Tracy Knit Skirt, Dark Grey Melange

The Tracy Knit Skirt in Dark Grey Melange from My Essential Wardrobe is a proper investment piece of autumn knitwear — a beautifully soft brushed knit mini in a rich melange dark grey, cut with a ribbed waistband that pulls on easily and sits smoothly, and a ribbed hem that holds its shape.

Here's what earns this piece its £80: 100% pure wool, certified to the Responsible Wool Standard (RWS). That certification matters. RWS is a proper independent third-party standard that guarantees the wool has been sourced from farms that meet strict animal welfare requirements AND land management standards, with full traceability all the way through the supply chain. Not marketing language — a genuine certification. License No. IDFL – TE-00131181.

So beyond the beautiful soft brushed hand-feel and proper natural warmth you'd expect from 100% wool, you're buying knitwear you can feel properly good about. That's the whole MEW premium-tier proposition in one small skirt.

Dark Grey Melange is the most useful autumn-into-winter neutral there is — a rich, deep, tonal grey that plays with cream, camel, black, denim, chocolate brown and every deep autumnal shade in your capsule. The melange gives it depth so it never reads flat.

Beautifully partnered with our Jola Rollneck Pullover in Douglas Green (also 100% pure wool, also MEW premium tier) tucked in, opaque tights and boots — the deep green against the dark grey melange is a proper considered autumn-tonal palette and one of our favourite head-to-toe MEW looks of the season.

From My Essential Wardrobe — one of our premium-tier brands, quietly known for this kind of proper investment knitwear at exceptionally good prices for the fabrication.
