The best patterned midi skirts balance a distinctive print with a cut and fabric that suit how you plan to wear them. My best overall pick is the CIDER Women’s Floral Mesh Midi Skirt for a current floral look, while the IDEALSANXUN Plaid Wool Skirt stands out for a more structured, cold-weather style and the Zeagoo Pleated A-Line Swing Skirt for practical pockets. The main tradeoffs are statement print versus easy styling, lightweight drape versus warmer structure, and a clean silhouette versus useful details. I compare all 10 options by pattern, fabric, cut, and everyday versatility. Read on for the full breakdown and guidance on choosing a skirt that fits your wardrobe.

Key Takeaways
- Floral mesh offers the widest styling range: CIDER is the leading fashion-forward pick, while the two Avanova options add boho styling; check product details carefully to distinguish their exact designs and construction.
- Plaid splits into two different uses: IDEALSANXUN‘s wool skirt is the structured cold-weather choice, while the pleated wool option puts more emphasis on movement and an elastic waist.
- Pockets are a defining practical difference: Abaadlw and Zeagoo list pockets, making them stronger choices for carrying small essentials than the more occasion-focused mesh and satin styles.
- Animal prints make a bolder statement: OXKnit‘s knitted tiger pattern brings a textured, casual feel, while the leopard satin option has a smoother, dressier look.
- Midi length is not a uniform fit: Listings range from knee-length plaid to longer midi and maxi-style cuts, so check garment measurements rather than relying on the word “midi.”

More Details on Our Top Picks
Avanova Women Mesh Floral Boho Midi Skirt High Waist Long Skirt
This Avanova is my pick for a light, flowing floral look that can work beyond casual weekends. Its breathable polyester-elastane mesh, elastic waist and lettuce-edge hem give it a softer, more relaxed feel than the structured plaid options from IDEALSANXUN and the Women’s Plaid Wool Skirt. That makes it easier to style for warm-weather outings or dressier plans, while the high waist helps define the silhouette. The tradeoff is that delicate mesh may call for gentler handling, even though the listed care says machine wash. Its long midi cut may also need hemming for some petite wearers. Compared with the double-layer Avanova Women’s Floral Mesh Boho Midi Skirt, this version emphasizes lightweight flow rather than a specified layered construction.
Pros:- Lightweight, breathable mesh suits warmer days
- Elastic high waist offers a flexible fit
- Floral boho print and flowy shape dress up or down
- Lettuce-edge hem adds a soft finish
Cons:- Long length may need adjustment on petite frames
- Mesh may require careful washing to preserve its condition
Best for: Shoppers seeking a breathable floral mesh skirt for casual days, office outfits or weekend occasions, especially those who like a long, flowy silhouette.
Not ideal for: Petite shoppers who want a ready-to-wear hem, or anyone seeking a substantial, structured skirt for cold weather.
- Material:95% polyester, 5% elastane
- Length:Midi
- Design:Floral boho mesh
- Waist:Elastic
- Hem:Lettuce edge
- Care:Machine wash
Our verdict“Choose this Avanova for an airy floral midi with more relaxed movement than the plaid wool styles.”
Avanova Women’s Floral Mesh Boho Midi Skirt
The double-layer construction gives this Avanova a different appeal from the single lightweight mesh description of its sister style, Avanova Women Mesh Floral Boho Midi Skirt High Waist Long Skirt. It is a better match for shoppers who want a floral mesh look with an added layer, while the A-line cut and elastic waist keep the shape easy to wear. The floral print and lettuce trim feel less formal than the IDEALSANXUN plaid wool skirt, but this option spans casual outfits, workwear and parties more readily than a distinctly seasonal wool design. Its main limitation is fit confidence: the product guidance specifically says to check measurements before ordering, and the description does not provide a precise skirt length or fabric weight. I would choose it for its versatile layered look, not for a highly tailored fit.
Pros:- Double-layer design adds coverage compared with a single-layer mesh style
- A-line shape offers an easy, familiar silhouette
- Elastic waist makes it simple to pull on
- Floral print and lettuce trim suit a range of outfits
Cons:- Sizing measurements should be checked before ordering
- Fabric weight and exact skirt length are not specified
Best for: Buyers who want a floral mesh A-line skirt with a double layer for casual wear, work outfits or beach and party styling.
