‘Floaty’ M&S skirt that ‘holds you in’ reduced from £30 down to £9

Marks and Spencer shoppers are staying stylish in the hot weather, wearing the Pure Cotton Poplin Tie Side Midi Skirt to work and on days off. Stocked in black and dark chocolate, sizes are rapidly selling out, across petite, regular and long.

The midi skirt has a flattering A-line shape, that skims hips before falling to ankle length. An elasticated waistband is not only a comfortable feature, the tie sides add a trendy touch, elevating the overall look.

This skirt can be paired with a number of items in an existing wardrobe, from a plain vest to a lightweight cardigan. We love the idea of popping on a pair of ballet pumps for a fashion forward outfit.

At full price, the Pure Cotton Poplin Tie Side Midi Skirt is £30, however, consumers that sign up for a free TopCashback account here can essentially get the skirt for £8.25 after cashback.

Overall, the M&S skirt has been rated 4.7 from 62 reviewers, proving it a popular pick among customers. One person said: “I am so glad that this skirt arrived in time for the heatwave, it is so light and floaty and so cooling to wear when it’s really hot. The simple style and plain colour make it so easy to dress up or be casual. Washes well and easy to iron.”

A second shopper shared: “Stunning skirt it’s so comfortable to wear has a nice band that kind of holds you in material is really easy to iron and you can dress it up or looks great with just a T-shirt and sandals bought the petite and it’s a great length on my 5ft frame.”

The sizing does not work for everyone and another person noted: “This is a really nice skirt, and I loved the colour. Unfortunately the style did not suit me, it made me look as though I was wearing a crinoline skirt – a bit too voluminous around the hips. I am sure that it would look fabulous on somebody taller.”

Those that love the style but would rather a playful print, might be interested in this polka dot alternative from Nobody’s Child. The Kitty Mid Waist Elasticated Midi Skirt (£65) reminds shoppers of ‘something out of the 50s’. It also ‘hangs beautifully’.

At Roman, this Cotton Poplin Midi Skirt in purple retails for £30. Shoppers express how they ‘love the style and colour’. All three skirts have earnt praise for having pockets, espeically the Marks and Spencer offering.

Speaking on the M&S skirt, someone said: “Everything needed for a hot summers day. Comfortable, useful pockets, excellent value, wearable anywhere with a cool top.”
