Marie-France van Heel, wife of Prime Minister Andy Burnham, was seen wearing a £46 burgundy faux-leather midi skirt from Next as she arrived in Liverpool on Saturday, September 26, for the Labour Party annual conference, which runs until September 30.
Outfit details and styling
For the appearance, she paired the skirt with a crisp white shirt, slingback heels and a Coach Tabby bag. The skirt, described as the standout piece of the outfit, features a mid-length cut that gives it a smart and polished feel. The burgundy colour is considered perfect for the autumn season, with many sizes still available online.
Skirt design and materials
The midi skirt has a pleated kilt design and is made from 100 per cent recycled leather with a PU coating. It is also available in a chocolate brown colourway, which is described as on-trend for colder seasons.
Alternative options from other retailers
For a different look, the M&S website offers a Lyocell Blend Checked Ruched Midi A-Line Skirt priced at £28 in a "green mix". Shoppers have praised its waistline as "super comfortable". Meanwhile, Nobody's Child sells a Navy Tartan Check Pleated Mini Skirt, originally £75, now reduced to £60. It is high waisted with pleated detail and would pair well with tights and boots.
At the time of writing, the Next skirt has one short review on the website, which reads: "Excellent."