Not ideal for: Shoppers who need precise fit guidance or prefer a structured, tailored skirt with a clearly stated length and fabric weight.
- Fabric:95% polyester, 5% elastane
- Length:Midi
- Fit:Regular
- Shape:A-line
- Design:Floral print with lettuce trim
- Construction:Double layer
- Closure:Elastic
- Care:Machine wash
Our verdict“Pick this Avanova if a layered floral mesh design matters more than exact fit details.”
IDEALSANXUN Plaid Knee-Length Wool Skirt for Women
For a polished plaid outfit, this IDEALSANXUN skirt is the most office-minded option in the group. Its wool-blend fabric, high waist, zipper and back slit create a more structured feel than either floral Avanova mesh skirt, which is better suited to soft movement and casual styling. The slit also allows easier walking in a fitted, business-leaning shape. There is a clear compromise: the listing calls this skirt knee-length, so it sits shorter than the mid-calf plaid silhouette of the Women’s Plaid Wool Skirt and may not meet a buyer’s definition of a midi. Care instructions are not supplied, and the description flags possible sizing variation. I would rank it for shoppers prioritizing workwear-friendly plaid over a longer, more flowing midi cut.
Pros:- Plaid pattern suits business and casual outfits
- Back slit supports movement in a structured silhouette
- High waist and zipper give a more tailored look
- Wool blend is suited to fall and winter styling
Cons:- Knee-length cut is shorter than a conventional midi
- Care requirements are not specified
- Sizing may vary
Best for: Office wearers seeking a high-waisted plaid skirt with a zipper and back slit for a more tailored fall or winter outfit.
Not ideal for: Shoppers set on a true mid-calf midi length, or anyone who needs clear care instructions and highly predictable sizing.
- Fabric:80% polyester, 20% wool
- Length:Knee length
- Design:Plaid
- Waist:High waist
- Closure:Zipper
- Back detail:Slit
- Suggested wear:Casual, business and office
Our verdict“Choose this skirt for office-ready plaid and a tailored shape, but skip it if midi length is non-negotiable.”
Abaadlw Maxi Skirts for Women with Pockets, Long Midi Length
The Abaadlw stands apart because large pockets take priority over a clearly specified print or decorative pattern. That makes it a practical choice for buyers who want a light, easy skirt with somewhere to carry small essentials, unlike the patterned Avanova mesh picks, whose appeal centers on floral design and a more dressed-up finish. Its elastic waist and breathable polyester suit casual outings and warm-weather plans, but the listing gives no named pattern or print details, so it is a less certain fit for anyone shopping specifically for a bold patterned midi. The care limit of 30°C also narrows washing flexibility. Compared with the plaid wool skirts, it is lighter and less structured, but it offers less of a polished seasonal statement.
Pros:- Large pockets add useful everyday storage
- Elastic waistband offers a comfortable pull-on fit
- Lightweight polyester suits warm-weather wear
- Machine-wash care is listed, with a clear temperature limit
Cons:- No specific pattern or print is described
- Washing is limited to temperatures no higher than 30°C
- The fabric and styling are less structured than the plaid wool options
Best for: Casual dressers who value pockets, an elastic waist and lightweight fabric for warm-weather errands, outings or holidays.
Not ideal for: Shoppers whose main priority is a distinctive, clearly described print, or who need a skirt that can be washed at higher temperatures.
- Fabric:100% polyester
- Length:Midi
- Waist:Elastic
- Pockets:Large pockets
- Care:Machine wash; do not wash above 30°C
- Origin:Imported
Our verdict“Choose Abaadlw for pockets and easy everyday wear, not for the most distinctive patterned-skirt look.”
Women’s Plaid Wool Skirt – A-Line, Pleated, Elastic Waist, Midi Length
This skirt offers the clearest classic midi plaid proposition in the lineup: a 31.1-inch mid-calf length, tartan pattern, pleats and an A-line flare. Compared with the IDEALSANXUN plaid skirt, it gives more length and a softer pull-on waist, while IDEALSANXUN has a zipper and back slit for a more tailored office feel. The side pockets are a useful bonus, though the listed 33.8-inch waist measurement and XL-only availability limit who can shop it. Its 80/20 polyester-wool blend points toward cooler-season styling, but the machine-wash listing may not answer every buyer’s care concerns. I would pick it for longer, casual plaid outfits, not for a broad size range or a lightweight summer skirt.
