Next's Poplin Drop Waist Midi Skirt, priced at £38, has garnered praise from shoppers for its flattering fit, particularly for those with wide hips and a desire to emphasise a flatter stomach. The skirt, available in white, tan and navy, comes in short, regular and long lengths in sizes 8 to 26, with the white colour also offered in a petite fit.
Design and Availability
Made from 100% cotton, the skirt features a dropped waistband that flows into an elegant A-line silhouette. Shoppers have noted its versatility, suitable for both casual and formal occasions. One reviewer said: "Love this skirt. So comfortable to wear and fits just right. Nice length and looks good with either trainers or sandals."
Shopper Feedback
Another shopper commented: "The drop waist and lovely deep pockets make this a go to skirt for the summer." A third highlighted its flattering qualities: "The cotton is cool in heat and it has pockets. It’s feminine as it’s diaphanous yet the drop waist emphasises a waistline and flatter stomach."
For those with wide hips, one buyer shared: "Perfect skirt, good quality fabric. There are pockets, which I really like. This skirt is perfect if you have wide hips, I couldn't find a skirt for a very long time, but this one fit perfectly."
Alternative Options
Similar styles include the M&S Pure Cotton Maxi Drop Waist Skirt at £40, available in sizes 6 to 24 in moss, and the £32.99 Chiffon Circle Skirt from New Look, which has an elasticated waist and A-line cut. While most feedback is positive, one shorter shopper noted the skirt was still too long even in the shorter length.
