Versatile Checked Midi Skirt from M&S
Marks and Spencer has added a versatile piece to its womenswear collection: the Cotton Rich Checked Midi A-Line Skirt. Priced at £40, the skirt blends heritage-inspired checks with an easy-to-wear silhouette. It is crafted from cotton-rich fabric with added stretch, featuring a high-rise elasticated waistband with an adjustable drawstring.
According to M&S, the neutral checked pattern gives a timeless feel that is easy to style. The skirt can be paired with a simple white T-shirt for everyday wear or dressed up with a blouse for work and formal events.
Customer Reviews Praise Lightweight Fabric
Reviews have started to stack up, with many shoppers praising the skirt. One person wrote: "Really nice lightweight skirt that will go with most things so very easy to wear, wash and dry."
A second shopper added: "Saw this skirt in my local store. Just what I needed - not too long, cool lightweight fabric, flattering A-line shape, in classic cream/beige/grey/brown 'tartan' design, that goes with most of my summer clothes - and looks great with a sweater for evening wear. Not expensive and will be easy to pack for holidays or weekends away. Top Marks."
A third reviewer explained: "Bought this skirt for work, needed something cool but still looking smart. Hasn’t disappointed. Love it! Very easy to maintain ie no ironing. Have had lots of compliments."
One mixed review noted: "Lovely skirt. True to size and falls to lower calf - am 5’7. Had a few compliments when I wore it to work. The fabric is cool and doesn’t crease easily so all good. All it’s missing are some pockets which would have earned it five stars."
A five-star review reads: "Very happy with this purchase. The fabric is soft and hangs nicely. The colour and check remind me of a famous make so very appealing. I’m 5ft 4 in. So ordered the petite size to make sure it was mid length and it is."