Pros:- 31.1-inch length offers a clear mid-calf midi silhouette
- Tartan plaid, pleats and A-line shape create classic seasonal style
- Elastic pull-on waist avoids a more restrictive closure
- Side pockets add everyday practicality
Cons:- Available only in XL according to the supplied product details
- Wool blend is less suited to warm-weather wear
- Care needs may require more attention than the machine-wash label suggests
Best for: XL shoppers looking for a mid-calf tartan skirt with pleats, pockets and a comfortable pull-on waist for fall or winter.
Not ideal for: Anyone outside the listed XL availability, or shoppers seeking a lightweight warm-weather skirt or a tailored zipper-front fit.
- Fabric:80% polyester, 20% wool
- Length:31.1 inches
- Waist measurement:33.8 inches
- Pattern:Tartan plaid
- Style:A-line, pleated and flared
- Closure:Pull on
- Pockets:Side pockets
- Care:Machine wash
- Origin:Imported
Our verdict“Choose this for a longer, pocketed tartan midi in XL, but look elsewhere if you need more size options.”
CIDER Women’s Floral Mesh Midi Skirt
The CIDER stands out for shoppers who want a floral pattern with a light mesh finish rather than the bolder statement made by the OXKnit tiger print. Its lined construction adds coverage beneath the mesh, while the high-rise stretchy waistband makes the pull-on design easy to wear with tucked-in tops. The midi length also gives it room to work for casual plans or dressier outfits, making this a more adaptable choice than a strongly retro patterned skirt. The tradeoff is care: it calls for hand washing and flat drying, so it takes more attention than the machine-washable Zeagoo pleated skirt. I’d choose it for a softer, layered floral effect, but not if low-maintenance laundry is a priority.
Pros:- Lined mesh provides coverage while retaining a light, layered appearance.
- Stretchy high-rise waistband makes the pull-on fit comfortable.
- Floral pattern and midi length suit casual and dressier styling.
Cons:- Hand washing and flat drying require more care than machine-washable alternatives.
- Polyester-spandex mesh may not feel as breathable as the OXKnit cotton skirt.
Best for: Shoppers seeking a lined floral mesh skirt that can be styled for both casual outings and dressier occasions.
Not ideal for: Buyers who machine-wash most clothes or want a bold, high-contrast print rather than a soft floral design.
- Fabric:95% polyester, 5% spandex
- Construction:Lined mesh
- Waist:High-rise, stretchy
- Length:Midi
- Closure:Pull-on
- Care:Hand wash; dry flat; iron on low heat
- Origin:Imported
Our verdict“Choose the CIDER if you want a covered, dress-friendly floral mesh skirt and are willing to hand-wash it.”
OXKnit Knitted Midi Skirt for Women, Retro Tiger Pattern, High Waist, A-Line, Cotton, Blue
The OXKnit is the lineup’s most distinctive choice for anyone who wants the print to lead the outfit: its retro tiger pattern has more visual punch than the CIDER floral mesh or the Zeagoo pleats. The 100% cotton fabric offers a breathable alternative to the polyester blends elsewhere here, while the high waist and A-line shape give the pattern a familiar skirt silhouette. Its machine-wash care is convenient, though the listing advises avoiding bleach and tumble drying, and careful handling may help preserve the color. This is less of a quiet wardrobe staple than the floral options, and the size chart deserves close attention. I’d pick it for a vintage-inspired statement, not for buyers seeking a subtle print or several color choices.
Pros:- 100% cotton offers a breathable fabric option among the polyester-blend picks.
- Tiger pattern gives outfits a clear retro focal point.
- High-waist A-line shape pairs the statement print with a familiar silhouette.
- Machine-wash care is simpler than the CIDER skirt’s hand-wash routine.
Cons:- Bold tiger print may be harder to coordinate than the CIDER floral pattern.
- Limited color options restrict styling choices.
- Careful size-chart checking and gentle laundry handling may be needed.
Best for: Shoppers who enjoy vintage styling and want a breathable cotton midi skirt with an unmistakable tiger motif.
Not ideal for: Buyers who prefer understated patterns, need multiple color options, or want a skirt with sizing that requires little chart checking.
