Greta Suede Skirt in Light Chestnut

The skirt that makes fall dressing feel effortless. Suede-like, structured, and completely flattering.

The Melissa Nepton Greta Skirt in Light Chestnut is the fall wardrobe piece that earns its place season after season. A high-waisted faux-suede skirt with a flared A-line silhouette, vertical and horizontal paneling, and tonal topstitching that gives it a tailored, architectural quality. The straight hem and flared silhouette create a shape that's both structured and feminine — the kind of skirt that flatters every body and works with everything in her wardrobe. In light chestnut, it's the warm, earthy neutral that goes with everything. By Melissa Nepton.

Why she'll love it

The faux-suede fabric is the detail that makes this skirt genuinely special — it has a rich, tactile quality that woven fabrics don't replicate, and the 90% polyester, 10% spandex construction gives it just enough stretch for all-day comfort without sacrificing the clean, structured silhouette. The vertical and horizontal paneling with tonal topstitching is the construction detail that elevates it from a simple A-line skirt to something with a fashion-forward, architectural quality. The high waist is the fit detail that makes the flared silhouette work for every body — it defines the waist and lets the A-line flare from the right place.

What makes it different

Melissa Nepton is a Montreal-based designer known for considered construction details and a fashion-forward sensibility. The Greta Skirt is a perfect example — the paneling and tonal topstitching give a simple A-line silhouette a distinctive, architectural quality that sets it apart from a standard faux-suede skirt. The spandex blend gives the faux-suede fabric a comfortable, wearable quality that pure polyester doesn't have. This is the skirt that works from September through February without adjustment.

How to wear it

Wear with a fitted turtleneck or ribbed knit for a classic fall look. Or style with a simple white or ivory blouse tucked in for a more polished, office-ready ensemble. The light chestnut colorway pairs beautifully with cream, ivory, camel, and warm browns, and with black for a high-contrast look. Finish with ankle boots or pointed-toe flats for a complete fall outfit.
