flowing skirts

Loose, draping garments

Flowing skirts are skirts made from lightweight, loosely draped fabric that moves freely with the wearer's motion.

The term emphasizes graceful movement rather than a specific cut—A-line, maxi, and peasant skirts can all be flowing if the material has enough drape and swing: She twirled in her flowing skirt.

The opposite would be structured or fitted skirts.
