Marks & Spencer's new £35 skirt is the style of the season
From tenniscore and cowboycore to utility dressing and the boho revival, there are enough spring/summer trends to satisfy even the most fickle of fashion lovers. But honestly, as soon as the sun comes out after a long, cold, rainy winter, all we want to do is pull on the easiest, breeziest outfit possible and get outside. Of course we want to look stylish, but not if curating an Instagrammable look takes us all morning. Get where we're coming from here? Then let us introduce you to our latest obsession: the cotton poplin A-line skirt.
Our humble skirt style of the season could not be simpler to wear. Or more timeless, meaning you can justify spending a bit more on a piece you'll wear year after year. This skirt fits and flares in the shape of a capital A to either a midi or maxi length. But crucially, it's made from a tightly-woven, finely ribbed cotton that holds its billowy shape, giving you a crisper, more striking silhouette than floaty styles.
This skirt's subtle feminine structure will lend your look some polish, whether you dress it up with heels and a blazer, add some edge with a leather jacket, or keep things casual with a graphic tee, an oversized jumper and some new 'It' trainers. In short, it's our kind of chic and comfy capsule wardrobe hero.
In terms of colours and prints, there's a cool-girl skirt for all tastes in the shops right now. We'll definitely be picking one up in white – it's just so versatile in the warmer months, whether plain or broderie anglaise – but we've also spied some lovely striped designs that feel gorgeously nostalgic for seaside day trips. Co-ords are still big news for 2024, too, so keep an eye out for a matching top or waistcoat to wear with your chosen skirt.
