Nomi Designs Rumi Wrap Skirt

Ran across this while looking for some outfit ideas. First off - $200CAD is quite expensive for any skirt, let alone a simple design as this. What I found interesting - besides the fact that they specifically sell a men’s model - is that the men’s version comes in three drab colors, whereas the women’s version comes in nine colors. I suppose it’s less risky to limit the color palette on the men’s variations… however the fit dimensions are identical and this is a true wrap skirt - so in all likelihood they are identical products.

Yes, linen is a great fabric and no doubt well made in Canada but beyond my budget.
If you are buying them for us, I will have a Hayley Dress in sage, size XS (must be big people in Canada) ......... thanks. Oops, it is not a men's garment ........ nor colour.

However, on Ebay.co.uk there is a "Next tailoring size 16R blush pink 3 piece suit Rami lined top skirt jacket" that is currently for auction at £1.20, with zero bids so far, ending at 1345GMT on Saturday.

It might suit someone here.

Pricey and yeah, another example of premium pricing for prefixing skirt with man.
Still more economic to aisle hop.

The stain on the back of skirt might be a bit off-putting. ewww.

Actually, the men's and women's skirts are priced identically, so in this case no premium male markup - just the usual designer markup.

Though $200 Canadian is a lot. That thing is one hundred percent linen if they are to be trusted. Linen is not cheap. Wears like iron and after a few washes is so comfortable.
