Girls' Long Skirts, Ages 8 to 15
Long skirts for girls aged 8 to 15 suit older girls who find knee-length styles too young. A long skirt falls to the calf or ankle. On cooler days it goes with tights and boots, and in summer with sandals and a T-shirt. She can tuck a jumper in or knot a shirt at the waist for school trips, parties and weekends.
Sizes go by height in centimetres, so measure her against a wall with no shoes on and pick the nearest size: a 10-year-old usually takes 146 cm. You notice length more on a long skirt than on a short one. If she is between sizes, the smaller one keeps the hem off the floor and the larger one gives her room to grow. For shorter styles, see Skirts. Fabric and care details are on each product page.
Your questions answered
MINOTI's long skirts for girls aged 8 to 15 fall to the calf or ankle and are sized by height in centimetres, and an 8-year-old usually takes 134 cm.
What size long skirt does a 12-year-old need?
A 12-year-old usually takes 158 cm. Go by her height rather than her age, though: if she is taller than 158 cm, choose 164 cm so the hem still reaches her calf or ankle.
What can she wear with a long skirt in winter?
Thick tights and ankle boots keep her legs warm under a long skirt once it drops below 10°C. Add a tucked-in jumper or a cropped cardigan so her waist still shows and the length does not swamp a smaller frame.
