.
More than fifty pieces in the range print UPF 50+ on the label, and the figure is easy to read as more than it is. What a UPF number measures, why 50 is the line the sun-safety bodies draw, what happens to it when the cloth is wet or stretched, where the garment stops protecting you, and how a rash guard fits into the rest of what dermatologists ask for.
The two pieces on the cold-weather shelf that buyers write to us about after the first wash are the fleece-lined flares and the faux-leather leggings, and they want opposite things. What the care label is legally promising, what heat does to a brushed fleece and to a pleather face, why a faux-leather legging sheds, and a wash routine for each that keeps the water-resistant finish and the matte face where they are.
