Is this skirt suitable for all professional environments?

Can this skirt be worn year-round?

Troubleshooting
Skirt feels too tight or restrictive.
Ensure the correct size has been selected. The stretch fabric offers some give, but a size too small will naturally restrict movement. Consider trying a size up if comfort is paramount.
Concealed zip is difficult to move.
Check for any fabric caught in the zip mechanism. Gently pull the zip up and down. If the issue persists, a small amount of lubricant (like graphite from a pencil) applied to the teeth may help.
Fabric appears to be losing shape after washing.
Ensure you are following the care instructions precisely, especially regarding water temperature and drying methods. Air drying is often best for maintaining fabric structure.
