Check this product's size guide — bootcut and wide-leg jeans are a closer fit, so you may need to size up.
Your favourite mini just joined the party. Our bestselling Mini-Flare Skirt is back in rich black stretch velvet, bringing swish, softness and a little after-dark glamour to every outfit.
Its perfectly weighted fabric swings and twirls as you move while giving you enough coverage to dance with confidence.
Pair it with the matching velvet wrap top, add sparkle tights or dress it down with a cosy knit when the party moves into daytime.
Designed to sit above the knee, this mini has a wide elasticated waistband for a secure, supportive fit that stays in place without rolling. Two deep side pockets lie flat against the skirt, holding your phone and essentials without adding bulk.
The velvet pile is deliberately cut upwards to create a deeper, richer black: it feels smooth when stroked up and slightly textured when stroked down.
While the outside is strokably soft, the inside feels completely smooth against your skin, making it a lovely choice for anyone sensitive to textured fabrics.

98% of Snagglers never return because they get the perfect fit first time. Measure yourself to get the most accurate results.
How to Measure
For the most accurate measurement, ditch the clothes and measure in your comfiest underwear.
Keep the measuring tape loose and comfy. Don't dig into your skin, we want those skirts to fit with room to breathe.
Waist
Measure the narrowest part of your waistline, usually an inch or two above your belly button.
Hips
Stand with your feet together, and measure around the fullest part of your hips and bum.
Our skirts are designed to be high waisted, so please keep that in mind when taking your measurements.

Frequently asked questions
What is a flare skirt?
A flare skirt sits close at the waist and hips, then widens out towards the hem, so it moves and swishes as you walk rather than sitting straight down like a pencil skirt. Ours has a high, thick waistband and thick, opaque fabric, so the shape holds rather than just billowing out.
What do you wear with a flare skirt?
A flare skirt works with almost anything on top, from a fitted jumper to a loose blouse, since the fullness is all happening below the waist. Ours pairs particularly well with Snag tights, and it can be dressed up for a night out or kept casual for every day.
Can you wear a flare skirt in winter?
Yes, ours is made from thick, opaque fabric designed to be worn through every season, not just summer. Pair it with tights and boots when it's cold, or bare legs and sandals when it's warm, and it works either way.
Does a flare skirt have pockets?
Ours does, deep pockets built into the seams and big enough for your phone and keys. They're part of the design with Snag skirts, not a decorative flap stuck on top.
What size flare skirt should I get?
Ours comes in nine sizes, from A/B to J, covering sizes 4 to 38. The waistband is thick and supportive by design, so it's built not to ride up or roll down once it's on, whatever size you're wearing.