- Material:100% cotton
- Pattern:Tiger
- Style:Retro, vintage
- Fit:High waist, A-line
- Care:Machine wash; do not bleach; avoid tumble drying
- Origin:Imported
Our verdict“Pick the OXKnit if you want a breathable cotton skirt whose retro tiger pattern stands out more than a conventional floral.”
Women’s Midi Flowy A-Line Casual Skirt with Pockets, S-2XL
Among these picks, this skirt makes the strongest practical case for everyday wear: it pairs a flowy A-line shape with side pockets, a feature the CIDER floral mesh and OXKnit tiger skirt do not list. Its elastic back waistband and pull-on closure can make getting dressed straightforward, while the machine-wash care is easier to manage than CIDER’s hand-wash instructions. The chiffon fabric is described as soft and breathable, but the supplied details do not identify a specific pattern, so it is a less certain choice for someone shopping mainly for a standout print. It also offers less cold-weather coverage than the Zeagoo option, which is described as suitable year-round. I’d favor it for warm-weather errands and casual plans, not for winter wear or a print-first wardrobe.
Pros:- Side pockets add everyday utility not listed for the CIDER or OXKnit skirts.
- Elastic back waistband and pull-on closure keep the design simple to wear.
- Machine-wash care is lower-maintenance than the CIDER skirt.
- Flowy A-line chiffon is described as breathable for warmer weather.
Cons:- The product details do not name a specific pattern, making its patterned-skirt appeal less clear.
- Lightweight fabric may offer little warmth in colder weather.
Best for: Practical dressers who want a machine-washable, warm-weather midi with pockets for casual outings or workdays.
Not ideal for: Shoppers choosing primarily for a clearly specified bold pattern, or those who need a skirt suited to colder months.
- Fabric:95% polyester, 5% spandex
- Length:Midi
- Design:A-line, high-waisted
- Waist:Elastic back waistband
- Pockets:Side pockets
- Closure:Pull-on
- Care:Machine wash
- Origin:Imported
Our verdict“Choose this skirt for pockets and easy warm-weather wear, but look elsewhere if a defined statement print is your main priority.”
Leopard Skirt for Women Midi Length High Waist Silk Satin Elasticized Casual Ladies Skirt
This leopard-print option brings a smoother, dressier finish than the OXKnit’s playful retro tiger motif. Its fabric is listed as 60% polyester and 40% silk, giving buyers a silk-containing alternative to the polyester-spandex CIDER and Zeagoo skirts. The high waist, elasticized fit, and pull-on closure keep the silhouette easy to style, while the midi length can work across casual and more formal outfits. The print is the main limitation: unlike the lineup’s floral designs, it is offered here as leopard only. Sizing also calls for care because the listing warns it may run small. I’d choose it when a refined animal print is the goal, but the CIDER is a better direction for floral styling and the OXKnit for a more visibly retro look.
Pros:- Silk blend distinguishes its fabric from the polyester-spandex CIDER and Zeagoo options.
- Leopard pattern creates a polished alternative to the OXKnit tiger motif.
- High waist and elasticized pull-on fit are designed for comfortable wear.
- Midi length is described as suitable for casual and formal occasions.
Cons:- Leopard is the only listed print, limiting pattern choice.
- May run small, so buyers should check the waist measurements before choosing a size.
- Care instructions are not specified consistently in the supplied product details.
Best for: Shoppers who want a polished animal-print midi with a silk blend for outfits that range from casual to dressier.
Not ideal for: Buyers who want floral or multiple print choices, or who prefer a predictable fit without checking the size chart carefully.
- Fabric:60% polyester, 40% silk
- Pattern:Leopard
- Closure:Pull-on
- Length:Midi
- Waist:High waist, elasticized
- XS waist size:26–28 inches
- S–XL waist sizes:S: 28–30 inches; M: 30–32 inches; L: 32–34 inches; XL: 34–36 inches
Our verdict“Choose this skirt if you want a silk-blend leopard print with a more polished feel and are prepared to check sizing closely.”
