THERE’S nothing as versatile as a denim skirt – and if you’re on the lookout for the perfect pair, it’s worth popping down to Marks & Spencer.
Customers of the popular high street retailer are loving a denim midi skirt that you can dress either up or down, depending on the occasion – and it’s purse-friendly too.
The popular garment – the Denim Belted Midi Circle Skirt – is currently going for an affordable £39.50, and you’re sure to reach for it over and over again.
Available in sizes from UK 6 to UK 24, the stylish wardrobe staple comes in regular, long and petite – although be warned that some sizes of the latter are already out of stock.
Made from a comfortable linen and cotton-blend fabric, the classic item is crafted in a circle shape, enhancing your waist and hugging your figure in all the right places.
The denim skirt, which boasts a rich blue look, also features a bow belt and a slit at the front – while side pockets added extra practicality.
Are you obsessed with the double-denim trend as much as we, at Fabulous, are? You can pair the midi number with the matching Denim Round Neck Blouse, £29.50, also from Marks and Spencer.
With over a dozen gleaming reviews, it comes as no surprise the skirt has racked up an impressive 4.5-star rating and is currently in high demand.
One happy shopper wrote: “I love the skirt – it’s smart, comfortable, looks great on my shape and fits me as a maxi skirt as I am short!
”Love the ease of its style, it’s great for a smart-casual look as well as casual.”
Someone else penned: ”Great fit and really comfortable. A good skirt for every day, and the denim look goes with everything.”
A third penned: “Really nice smart-casual skirt. Love the stripes on the belt, ideal for lunch with friends at the weekend and for the office.”
Although for the most part the feedback has been great, with very little criticism, one fashionista gave the product three stars.
According to the customer, who’d purchased the skirt for a more put-together ensemble, the sizing was totally off.
“I thought it would be good for work and casual. I loved the style and fabric, but the size 10 was way too big and size 8 too tight.”
Why don’t you style the skirt with their new Straw Shoulder Bag, £49.50, which looks very similar to the viral Loewe Ibiza Small Font Tote, £850?
Easy to style and ideal for elevating any outfit, the straw tote is the perfect summer bag of the season – and you’re sure to look chic on the beach with it.
Deputy Fashion Editor Abby McHale revealed to Fabulous why M&S is the shop of the moment. She explained:
“M&S has really pulled it out of the bag this season, there is so much good product to be excited about.
“A brand once known for its ‘frumpy fashion’ that notion is long gone with it now being one of the leading high street stores for womenswear.
“Its handbag range in particular is super strong with them selling 170% vs plan, with lots more designer dupes for just a fraction of the price.
“The brand is now also the #1 for style perceptions, compared to the #3 spot it had last year, this comes from a really strong design team focused on modernising the brand, not only taking into consideration how the pieces look, but how easy they are to wear also.
“Price is also a big factor with you being able to get many good quality pieces all for under £30.
“After having a sneak peak of the upcoming collection there are so many more amazing pieces that are dropping over the next few months to keep your eyes on.
“Think leopard print dresses, colourful co-ords, embroidered boho jackets, plus lots of swimwear and amazing accessories, as well as great wardrobe staples that will last year on year.”
Unlike the high-end version, the M&S bag measures 26cm in height, 32cm in width and 12cm in depth, while the Loewe bag is smaller measuring 19.5cm in height, 25cm in width and 11cm in depth.
What’s more the M&S Straw bag is open but does have a magnetic fastening, whereas the Loewe bag is open – so, it really is a no-brained.
Plus, if you need more convincing to check it out, the budget-friendly M&S bag has an internal pocket to hide those valuables, such as your cardholder or phone.
