Casual, simple, it's a perfect skirt to throw on with a t-shirt and sandals and go to run some errands.  It's made of a medium weight material and comes to a few inches above the knee (I'm 5.7) in my usual size of 10, just as it does on the model in the photo.  The only slight negative for me is that the waist is a wee bit big but, since I wear my t-shirts loose rather than tucked in, it doesn't show and the comfort and versatility of the skirt more than outweigh this slight negative.
