Shoppers are praising a £40 Marks & Spencer skirt that they say is 'ideal for autumn and winter' and looks similar to a Vivienne Westwood design.
A standout piece for autumn
The countryside chic trend is set to be big news in fashion this autumn, and M&S shoppers have been praising a skirt that nails presenter Claudia Winkleman's Highland chic dressing style. The statement checked print on the design looks similar to Vivienne Westwood.
The Checked Midi A-Line Skirt is proving a popular choice online, with buyers praising its 'beautiful print' and 'perfect fit.' It comes in sizes 6-24, though some options have already sold out.
Design and styling
Featuring a regular fit with a flattering A-line shape, the skirt also boasts a bold pattern with a high rise waist that flows out into a voluminous skirt. Available in three lengths including petite, regular and tall, it's ideal for teaming with knee high boots, and a chunky knit or a cropped jacket.
Elsewhere on the high street, ASOS is selling the Stradivarius Checked midi skirt with pointed hem in dark grey for £35.99. Those who prefer a shorter option may wish to opt for the Boden Multi Panel Wool Blend Skirt, which comes in three lengths and is usually £159. At the time of writing, the code 9Q3A brings its total down to £135.15.
Shopper reviews
Despite its premium-looking design, M&S' skirt is priced at £40 and 'drew many compliments' according to buyers. One person said: "Gorgeous skirt. Beautiful skirt, lovely colours, ideal for autumn and winter season. Perfect fit and length."
A second raved: "This is a fabulous skirt, the fabric, cut and colours are lovely. It will go with lots of tops. Excellent value!" A third said: "Loved the look, didn't disappoint. Fabulous skirt, very versatile, suitable for party, evening or day casual wear."
A fourth commented: "This skirt will look lovely with numerous coloured jumpers and black boots." One did award the item a five star review but mentioned a minor concern, commenting: "This skirt was perfect for the occasion, Goodwood Revival. I was a little disappointed at first that it wasn't lined but it is so full that it didn't really matter, not see-through. It felt good to wear and drew many compliments."
Despite this, someone else raved: "I love this skirt, it’s very beautiful, nice fit, great length. Wish it came in other colours. This is a really lovely skirt."
