The Abercrombie & Fitch Girls Drop Waist Pleated Mini Skort in Blue is a 100% cotton skirt-shorts hybrid for girls aged 5 to 16 years, part of the A&F AW2026 collection. The skort format combines the visual silhouette of a pleated mini skirt with built-in shorts underneath — the shorts are not a separate garment but an integral part of the skort construction, providing coverage and freedom of movement without any additional layering required.
The drop waist sits on the hip rather than the natural waist, positioning the waistband lower on the body so the pleated skirt section falls from the hip downward. This creates a relaxed, slightly oversized feel through the hips that is distinctly more fashion-forward than a fitted-waist mini skirt — it’s a silhouette that reflects current tween and teen fashion trends rather than a classic or timeless cut. The pleated construction adds volume and movement to the skirt section, which drapes and swings differently from a flat-fronted skort. Made from 100% cotton woven fabric in China. Available in sizes 5–6 years through to 15–16 years.

Care Instructions
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle. 100% cotton woven fabric can shrink if washed at high temperatures — 30°C is essential for a pleated garment where shrinkage would distort the pleat structure and change the skirt length. Hang to dry rather than tumble drying, which will also help the pleats retain their fall. If the pleats lose definition after washing, a cool iron on the inside of the pleat folds will restore their crispness — iron on the reverse of the fabric only. The blue cotton should be washed with similar coloured items to prevent fading from dye transfer in either direction.
