Fun skirts for just about everything!
I have four of the Whenever cord skirts and just ordered another color! They have been my go to "errand running", "shopping, and "casual days about town" skirts this Fall and Winter. They pair wonderfully with tights and boots and can be dressed up or down with a long sleeve t shirt or a dressy sweater. I receive compliments on them wherever I go. Although I am petite and 5'2", I went with with an 8 regular as I am a little modest about my ... lengths, and they hit just slightly above the knee; I really love the little flare at the hem. I probably could have gone with a 6 as the waist was just slightly big. I really love this ... highly recommend it!




PERFECT!
Love these skirts. I have several Whenevers and Whatevers. They fit my needs perfectly. Love this skirts color, weight, and stretch. Athleta has done it again.




Love it!
I own 3 of the skorts in this style. I am 5'4", 124 pounds. I ordered the 4 Tall in this because I like my winter skirts to be 23" long. The fit is perfect. The grape jam color is beautiful. Would like to own it in asphalt and black too. I especially like that on the skirts, the top stitching is tonal and not contrast stitching like it is on the skorts.




Great casual ...
I have two of these skirts - my husband bought me the green (Tapenade) one last year and I bought the Fieldstone color this fall. This is a great casual ... - very comfortable. I am 5'8", 150 pounds and usually wear a 10 or 12 in jeans/pants/skirts, size M in athleta skirts and L in athleta workout pants. I have this ... both a 12 [...] and 10 - the 10 fits much better, so I would say this ... very true to size. I can still wear the 12 no problem by just cinching up the drawcord at the waist, it's just a little looser, which doesn't matter that much with this ...



Cute ...
I am 5'5" 112#, 25" waist, 36" hips. I bought a size 2 because I wear leggings under my skirts in the fall and was worried the ... would sit tight on my hips if I bought a 0. The ... fits over the leggings fine, but does cling a bit to the leggings while walking, so a silky lining would be nice. It is a little large in the waist and while the drawstring is a nice idea, once you tie it you have this lump at your waist from it being tied. But if you knot it to avoid the lump of a bow, then it's too hard to untie later. I think Athleta would do better to mimic the adjustable waist idea that some manufacturers put in children's clothing, rather than a drawstring. The ... flares out cute, I personally like the flounce. It makes it different from most of the other corduroy skirts I've seen. It's a nice length. The material is lightweight, which makes it tend to wrinkle easily in the back after sitting. But, it is a very cute ... running around town in and quite comfortable. I've gotten several compliments.



Fun, modest, and comfortable
I haven't been able to find attractive, comfortable knee length skirts in any of the malls and stores in my area. I work in a business casual environment, and this ... exactly what I was looking for as part of my daily wardrobe. I'm 5'5" with an hourglass shape (read: full thighs), and was hoping for comfortable and modest skirts that had some style or visual interest. The flared/ruffled stitching of the ... very attractive and visually appealing, yet provides room for movement and comfort in a way that a pencil ... just doesn't for my build. I ordered an 8 regular and it fit perfectly.



Cute but not for me
I'm not a ... person but I have 3 of the Whatever lighweight skorts & love them so I thought I'd try the corduroy version. I ordered a 10 & 12 & the 10 fit best but the fabric is heavier so it doesn't drape the same way. While it looked pretty cute I decided that it would probably end up hanging in the closet since I hate to wear hose/tights so rarely if ever wear skirts/dresses in the winter. However if you do like wearing skirts I would recommend this style - note that it is just about knee length!


Just Okay
I LOVE my summer weight Whatever skorts. I have 2 pr. I've been waiting for the cord version to go on sale, so when it did, I jumped on it. However, the material isn't heavy enough to hold the ... down in the normal folds (?). It just looks a little odd. The material is stretchy enough that it exaggerates my tummy bulge, then fits tight in the hips, then flares wide like bellbottoms just above my knees. I'm a pretty average size (5'4/140 lbs) and wear a size 4/6 in Athleta bottoms/skirts, so I'm not super curvy OR straight hipped. I did notice the model in the picture has no hips, and the ... looks great on her. :) I kept the ... just because I've been wanting iit for so long. If worn w/ longer shirts or sweaters over top, it's fine.


cute shape
the material on this ... very thin for corduroy. very cute shape on the ... normally wear a S, sometimes XS for athleta and got size 0 for this ... size 2 probably would sit on around my waist better (but since it's a ... can go anywhere). none of athleta's more structured skirts fit me properly since i think their fit model is very skinny w/o curves. i'm probably a normal size 4 but would def go down a size or two for this ... fun cold weather ... wear around with boots.

What were they thinking?
I'm not sure why the waist on this ... so large. I have a normal woman's waist to hip ratio, but when I put on this ... had to use the drawstring to cinch up several extra inches of fabric. This gave it a bumpy, wrinkly look at the waist. Otherwise, the design is lovely. I love swingy skirts and fine wale corduroy. I was disappointed because I was so looking forward to wearing this ... work.

Not What I Expected
I ordered two of the cord skirts because I love the 'Whenever' skorts so much. Unfortunately, I need to return both cord skirts. They are not as flattering on me probably due to the fabric. They wrinkle, cling and the fabric is very thin for the price. This will not keep me from ordering other items in the future though. I just love this line of clothes!
