AO YES Fall/Winter 2026
The Pankou Bow Tie Button Mini Skirt in Black has the same two decorative knot details at the front hip as the grey version, but in a smooth solid black rather than a heathered fabric.
It’s A-line through the hip with front seams running down to the hem, and a mini length that sits above the knee.
Because the fabric here is a flat, smooth weave rather than the wool-look heather of the grey colorway, the knots stand out more clearly against the plain black surface.
The waist has no visible seam or panel, so it reads as one continuous piece rather than a separate waistband stitched on.
Part of the AO YES Fall/Winter 2026 collection from the Shanghai-based label, it’s the more versatile of the two colorways to build an outfit around, since black works with more of what’s already in a wardrobe than grey does.
The two knots sit high on the hip, so a belt worn with the Pankou Bow Tie Button Mini Skirt in Black would sit above them rather than covering the detail.

The mini length pairs naturally with knee-high boots, since there’s no hem length competing with where the boot shaft ends.
The smooth fabric here also means the skirt drapes a bit closer to the body than the heathered wool-look version, with less visible texture up close.
Since there’s no elastic panel visible in the construction, it sits with a clean, structured line rather than gathering the way an elastic waist would.
Try it with a cropped jacket that hits right at the natural waist, so the top of the skirt and the hem of the jacket meet without a gap of shirt showing between them.
