Why the Aritzia Babaton Advent Skirt Is Taking over Office Dress Codes Everywhere
By Alexander Ross
No knit garment is invincible, and candid buyer feedback highlights specific maintenance requirements. Because the Advent features dense filament loops, friction against rough surfaces, such as textured office desk chairs or abrasive canvas totes, can generate surface piling over time.
Washing demands discipline. Putting this skirt into a standard dryer will shrink the elastane core and distort the hemline irreparably. Longevity requires hand washing or running a gentle machine cycle in a mesh laundry bag with cold water, followed by flat air drying.
Hanging the skirt on a standard clip hanger will also ruin it. The weight of the dense knit pulls the fabric downward, leaving indentations at the waist and stretching the midi length into an awkward ankle graze. Wardrobe longevity depends on folding the piece over a wide wooden hanger bar or storing it flat in a drawer.
