Product Overview
The Brook Taverner Empoli A-line skirt is a cornerstone of the Sophisticated Collection, designed specifically for professional environments where appearance and longevity are paramount. This well-engineered garment offers a classic A-line silhouette that provides a flattering, structured look while ensuring the wearer remains comfortable throughout a demanding shift. By blending traditional tailoring aesthetics with modern textile technology, Brook Taverner has produced a skirt that meets the rigorous demands of corporate and hospitality workwear.
Key Features
- A-line Silhouette: This classic cut offers a professional profile that complements a wide range of body types, ensuring your team presents a cohesive and elegant image.
- Centre Back Vent: The inclusion of a discreet rear vent allows for a greater range of movement, preventing the fabric from pulling or restricting the stride during busy periods.
- Slanted Side Pockets: These practical pockets provide a convenient place for essential items without disrupting the clean lines of the skirt's design.
- Twin Buttons on Waistband: This detail provides a secure and adjustable fit, adding a touch of traditional tailoring to the waistband.
Design & Performance
The performance of the Empoli skirt is rooted in its sophisticated fabric composition. Utilising a premium blend of 54% Polyester, 44% Wool, and 2% LYCRA® Elastane, the garment offers the best of three worlds. The wool content provides a high-quality finish and natural temperature regulation, while the polyester ensures the skirt can withstand the daily rigours of the workplace without excessive creasing. The addition of LYCRA® provides a subtle stretch, which is essential for comfort when sitting or moving frequently.
This medium-weight fabric feels substantial and durable, yet remains breathable enough for year-round wear. The A-line design is particularly effective for those who require a professional appearance but find more restrictive pencil skirts impractical for their specific job roles.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
To further elevate your brand, the Empoli skirt can be customised by our expert team. For a truly professional and long-lasting finish, we recommend embroidery. This is ideal for adding small company logos or staff names to the waistband or near the hem, providing a refined touch that withstands repeated laundering.
Alternatively, print customisation is available for those who require more prominent branding. All customisation is managed in-house at our Telford facility, where our team, backed by decades of experience since 1976, ensures that every logo is applied with precision to maintain the integrity of the garment's sophisticated aesthetic.
Use Cases
This skirt is an excellent choice for front-of-house staff in the hospitality sector, corporate office environments, and travel and tourism professionals. Its balance of elegance and practicality makes it suitable for anyone who needs to look their best while maintaining full mobility during the working day.

Practical Advice
For a complete professional uniform, we recommend pairing the Empoli skirt with a tailored blouse or shirt from the same Sophisticated Collection. When selecting your size, consider that the A-line cut provides more room around the hips than a standard straight skirt, which can offer a more comfortable fit for active roles.
Caring for your product
To maintain the professional appearance and the structural integrity of the wool-blend fabric, it is essential to follow the care instructions provided. This garment is machine washable, which allows for convenient domestic care while ensuring the fabric remains hygienic and fresh.
When washing, avoid using harsh bleaching agents as these can break down the natural wool fibres and the elastane, leading to a loss of shape and colour. We recommend a gentle cycle to preserve the finish of the fabric and the precision of any added embroidery or print. Proper drying—ideally hanging the garment naturally—will help to minimise creases and reduce the need for heavy ironing, which can eventually glaze the fabric surface.
