Marks & Spencer has added a new versatile piece to its womenswear range: the Cotton Rich Checked Midi A-Line Skirt, priced at £40. The skirt blends heritage-inspired checks with a fuss-free A-line silhouette and midi hem, designed to transition between summer and autumn.
According to M&S, the skirt is made from cotton-rich fabric with added stretch for comfort, featuring a high-rise elasticated waistband with an adjustable drawstring. The neutral checked pattern makes it easy to style.
How Shoppers Are Styling It
The skirt can be paired with a white T-shirt for a casual look or a blouse for the office. It is available in sizes 6 to 24 on the M&S website, in petite, regular, and tall lengths. Customers report it 'fits true to size' and it is currently listed as 'popular' and selling fast.
Customer Reviews
One shopper wrote: "Really nice lightweight skirt that will go with most things so very easy to wear, wash and dry." Another said: "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... Not expensive and will be easy to pack for holidays or weekends away. Top Marks."
A third added: "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 shopper noted: "Lovely skirt... The fabric is cool and doesn't crease easily... All it's missing are some pockets which would have earned it five stars." Another five-star review read: "Very happy with this purchase. The fabric is soft and hangs nicely... I'm 5ft 4 in. So ordered the petite size to make sure it was mid length and it is."
