This is one of those skirts that makes you think: "nice and smart." Until you put it on and discover that it’s also incredibly comfortable. The BRIGIT by MADNESS has the look of a beautiful, dressy skirt, but is made of a comfortable organic cotton jersey with stretch. No zipper, no buttons, no fuss: just pull it on and you're ready.
The skirt is made of 97% organic cotton and 3% elastane and features a very fine texture in the fabric. This makes it just a bit more sophisticated than a smooth jersey skirt. And that color: TEAL. A deep blue-green shade that is truly beautiful and surprisingly easy to combine.
Why is the MADNESS BRIGIT such a great skirt?
Mainly because it is a wonderful combination of comfortable and polished. The elastic waistband makes the skirt easy to pull on and comfortable to wear, while the cut ensures it drapes beautifully along the body.
The small slit at the front completes it perfectly. It's not overly high or revealing, but just enough to make the skirt more playful and allow for easy movement.

How does the MADNESS BRIGIT skirt fit?
The BRIGIT fits nicely along the hips and thighs without feeling stiff, thanks to the stretch in the fabric. The elastic waistband also offers a comfortable amount of give.
In the photos, I am wearing size 42 and I am 1.75 meters tall. This gives you a good idea of where the skirt hits on the leg and how high the slit falls.
What kind of fabric is the BRIGIT made of?
This is not your ordinary smooth T-shirt jersey. If you look at the detail photo, you will see a very subtle horizontal texture in the fabric. This is exactly what gives the skirt a richer look and ensures you can wear it just as easily for a smart occasion as for a casual one.
The small amount of elastane gives the fabric plenty of stretch to move with you, while the organic cotton feels soft and breathable.
How do you style a TEAL skirt?
Actually, it's very easy. TEAL sits somewhere between deep green and blue, making it a great color to pair with navy, black, neutral tones, cream, gray, and various shades of green.
For everyday wear, I would style the BRIGIT with a beautiful wool sweater and boots or sneakers. If you want a dressier look, it pairs beautifully with a blouse, turtleneck, or a fine wool camisole worn under a cardigan or jacket.
Is there a matching jacket for the MADNESS BRIGIT?
Certainly – and that makes this skirt even better. We also have the matching short jacket/cardigan from MADNESS in the exact same TEAL fabric.
Together, it almost forms a suit, but without the stiffness that a classic tailored suit can sometimes have. In the photos, you can see the complete set. Underneath, I am wearing a wool camisole from LANIUS. With a nice pair of shoes, this immediately becomes a fantastic outfit for work, a dinner, a party, or any other occasion.
Is the MADNESS BRIGIT produced sustainably?
Yes. The BRIGIT is made of organic cotton and is GOTS-certified and fairly produced. GOTS sets requirements for both the organic fibers used and various environmental and social aspects within the production chain.
How do you wash the MADNESS BRIGIT skirt?
Always follow the care label in the skirt. Wash it preferably inside out, at a low temperature, and with a mild detergent. By not washing it hotter or more often than necessary, both the color and the fibers stay looking good for longer.
It is best to let the skirt air dry and avoid the tumble dryer. This is gentler on the fabric, allowing you to enjoy it for as long as possible.
