M&S maxi skirt ‘amazing for bloating’

M&S is known for its range of comfy yet flattering summer clothes, and now fans have been raving about a linen-rich maxi skirt from the retailer’s range. The Maxi Wrap Skirt costs £30 and is available in two staple colours that are easy to style for daily wear: black and oatmeal.

Currently shoppable in UK sizes 6-24 – and in three handy lengths: petite, regular and long – the skirt can be dressed up or down, styled with ballet flats, mules, heels or sandals. Easy to team with a t-shirt, vest top or even something a little smarter, it’s a versatile addition to any new season wardrobe.

Featuring a breezy and breathable material, it works as well for BBQs and weekend plans as it does for the office. It appears to have won the retailer’s shoppers over thanks to its comfy elasticated waist and flattering wrap design.

If M&S’s wrap skirt doesn’t suit, then fashion lovers can also check out the ASOS DESIGN linen blend wrap skirt, which comes in an on-trend buttermilk yellow hue. Priced at £32, it’s a great option for those who prefer a pop of colour during the warmer months.

Meanwhile, Boden has the Dimitra Linen Column Skirt which retails for £99 and comes in three colours including green, red and white. Back to M&S, and the Linen Rich Maxi Wrap Skirt has received high praise from shoppers.

One said: “Lovely fit, and very comfortable to wear, purchased the black, pulls on like a skirt but looks like a wrap skirt, feels soft and not itchy. Rolls up nicely as well.”

Meanwhile, another said: “I love this skirt. It’s the perfect length for me, and as I’m a shortie, it’s not often you hear me say that.

“The waist does have some elastic in it, so that’s amazing for me as I have a stomach condition which causes bloating and pain. I would love to have this skirt in more colours, though, i.e., pale blue.”

One did deduct a star for the material, commenting: “This looks great and hangs really nicely. Would prefer a slightly heavier linen, but you get what you pay for.”

Despite this, others adored the item with another person writing: “Love this skirt. Versatile, fits and washes well. Perfect for summer.”

A further reviewer said: “Very pleased with this skirt – just the right length and weight for summer wear. You can adjust the waist, it hangs well.”