Zeagoo Women’s Midi Skirts High Waisted Pleated A-Line Swing Skirts with Pockets
The Zeagoo is the practical pick for shoppers who want pleats, pockets, and easy laundering in one midi silhouette. Its high-waisted A-line swing shape offers more structured movement than the flowy chiffon pocket skirt, while the elastic waist keeps it simple to pull on. Compared with the CIDER, Zeagoo is the clearer choice for low-fuss care because it is machine washable; it also adds pockets that CIDER does not list. The tradeoff for this roundup is that the supplied description does not name a particular pattern, so it may appeal more to buyers seeking a pleated shape than a distinct print. Lightweight polyester-spandex fabric can wrinkle if not cared for properly, and the listing flags length as a sizing point to check. I’d choose it for versatile, functional styling, not as the boldest patterned option.
Pros:- Pleated A-line swing design gives a more structured look than the flowy chiffon pocket skirt.
- Pockets add useful storage for everyday wear.
- Machine-wash care is easier than the CIDER skirt’s hand-wash requirements.
- Elastic high waist makes the skirt a straightforward pull-on style.
Cons:- The supplied product details do not specify a pattern, so its patterned-skirt appeal is unclear.
- Lightweight fabric may wrinkle if not cared for properly.
- Sizing may require attention to achieve the intended length.
Best for: Shoppers who prioritize machine-washable pleats, pockets, and a versatile high-waisted midi for regular wear.
Not ideal for: Print-focused buyers who want a clearly specified motif, or anyone unwilling to check measurements for the desired skirt length.
- Fabric:95% polyester, 5% spandex
- Length:Midi
- Design:Pleated, A-line, swing
- Waist:High waist
- Closure:Elastic
- Pockets:Included
- Care:Machine wash
Our verdict“Choose Zeagoo for a practical, easy-care pleated midi with pockets, but pick another option if the print itself needs to be the focal point.”
How We Picked
I compared these skirts by how well their print, cut, and fabric work together for a patterned midi wardrobe. I gave weight to useful details shoppers can verify in the listings, including waist construction, stated fabric, pocket availability, skirt shape, and the described length. I also considered whether each pattern has a clear styling role, from floral mesh for a lighter, dressier outfit to plaid wool for cooler weather and animal print for a bolder look.
The order reflects versatility and clarity of use, not a claim that every skirt suits every body or season. Options with an identifiable role and practical details rank ahead of more specialized designs; comfort, care requirements, lining, opacity, and exact fit still need checking in each listing. Similar products are separated by their stated construction and intended wear, and I avoid treating uncertain details as proven performance.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Best Patterned Midi Skirts
Choosing a printed midi is less about finding the loudest pattern and more about matching fabric, scale, length, and wardrobe use. These checks can prevent a skirt that looks appealing online from becoming difficult to style or uncomfortable to wear.
Match the fabric to the season and setting
Start with the fabric because it affects comfort, drape, opacity, and care more than the print alone. Mesh and satin tend to read lighter or dressier, while wool and knit styles are more naturally suited to cooler days and casual layering. A thin printed skirt may need a slip or careful underwear choice, so look for lining information rather than assuming the print provides coverage. Wool can feel warm but may call for gentler care than an easy-wash casual fabric. Avoid choosing by season labels alone: check the material blend and care instructions against your climate and laundry routine.
Check skirt length by garment measurements
“Midi” can describe very different hems, from around the knee to lower-calf or near-ankle length. Compare the listed skirt length with a skirt you already own, and account for your height and where the waistband sits. A hem that lands at a comfortable point while standing can ride up when sitting or walking, especially in a narrow cut. If a listing also uses “maxi,” treat that as a signal to verify the measurement rather than assuming a standard midi. This small check can prevent a mismatch in both coverage and proportions.
Choose print scale for the outfits you actually wear
Large florals, plaid checks, and animal motifs each make different demands on the rest of an outfit. High-contrast or oversized prints become the focal point, so they pair most easily with simple tops and restrained accessories. Smaller or lower-contrast patterns can be easier to repeat across work and casual outfits, though the specific colors still matter. A useful test is to name three tops and two pairs of shoes you would wear with the skirt before buying it. If the print only works with a single planned outfit, it may be a special-occasion choice rather than a wardrobe staple.
Read the waist and silhouette details together
A high waist, elastic waistband, pleats, and A-line shape affect fit in combination, not separately. Elastic or gathered waists can offer flexibility, but they may add bulk or sit differently under a tucked-in top. Pleats create movement and volume, while a straighter or narrower shape may be easier to layer under longer outerwear. Check the size chart and waist measurements, especially if the listing gives a broad size range. Avoid assuming that a stretchy waistband removes the need to check hip room or overall skirt length.
Decide whether pockets are worth a silhouette tradeoff
Pockets are useful for small essentials, but their placement and construction can affect how a skirt hangs. Practical pockets may add volume around the hips or show through lightweight fabric, so look for product images that reveal their position. If you plan to carry a phone or keys, confirm that the pockets are described as functional and large enough for those items rather than relying on the word alone. A smoother, pocket-free skirt may fall more cleanly for a dressier outfit. Choose based on the items you actually carry and how much you value a streamlined shape.
Check care and layering needs before buying
Patterned skirts can require more upkeep than their casual appearance suggests. Mesh, satin, knit, and wool may each have different washing, drying, or snagging concerns, so read the care label details in the listing. Consider whether the fabric needs a slip, tights, or a particular underlayer for coverage and comfort. A skirt that requires special care can still be a good choice if you expect to wear it often enough. If low-maintenance dressing matters most, prioritize clear care instructions and fabric details over a pattern you may wear only occasionally.
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I tell whether a midi skirt will reach the length I want?
Check the garment length in the size chart instead of relying on the “midi” label, since listings can use that term for hems from knee level to lower calf. Measure from the waistband of a skirt you own to its hem and compare that figure with the listing. Think about where you wear the waistband, because a high-waisted fit changes the hem position on your body. If no length is provided, the product name alone cannot confirm the coverage you want. This matters especially when comparing knee-length plaid styles with longer midi or maxi-labelled options.
Are floral mesh skirts suitable for everyday wear?
They can work for everyday outfits if the fabric, lining, and care instructions suit regular use. Check whether the skirt is lined or sheer and whether the mesh feels appropriate for your usual setting. A simple knit or shirt can make the print feel more casual, while dressier shoes and accessories can shift the same skirt toward an occasion outfit. Consider snagging and washing needs before choosing it as a frequent-wear piece. If you want the easiest daily option, a more structured or pocketed skirt may be simpler to style and maintain.
Should I choose wool plaid or floral mesh for a year-round wardrobe?
Neither fabric is automatically year-round: wool usually suits cooler weather better, while mesh often feels lighter but may need extra coverage or layering. Choose based on your climate, indoor heating, and how often you wear tights or layers. Wool plaid has a clearer cold-weather role and a more structured look; floral mesh offers a lighter, more decorative direction. If you want one skirt to wear across seasons, check the fabric weight and styling options rather than relying only on the print. A versatile color palette can help either style work with more of your wardrobe.
Do pockets make a patterned midi skirt less flattering?
Not necessarily, but pockets can change how the skirt sits and how much volume appears around the hips. Their effect depends on placement, depth, fabric weight, and whether the skirt is fitted or full. Look closely at product photos for pocket outlines and check whether the fabric is light enough to show them through. If a smooth line matters most for a formal outfit, a pocket-free style may be a safer choice. For errands or everyday wear, the added utility may be worth a small change in drape.
How do I choose between a bold animal print and a floral or plaid pattern?
Think about how often you want the skirt to be the main focus of an outfit. Animal prints, especially high-contrast ones, usually read as a stronger statement, while floral and plaid patterns can range from subtle to equally bold depending on scale and color. Check your existing tops and shoes for colors that repeat in the print; this makes a standout skirt easier to wear more than once. Fabric also changes the effect: knit can feel casual, while satin can look dressier. Pick the pattern that fits your regular settings, not just the product image you like most.
Conclusion
Best overall: I recommend the CIDER floral mesh skirt for shoppers who want a distinctive, fashion-forward print. Best value: the Avanova floral mesh styles are the lower-commitment choices for exploring boho florals, though compare their listing details before deciding between them. Best premium-style pick: the IDEALSANXUN wool plaid skirt is the strongest fit for a structured, cooler-weather wardrobe. Best for beginners: Zeagoo’s pleated A-line option is a practical starting point for someone who wants a familiar silhouette and listed pockets. Best for specific needs: choose Abaadlw for a longer pocketed cut, OXKnit for a casual knitted tiger pattern, or the leopard satin skirt for a smoother statement look. If you are still torn, decide first whether you need warmth, pockets, or a standout print; that choice narrows this lineup faster than pattern preference alone.
